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

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
