3 Best Day Trips from Charlotte
"This is an anchor of the Asheville beer scene, so it's a great place to begin your North Carolina beer education. Bring your beer nerds, your buddies, your book club to sip and relax. There's room to chat, you're not going to be rushed because they need your table, and there's so much to try. It's all about beer, of course, and the iconic brews for the brand include the Gaelic Ale, a red ale, and a Rising Haze IPA, but exciting releases range from the Strawberry Milkshake IPA to a Czech Pilsner named Angelico. If you'd like a sample sip or two, the bar staff is friendly and will oblige. This is an independent, female-run company, and the staff reflects that spirit. The company invests in the community, and the staff seems happy working, busy, efficient, and always moving to pour beer, cash out folks, or clean." - Stephanie Burt
