Bruisin’ Ales just got Pisgah Valdez in today. At close to 7%, it appears to be a “‘Tweener Stout,” halfway between an American Stout and an Imperial Stout. The beer, despite the brewery’s Earth-inspired low-key nature, has earned enough recognition on Beer Advocate to land it in the top 100 overall brews. A little more info on Pisgah can be found in our original announcement that NC could ship beers.

According to Julie, who runs Bruisin’ Ales, “Folks should follow the procedure listed on http://bruisin-ales.com/store.php and use the [email protected] address.” Just keep in mind that she posted this on her blog early today and the beer may very well not last past the weekend.
