Bruisin’ Ales folks get tagged

Found this over at Brusin’ Ales blog. I was just looking to see if they had any Fat Tire. Sorry, guys!

Dear Ashehole*,

We sponsored Laugh Your Asheville Off because, well, who doesn’t like to laugh, and we wanted to try a new experiment in marketing, but more importantly, we wanted to have fun. It’s not often the Bruisin’ Ales staff gets a Friday night somewhere other than the store. While we were taking down our booth just before the end of show, you seemed coy, with your super-retro, RunDMC all-black Adidas get-up. You were upset we weren’t serving beer, just displaying it. You needed ice. You wanted a Sugar Mama’s cookie. (And likely, stole one, too.) As you lurked and theater employees caught on, we’re sure your staff-dumped cocktail was just enough to get those pesky larceny thoughts a-rollin’.

Just because you weren’t allowed inside the show, because, duh, you didn’t have a g*ddamn ticket, does not give you license to rummage through our goods. While I worried before (and during) the show about folks stealing from the beer display (thereby, only half-able to enjoy the show), little did I know that it was the handbag you were watching, Adidas Avenger. While I walked away for two f*cking minutes to put stuff in storage, you managed, in the presence of people, to unzip my purse, then unzip the bank bag and take all the cash. You are speedy, Adidas Avenger. So, while I partly blame myself for leaving it there, blinded by my utopian vision of Asheville, I can’t go without saying you are just a Class A Jerk.

BTW, here’s what Brusin’ Ales says about Fat Tire:

New Belgium is coming to North Carolina next year
Not sure how we missed this one, but Asheville Beer Blog ran into the owners of New Belgium Brewing on his birthday at The Thirsty Monk last week and they told him that NB’s brews are soon to make an appearance in North Carolina. They were just “checking out the scene.” Soon, as in next-year-soon. We are asked daily “Do you have Fat Tire?” Pretty soon, the answer will be “Yes. Yes we do.” Until then, you can get your Fat Tire over there in Tennessee.
