There's more breweries downtown just can't think of them at the moment as I'm hungover, solid 6-7 that are walking distance downtown. If you need some solid breakfast try biscuit head on the side of Asheville by the hospital the one downtown is always packed or for lunch go to Tepulo Honey Cafe

A year ago I went to four breweries in a single day. We went to the wedge, wicked weed, green man, and LAB. The wedge was really cool and seems to be popular with the younger crowd. You've got a food truck and corn hole outside near the tracks. Wicked weed and greenman were both very good as well but my fav beer of the day was from LAB. It was a seasonal pumpkin porter.

We weren't a part of any beer tour group. We pretty much just drove up one day and called cabs when we were ready for the next spot. I'd recommend going to breweries that sell food around eating time and hitting the others in between. You can be good and drunk before you leave the first stop so you have to pace yourself like you would at a beer festival.

As the Asheville resident I will steer you to the promised land...

 

The South Slope (Right Downtown) has 7 breweries in a 2 block radius each around 2-3 minutes apart. Start at Catawba and then check out Twin Leaf, Wicked Weed's Funkatorium, Green Man, and Burial Beer Co. 

 

If you have time, head to Mills River to check out the new Sierra Nevada brewery. Its mind blowing and they have an incredible beer selection in the Tap Room. 

 

Are you staying in downtown?

I can attest that the new Sierra Nevada Brewery is quite amazing. I haven't yet been in a tourist capacity but I sold some product and had to oversee it's installation there just before they opened. I was told that they would have live music venues as well as tours and tastings. Does anyone know if these music venues have been opened and any events planned?

I'm not sure of the completion date but New Belgium is also building their East coast brewery in Asheville. I expect it'll be just as impressive as Sierra Nevada's.

Someone else mentioned LAB and it is a awesome gastropub. The beer selection is great with equally quality food. Apparently their beef is home grown on a pasture just a couple mile outside the downtown area.

new sierra nevada is absolutely beautiful

 

finally made it to wicked weed's funkatorium the other night... if you like sour beers at all, it's awesome

 

go to the original asheville brewing and catch a $3 movie with pizza and beer

 

catawba is always good... go to the biltmore village tasting room and then you can hit french broad right down the block

 

check out jack of the wood for some green man and potentially some great live music

 

also hit hi-wire (one of my personal favorites) and ben's tune up

its kind of crazy for us locals now... my wife and i get asked all the time what our favorites are, we list off a half dozen and then 30 minutes later after the person asking is gone, we think of another half dozen we should have suggested as well (or instead)

 

bad problem to have... so much good beer, it's hard to rattle everything off people should try all off the top of your head

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
