    Just go to Asheville and go to Wicked Weed. You wont regret it. Walk in the front door, turn to the left, and go downstairs, and set up camp. Upstairs in nice, but for some reason you cant get all the beer up there. They wont serve the wood aged and sour beers. You can get all the beer downstairs, and all the food, which is also wonderful. Pretty sure Batch 69 is long gone by now, I think it was a one-off but not sure. Also, call ahead before you go. One time I drove from the RDU area to Asheville on a whim. Got there, and they were out of The Freak. It was devastating. They've run out several times when friends have gone there.

    That wasn't easy. I wasn't sure about the Double Simcoe. I probably could swap that with 4 or 5 other beers and still be happy with the list.

    Wish I would've found this beer while I was in Phoenix all week, it sounds tasty. I left the state feeling sorry for the local options that you have to pick from.

    What I've tried thus far:

    Smuttynose Baltic Porter
    Blue Lobster Little Lobster on the Prairie
    Blue Lobster Life of Sundays
    Blue Lobster Excess is not Rebellion
    Blue Lobster Gold Claw

    Holding a Blue Lobster Celtic New Year and have a feeling it may enter this list once opened.

    Yeah, NH needs more variety.
