Thanks to our own Tom Sullivan, who thankfully for us Hooligans and the local beer economy, is at the right place at the right time.

The great Dennis Hopper died yesterday. For more than a half a century, he blazed a wild trail…from Rebel Without A Cause to Easy Rider to Blue Velvet. He will be very missed.
Cheers, Asheville!

For the second year in a row, Asheville has captured the highly-coveted “Beer City USA” crown. Started by The Charlotte Examiner’s Charlie Papazian last year, the online poll produced 7,389 votes for Asheville compared with a mere 6,565 for the second-place winner, Portland.
On Papazian’s website, he says “While Portland, Oregon organized a healthy challenge against the western North Carolina city of Asheville, in the end the relentless craft beer enthusiasm for Asheville won out.”
Barley’s Taproom will hold a special 5:30 pm toast tonight marking the win. All local pints will be only $3.

Today is the birthday of electronic music pioneer and multiple Grammy Award winner Robert Moog. Moog moved to the Asheville area in 1978, and after some years consulting and teaching at UNC-Asheville, Moog began making electronic musical instruments in 1994. The first instruments were released under the name Big Briar and then in May of 2002, as Moog Music. Dr. Moog passed away in 2005 at age 71.
Moog Music has announced that they are moving their operations downtown to 170 Broadway, just south of the Dripolator.
Happy Birthday, Bob Moog!

Downfall
Posted by: | CommentsI found this gem while poking around the internet yesterday. I’m bound to offend some of my friends by posting it (sorry, Erika), but it’s just too damn funny not to share.
