Last time I ventured across the state line, a couple years ago, there were maybe 8 good sized breweries in Asheville. New Belgium and Sierra Nevada were still in the planning stages. Today there are around 20 with another dozen in surrounding towns. I have visited at least 6 of the original 8 and found them all worthwhile. Highland was tops in my book - don't miss if you visit AVL. New Belgium is scheduled to open in late 2015. Ashville Brewing and French Broad have a great vibe. Look into the Brews Cruise if you'd like someone else to do the driving. And do not miss the Thirsty Monk bars which has 100% craft brew upstairs and 100% Belgian ales downstairs. And try to behave yourself while there. I certainly did not.

They are transitioning over to cans, which I definitely applaud.

I worry that you would get carried away in a crowd of fellow beer-lovers as I have been known to do. At least the Brews Cruise gets you back to your starting point. What you do after that is up to you. I should have gone to my hotel room instead of hitting one more bar.

Brewhouse Pilsner. Not a bad "value" brand. Been a tough month...

I stopped at Target on the way home last night for a few staples. I passed an endcap in the food section and there was a 12 pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with a red close out sticker priced under $12. I checked the date - it was brewed in late February 2015. I have no idea why it was marked down. It's now in the beer fridge. ^

I pulled one out and drank it last night. I failed to read the small print and was shocked when I poured this dark dark beer into my glass. Turns out it's a stout. Quite delicious, a little on the sweet side like all their beers.
