pre-Halloween Road Trip

starting my morning with this blog. had a late night at work yesterday but it was great. i was able to accomplish a lot of pending stuff. and now, it's Friday, the weekend beckons.

and, as much as i want to Wahoo this weekend, it's not going to happen yet. i'm reserving that trip for a special girl -- when i find her -- lol. this weekend, the guys and i are going on a road trip. of course, 2 hours hardly qualifies as road trip but hey, i'll take what i can get. we're going to Asheville, NC for wine tasting. oops, make that beer "tasting."

i do not foresee this as another drunken debacle like last weekend. i know days before, i'd come off like a character from the Hangover. we are seldom like that actually. we drink our beers like gentlemen and pass out like gentlemen LOL.

but seriously, this'll be a good time with close friends. i've lined up three breweries, and we really will savor our beers. we'll drink, and talk some. there's a band playing in one of the breweries i picked so we might give them a listen.

Here's my list:
1. Green Man Brewery: one of the oldest breweries in Asheville, i'm going to try their Porter and Stout. i'm also curious about their Rainmaker Double IPA. i'll try that too if it's available

2. French Broad Brewing Co.: apart from my liking the name, there's music this Saturday night. their 13 Rebels ESB is a favorite.

3. Asheville Brewing Company: will go for stout again here, with their Scout Stout. then i'll have a Shiva, which is their flagship beer. of course, we wouldn't miss out on their King Kong Wings.

now, that's about it. end of Saturday, we'd check into a motel. and no, no getting naked. unthinkable with the bunch of guys i'm with, yuck! i haven't even gotten them into Funtime Getaways, and i've known them for years. we've arranged for some fly fishing with the Asheville Drifters the next day... then we'll be back in Knoxville for Halloween.
