Two Nights, Two Events, Two Baseball Fields

August 15, 2007. This weekend, much of the action in Downtown Asheville will be on the field — the baseball fields, that is.

On Friday, a local beer store will host a beer sampling and appreciation course before the Asheville Tourists game at McCormick Field. On Saturday, Shindig on the Green continues its summer series on the outfield at Martin Luther King Park.

Bruisin Ales will hold Beer 101, an introduction to the basic styles of beer, the difference between hops and malts, and the correct pairing of glass shape with beer style. Nearly a dozen different beers will be on hand for sampling, and hors d’ouevres will be served. Tickets cost $25 and include admission to the game.

The next evening, Shindig on the Green will be held up the road. There are only three nights left in the weekly series, so grab a picnic blanket or some lawn chairs and come out for a relaxing evening. The music is always good, the sunset is always nice and the barbecue is delicious.
