Sorry for the hiatus

Ben and I went on a nearly three week vacation, filled with lots of good food, good fun and of course good beer. I didn't take notes on the beers themselves, but I twittered a bunch about the breweries/beer in Asheville (Pisgah was the best!). You can check out my twitter here. Asheville is definitely THE beer destination on the east coast. It is also a beautiful part of the country (we swam in a waterfall!).

Another beer highlight was the beer tasting we did at the Brick Store Pub with Beer Advocate Lance. We got to taste the best beer ever again. The Brick Store Pub is a fantastic beer destination if you're in the Atlanta (Decatur) area. The staff are friendly and engaging and they always have great beer on tap. If I lived in Atlanta, I'd be there at least once a week.

We also hit up Sweetwater's brewery tour, and came home with a case of Donkey Punch Barleywine. I think it is called "DP" on the label...

Sweetwater was our savior in Alabama as well- in the beer section there was Bud, Miller, Coors and... Sweetwater! When we ran out of good beer we'd brought with us, we loaded up on their Blue and 420. Awesome.

A great trip, all around!

We're continuing the Lack of Responsibility Tour '09 with a trip to Connecticut on Monday. Next Saturday, we'll be attending Captain Lawrence's Cuvee de Castleton release in P-ville, NY. I'll try to post more next week.

Cheers!
