]]>One American city that any craft beer lover has to visit is Asheville, North Carolina, a mountain town scenically nestled in a valley of the Appalachian Mountains.
Asheville has a unique and care-free reputation, and this character extends to the city’s beer scene. Despite only having a population of 92,000, Asheville hosts tons of craft breweries. The city in and of itself boasts nearly 30, and the surrounding region hosts even more.
It’s easy to take a stroll around Asheville’s comfy downtown area and visit lots of the breweries without using a car. One of our favorite Asheville breweries (which is located within walking distance from the city center) is Burial Beer Company. This brewery produces unique ales and offers a comfortable outside beer garden to enjoy your drinks in.
Other Asheville breweries in the city center with a fantastic reputation include Wicked Weed (IPAs and sour beers galore), Hi-Wire Brewing (good beer in a chic, industrial-inspired space), and Bhramari Brewing Company (a gastropub with an eclectic beer selection).
Asheville is truly a paradise for any beer lover. Go, and go soon!

]]>Since Asheville is a mountain town, it is easy and encouraged to take advantage of the nature that surrounds the downtown. The famous Blue Ridge Parkway, which covers over 400 miles of road from North Carolina into Virginia has some truly spectacular lookouts that will blow you away. Simply take a drive, stop as many times as you please, and you can enjoy all that the mountains have to give without breaking a sweat.

However, if hiking peaks your interest, you have come to the right place. There are so many hiking trails of all levels within a relatively short drive from the city center, making it very accessible. One of the best hikes to do is the Black Balsam Knob. This trail is located right off of the Blue Ridge Parkway and is full of natural balds, or areas where there are no trees to obstruct your view of the mountains. The first bald is only half a mile from the parkway, but there are hikes that are 5-mile loops. Whatever level you can commit to, the Black Balsam Knob has a trail for you.
Downtown Asheville is full of interesting architecture and history. Stop by the Black Mountain College Museum, a tribute to the Black Mountain College which was an alternative arts school opened from 1933-1957. This college displays the art from the archives of the college, as well as artists who attended the school during its opening.
An unusual spot to check out downtown is the Woolworth’s Counter, which is located inside the Woolworth’s building, now called the Woolworth’s Walk. This historic building has retained its functional lunch counter and also added over 100 booths for local artists to sell anything from furniture to paintings.
Asheville is known for being “Beer Town USA”. It has more breweries per square mile than anywhere else in the country, including big companies such as Sierra Nevada and New Belgium. There is also a myriad of local breweries scattered throughout downtown, the River Arts District and the West Asheville neighborhood. Some of the best include the Wedge, Highland Brewing, Twin Leaf and Hi-Wire. Asheville is famous for hoppy IPA style beers, but you can truly find any type of beer you’d like at any of the breweries.
Asheville has a high level of cuisine mostly focused around using local sustainable products. One of the best places to go is Cucina 24, an authentic but modern Italian restaurant that uses fresh ingredients to create unbelievably delicious dishes. Another incredible choice is Curate, a tapas restaurant that is an accurately genuine tribute to Spanish cuisine.
