Hey beer lovers,
Here’s the podcast from yesterday’s Brews News discussion on Local Edge Radio. We talked Beers & Baseball, Brews Cruise, Oktoberfest, Blind Eye Beer Tasting, and cherry tomatoes.
Also, comments are closed on the Beer Naming Contest for Asheville Brewing Company (below). We’ll be announcing the winner (I hope) next Tuesday here, on Mountain Xpress, on ABC’s Facebook page, on Twitter and on Local Edge Radio. It’ll be a beer naming media extravaganza.
In case you missed it–one of the slightly obscene photos from Baseball & Beer that were posted on the daily newspaper’s Web site. That’s my buddy Steve “The Heat” from Highland Brewing and James from Mountain Xpress. I was sober. Pinkie swear.
Also, I’m psyched to be going to the first ever Beer Bloggers Conference in Boulder, Colo., in November. The conference organizers have asked folks to vote for which city the con should be held in next year. Asheville is on the list. While I, personally, really want to go visit our nemesis city of Portland, Ore., I think it’d be another feather in Beer City, USA’s cap to host this conference.
So, if you’d like to support that cause, go vote here. And thanks to those of you who voted after I tweeted about it–holy hell, Asheville went from 6 to 77 votes in a matter of hours. We were in second place for a while (after Philadelphia) but someone’s since rallied San Francisco, so we’re currently in the third slot. So vote!

What is this silliness about Portland being the nemesis of Asheville? Why can’t we just be one big happy beer geek family?
And on that note, I vote San Diego. Actually, hmmm no. I want a city that I’ve never visited. But then, I think I’ve been to all the cool cities. So Asheville, it is. Just kidding, just kidding.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Cheers,
Ashley
I agree, Ashley. Beer geeks unite!
I’m dying to visit Portland. Maybe later this fall…
Can’t wait to meet you too!
