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

      At least Rivera got the Super Bowl, and then lost is because he refused to adjust.  Rod’s likely will never get to the Stanley Cup unless the team he coaches is stacked and can overcome Rods weird decisions making.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      We've literally seen him hop around the pocket to survey the field in multiple occurrences. Defenses have this on tape. Cam and QB's like him built the way he was height and strength wise could get by on those natural gifts in their prime. Bryce Young is unequivocally going to have to go above and beyond with his footwork in order to carve out not just a long career but an elite career worthy of a top overall draft selection. We should be able to wholeheartedly agree with one another on that. Intermediate sideline throws without placing the ball out of bounds where the receiver has to contort themselves or make an absurd acrobatic catch for it to be a completion. And yes developing a better chemistry in the deep passing game with his receivers to avoid miscues. Both areas will need to see improvement if the young offense is to develop the way we hope in 2025. And we don't necessarily need to be winning mind you. But development of the supporting cast requires this from Bryce. We have invested a ton of capital in the offensive line. We've invested heavily in WR. We've invested in our backfield. We've invested in TE. We've got a young up and coming offensive minded head coach. The expectation should be for our redzone efficiency to improve significantly. That is not just on Bryce Young. But at the end of the day it will always begin and end with him more often than not. It's always been that way and that's just the nature of the position in this league. And not for nothing but before we drafted Bryce Young nobody was going around here saying we need elite play across the board and top shelf coaching for him to be effective. His biggest selling point was his ability to succeed off script and make something out of nothing. We're certainly going to have to see that come to fruition. Now we wait.
