Nice thing about Asheville is the small town is surrounded by breweries. I've been going down to Asheville every year for the past 3 years and my friends and I just go to tour around the breweries. We start at lexington brewery for lunch and a flight since the food there is amazing. We then walk to thirsty monk (basement has all Belgium beers), ABC and then Green Man. ABC makes Shiva which is a really good IPA and it's so popular they put it in cans now.
Pretty excited to go down this year with the pinball museum now open. Thanks for the write up!
