Stopped by WickedWeed in Asheville recently. Beautiful restaurant. The actual brewery is located downstairs. You can sit right there and watch them brew. Awesome!!! As for their beers, the Porch Crawler was out of this world!!! I would absolutely love to brew a clone of this one. Raspberries, cherries and Serrano peppers.....what's not to love???? For those of you that are unfamiliar w/them or this beer (from http://www.wickedweedbrewing.com/beer/our-beers/):

Porch Crawler is a wonderful cool weather offering from our cocktail series of beers. Inspired by the classic Charleston punch that blends beer and spirits. Brewed with 352 pounds of cherries and raspberries, and finished with Serrano peppers this cocktail is fruit forward with a balanced touch of spice.

Any help/ideas/direction would be much appreciated! Thanks :)
