Last year it lasted a couple of weeks. I'm going to be there next Friday, so I hope that holds again this year.

I don't see this making it to Sunday. They aren't doing the staggered release for some reason. Pro tip... If you are wanting to get bottles, show up around 8 pm on Friday.

Has anyone made a trip to Asheville, NC before?

Considering a trip there, and want to know what I need to do beer wise. Wicked Weed for sure, what else?

EDIT: there's so many places there, is Wicked Weed even a top one?

Hey guys, my buddy is opening up a brewery here soon south of San Antonio. Dude knows his stuff and will no doubt kill it. Can't wait to go check it out.

I can vouch for the few I've had. We might need to plan a visit/bottle share out there one weekend this fall.

The company I work for built all the pedestrian bridges for New Belgium's facility so we stopped in when we visited our east coast production facility last winter. The site was still under construction so we didn't have any beer there, but I believe it's mostly finished out and open now. Its an amazing location.

Both Wicked Weed spots are really nice. Definitely hit them up.

Green Man was probably my second favorite, with Burial being my third.

Seco and I had a bottle share with the brewer at my place one night. He made a lambic for his wedding and called it his "nuptu-ale" and it was absolutely fantastic. He's really good.

Anyone know anything about the Platypus brewing that's coming up in Houston? Or been to the new Eureka Heights?

Definitely Wicked Weed and their Funkatorium (all sours). I enjoyed Burial too. Stay downtown and you can walk to all of them. We did a beer bus tour and that was a blast.

Interesting article on the growth of craft breweries and what some people say is a bubble. This guy has pretty good evidence against that.

https://www.brewersassociation.org/insights/there-arent-enough-breweries/

Basically he's looking at production vs. brewery quantity growth. The only time craft beer took a hit (lots of them closing) is late 90s, and his chart shows that production wasn't growing, only number of breweries.

now in recent years, yes brewery count is skyrocketing, but production is growing even faster, lending the idea that we're not done. When production slows/stops and breweries keep opening, that's when a bubble may pop.


The underlying factor here in my opinion is, currently, every day another person switches to craft beer. This means more demand which equals higher production for even all the big breweries, and enough thirst for new breweries to open up. As soon as there is a period of no new craft beer drinkers, and breweries keep opening, we'll have problems. All that new production will have no mouths to consume it.

It's very common for stores and bars both to hang on to stuff. I liquor store near me a few years ago did a 'cellar' blow out, they had 4 and 5 year old stuff in there.
