NEW IMPORT FOR OREGON BEER FANS

Wicked Weed, Asheville, NC, for Oregon beer fans.

Name a better brand for Oregon beer fans than Wicked Weed.

All things considered, it’s perfect.

To make it even better, Wicked Weed Brewing makes great beer, one in particular.

You won’t turn into one, but Freak of Nature rises to the top of my road beer trip.

I’ll be honest here, every time I leave the house has a chance of being a road beer trip.

Chugging from Tennessee through North Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, DC has been a good one.

The champion has been found, crowned, and downed.

Freak of Nature sounds right

This isn’t your dad’s freakie beer made in a plastic carboy, or yours.

Wicked Weed throws the challenge beer of all challenge beers and comes out on top.

All it takes is the right flavor, right light, and right brand.

Wicked Weed even sounds Oregon, except they’re calling hops the wicked weed.

In Oregon, hops are wicked weed number two, and it’s no secret.

The only thing better than outstanding beer is a table of equally fine food.

Now this ain’t no fine dining foo foo, it’s southern goodness all in one place.

Shrimp and grits, and collared greens, all day long brothers and sisters.

We all agree body shaming is a weak take on anyone, except yourself, and even that’s a bad idea, but if extra poundage comes with this package, I’ll lift it.

Southern pub grub

Maybe it’s not a good idea to tell a waitress you’re from Portland, Oregon and you’re here to debunk the myth of Portland of the East Coast in Asheville.

They don’t care, but they will school you on how to eat peanuts boiled in Freak of Nature.

“You don’t eat the shell. It’s slippery, but open those peanuts up the best you can. It’s a southern thing and I love them.”

Was I supposed to share? Oregon beer fans need an answer.

Dear Wicked Weed, you are invited to export your brew to Oregon.

Now would be a good time.
