Don't drink beer? I can't believe I'm even deigning to respond...

Asheville is a hippie mountain town that is quickly becoming full of halfbacks and hipsters. If you're not into beer, local food, and outdoor activities, it likely wouldn't hold much interest for you. It really is a pretty town, with a very compact and walkable downtown.

I've never done the Biltmore or the zoo, as those really aren't my thing, but my wife and I have spent many a weekend bogarting a friend's spare room, and using it as a base for biking, kayaking, and the downing of many, many very good beers.
