My sister in law will be in asheville next week and is willing to bring me something back (only want stuff from asheville area and then willing to expand to north carolina). what should i ask for that it not to expensive or a hard find. bottles or a growler.
IMO Green Man, then I'd definitely expand to Olde Hickory, then Foothills. Actually OH and Foothills is much better.
Have your sister go to Appalachian Vintners on Biltmore Avenue. They have lots of local beers in bottle and a growler station. I was just in Asheville over Memorial Day and really enjoyed drinking Green Man, French Broad, and Highland. I did bring home some Foothills and Olde Hickory bottles as well. Aslo, the Ingles on Tunnel Road, surprisingly, has a nice beer selection including some pre-filled growlers. Cheers.
No place in NC really has a "growler station." The only places I've ever seen growlers filled are at the breweries themselves. I think there's a law that requires beers be filled in that brewery's growlers. Beyond that, you just have to get pre-sealed ones from beer stores.
