Asheville Brewery Crawl Review
Asheville branded itself “Beer City USA” for good reason: this mountain town of under 100,000 has one of the highest counts of breweries per capita in the country, and the big West Coast names (Sierra Nevada, New Belgium) built their East Coast operations right here because of the clean mountain water. You can walk the South Slope district and hit a half-dozen taprooms in an afternoon, or ride out to the big riverside breweries. It’s the perfect cap to a mountain trip — and the reason to book a hotel downtown and leave the car parked.
