Going TDY there in early November...anyone know of any beer hot spots to hang out at?
Glibbidy said:Barley's Taproom in Asheville is a cool place to hang out. It's not brewpub, however it has great pizza and and an unfriggin believable tap selection!
Dude said:Found out we get a private tour at the Biltmore Winery too...that should be fun.
I thought we were staying within walking distance of some of these places...not the case. Looks like we are cabbing it.
Dude said:Well, I didn't get to near as many "brewpubs" as I wanted to, but we sampled Asheville quite a bit. Barley's is great. Awesome selection. I gorged on Highland Stout. We went to a bunch of places--some I can't even remember. Great Wings at Wild Wings, Great reuben at "Jack of teh Wood". Went to some Irish pub that ran out of freaking Guinness. WTF?
We went to a freaking awesom place called "The New French Bar" every night we were there. It wasn't a "beer" place by any means, just fun. They had an IPA there that was so killer it wasn't even funny. I think it was by Green King or something like that. Semi local brewery IIRC.
The Biltomre wine tour was awesome. I came back with 90 bucks worth of pretty awesome wine. I do have a "rant" about that place though. For another time.
The town is killer. We walked everywhere. It reminded me a lot of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, but a little more "granola" if you know what I mean.
It was a total blast of a week. My liver still hurts.
