I am very lucky to live pretty close to Asheville, North Carolina – the rising beer capital of America . . . We loved getting this assignment from Garden & Gun magazine. I mean who doesn’t love touring breweries & restaurants and staying in nice hotels? I was really impressed with the young brewmasters and their enthusiasm for their craft. And even though I am gluten-intolerant, I admit I had a few sips of some beers they worked so hard on!
We’ve included photos from the Wicked Weed, the Wedge, and Highland Breweries but these are only a few of the 40 + craft breweries located in Asheville!
We stayed at the Grand Bohemian, a beautiful hotel with the rustic feeling of a European hunting lodge mixed with old world elegance. The have an excellent restaurant, a gallery & spa and have been named one of the best hotels by Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler!
