    Hey South Atlantic BAs! My wife, her sister, sis' husband and myself will be in Asheville for Memorial Day weekend. Here's where we're planning on going, let me know if I'm missing anything or need to change it up:
    • 12 Bones for Lunch
    • Thirsty Monk beer bar for food and drinks Saturday night.
    • Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria for Sunday early lunch
    • Highland Brewing Company for tour and tasting during the day along with Wedge Brewing Company
    Has anyone heard anything about Asheville Beer week? We'll be in the Greenville, SC area for some time before this. Should we hit up a bottle shop in Asheville as well? If so, which one?

    Appalachian Vintner. No question.
    And no, I wouldn't change anything up. You're on the right track. Only.... When were you planning on hitting 12 bones? They are mon-fri. Lunch only.

    Assuming you were wanting 12 bones for lunch on saturday, so I would hit up Sunny Point cafe on Haywood instead, or Universal Joint also on Haywood.

    Ahhh didn't know 12 Bones was Mon-Fri only. Are those other places you listed BBQ joints?

    No they are not. Don't have BBQ in Asheville if it isn't 12 Bones. It's all mediocre at best.

    12 bones isn't open at night. I think the second location is open on saturday. I would try to work in a visit to Pisgah.

    Ok thanks. Need to investigate a little more I guess. Probably will try and do 12 Bones for lunch Friday. Thanks for the help.

    Note- When you're at the Monk, you're about a 3-minute walk from Asheville Brewing Co. I dig the vibe at that place. Pretty good food, too.

    When are y'all gonna be in Greenville? Need any tips for when you're down here, too?

    My dad lives in Greenville, so I'm much more seasoned for there. Thanks though!
