Its kinda funny, I've made the pilgrimage to Asheville several times over the years, just never went on a beer trip. I'm gonna try to replicate the majority of the pub crawl. Unfortunately, Asheville Brewing supply is closest to me, so it'll have to do.
Last time I was at the Biltmore, it was 9 degrees, roads covered in ice, snow up to an elephants a*hole, so we basically ditched the house about halfway through the tour (whizzing cold inside) and spent the afternoon in the winery & at the bistro. I basically made laps in the parking lot trying to sober up enough to go home!! But the springtime with the azelas has to be the kittens mittens, thats really cool.
I will try out Jack of the wood. We're staying on Patton, so apparently were within walking distance of everything except the brew suppy & a few of the breweries.
I'm looking forward to this, last time we stayed out on tunnel road it it wasn't close enough to walk to anything. This time right down-town. The bier garden is in the same block as the motel, so I bet I know where I'll start & end the day.
thanks folks
