Oh damn

August 26th, 2006 by Atomictumor

beer.jpgWe’ve stumbled into something big…

Tonight, Chattanooga is throwing a beer festival downtown.  Thats going to be hard to avoid, particularly because Highland Brewing is going to be there, and their Oatmeal Porter and Tisgall Ale is some damn, damn good drinkin.

15 bucks a head, and one free token, tho.  God knows how much subsequent tokens are. 

Can I let brokassatude keep me from enjoying tons and tons of microbrews? 

We’ll see.  Update to come.

 

BTW, with regards to last night, I highly, highly highly, highly highly highly recommend the band Ballroom Dancing. 

Yes, its a pain in the ass to Google them because all you get is, well, links about ballroom dancing, but they were the most high energy kickass opening band I’ve seen since Whirlwind Heat. 

They’re out of Cleveland, TN, and I don’t see any Knox shows coming up, but surely we can talk em into it.

Because they kicked hella ass.

 

 

Damn, this is a long assed picture.

 

And theres no photo editing software at the farm to do a decent size of shrinking it. 

 So I’m still talkin.

    Oh, just reread the post, she’s talking about the whole photoimaging thing. No, I’m a fireworks man, and I just don’t feel like going through the trouble of installing it down here.
    Whats up Lissa? Verbal pontification issues?

    Oh… a beer festival. I’ve never been to one of those. Do they really exist?

    Bosphorus, if you want a beer festival, and if you like (or can stand) bluegrass music, you should check out Brewgrass (ha ha) each year in Asheville, NC. I don’t know exactly when this year’s is (too lazy to check), but I went a few years back, and a friend has been back since, and the brew samplings and the music and the atmosphere are all outrageously good. It totally beats standing on hot asphalt in August in Chattanooga drinking Big River swill.

    AT, I’m a transplant, but I’ve been here off and on since 1989.

    Brewgrass: Saturday, Sept. 23, Asheville…. I love bluegrass, and really good beer. Sounds like there’s going to have to be a road trip.

    Oh damn. I love three things:
    Beer
    Live bluegrass
    Asheville

    I don’t see a downside to this equation, and can seat 7. 6 comfortably. Dibs on not being the DD.
