Fiesta de Justicia: A
Fundraiser for Justice
Asheville civil rights attorney Frank
Goldsmith and his two colleagues have
been providing legal representation to
Guantanamo detainees to ensure they receive
fair treatment.
Thursday, March 3, from 6 to 10 p.m.
these attorneys will speak about their work
at at Battery Park Ballroom 1 Battle Square
in Asheville.
For the last three years, these attorneys
have represented, pro bono — without
charge, five Guantanamo detainees and have
absorbed over $75,000 in costs for travel,
experts, translators, investigators, and other
necessary expenses. Contributions will help
offset only the out-of-pocket expenses and
will not pay the attorneys for their time.
The suggested contribution of $20 is tax-
deductible, and your check may be made
out to NCAJ Foundation with Fiesta in the
memo line, and either delivered to Frank
Goldsmith at the March 3 event or mailed
directly to:

As a rule I generally love IPAs. This beer is no
exception. Green Man has taken the classic India
Pale Ale and created a well balanced though
slightly Americanized IPA. The IPA was created
in Britain before refrigeration and is designed
to survive the long voyage to India.
This was accomplished by adding a larger
amount of hops which contain a large amount
of antibacterial agents. As a more American
IPA this beer has a lighter hop bill and a more
drinkable quality.
The pour of this beer is one of its best features;
a light amber color with a medium eggshell
head that sticks around for a long time. I’ve also
had this on cask and it can only get better with
the creamy texture of a hand pulled beer The
initial smell doesn’t produce much other than
very slight hops and an earthy aroma typical of
Green Man beers.
I normally expect that an IPA, especially when
dry hopped, will have a high IBU. This is not the
case with Green Man’s IPA. It very will balanced
with grain bill that adds a sweetness and a hop
bill that provides the right amount of bitterness.
Thats not to say that it doesn’t swing toward the
bitter side, with the addition of some noble hops,
it is just not as overpowering as I find Dogfish
Head’s 60 or 90 Minute IPA.
The mouth feel of the beer is one of light
Terms you should know about beer:
Growler - a half gallon jug of beer, you can
buy these at Poppies or (for a much better
price) clean after use and refill at a brewery.
Cask serving - a had pulled beer, the beer is
pumped through a pipe using the same type
of action as a hand water pump.
IBU - International Bittering Units, directly
related to the amount of hops and their bitter
properties, this is often used to describe a
beer’s flavor profile. Higher IBU=More bitter
beer.
Head - The “foam” created from pouring. It
is generally said that good beer gives good
head. This is deceiving since some great
beers, due to high ABV, high hop content or
yeast content don’t retain their head due to
lack of the liquid’s tension.
Gravity - The change in gravity measured at
the beginning and end of brewing determine
the ABV, this is important because it it effects
the final taste, texture and alcohol content
of the beer.
carbonation, the slight metallic finish of a well
hopped beer and a crisp, refreshing coolness. I
personally can drink this beer all night, though
I know that most people aren’t as crazy about
IPAs as I am.
If you get a chance to try this beer on tap jump
at it. I have had the Growler and it is lacking
the full mouth feel and the head that add a lot
to this beer
If you’re in Asheville and they have it on cask,
call me, because this is the best cask beer I’ve
had this side of the Mississippi.
What do students want in BC's next president?
“We need a president
that is focused on
the arts, who can
help rebuild the
funding for the arts.
With the continuing
loss of professors
and programs we're
not providing a solid
education for our
students.”
Ryan Riordan
Senior
“I think the president
should be someone
who knows what a
small college feels
like, but still wants to
see the college grow
in terms of student
numbers, programs,
and academically. Also
it’s important to help
put BC on the map.”
Tiffen Tapia
Senior
“I’d like to see the
president bring BC back
to its core values, such
as sustainability. We
need an environmental
steward who can
change the direction
we are heading, back
to the way we used
to be.”
Dan Modahl
Sophomore
