Visiting Asheville for Brewgrass

Barely a modicum of "research" in this forum would yield endless strings answering the "What should I do in Asheville?" question.

 

Those beers that you mentioned in the OP shouldnt be too hard to find. NODA is sometimes hit or miss in Asheville but their distribution is getting better. Not sure if Woot stout is still available there. Its still on the selves here in SC so you might have a descent shot, same thing goes form Bomb. App Vintner is definitely my favorite bottle shop in Asheville, but bruisin ales is also very good (although much smaller) and it is located in the middle of downtown. Let me know if you can't find some of the beers youre looking for and I can get them for you in SC no problem. Hope this helps. Cheers!

 

Tasty Beverage has a downtown location now. It's kinda across the street from the Wicked Weed Funkatorium. Really good selection.

 

Buxton Hall has cans of Westbrook Gose you can buy with your food. The food is pretty good and when I was in town this was the only place I found that had WG at the time.

 

Appalachian Vintner and Tasty would be my picks for beer stores.. both have beer on tap so you can drink and shop... both have tap lists online which are usually current.

Some recent releases that might still be available this weekend:
Burial released some cans this week... Gang of Blades DIPA (only at taproom, might be gone by the weekend) and Scythe Rye IPA (taproom, also saw some at Tasty yesterday). I think there might be some Bolo Coconut Brown around town as well. And the taproom may also still have some bottles of Adoration of the Mystic Lamb Session Brett available, not positive.

Birdsong Wake Up Porter is around, saw some at Tasty yesterday.

Hi-wire Good Vibes Fresh Hop DIPA is around at some local stores

 

Grab any big beer from Olde Hickory, Event Horizon, Imperial Stout, Lindley Park, Dread God, Wavel Gunn, Irish Walker... can't go wrong and they should be at most shops.

As everybody has said forever, Burial is a must.

 

Burial is a must stop. As of the 9th they still had Bolo in cans. It's DELICIOUS! Def took a 4 pack home with me.

 

Well my trip to Buxton Hall on Friday just got better.

 

Appalachian Vintner kills it. Their taplist is amazing and they always seem to put on some gems during beer events.

 

I'm trying to avoid starting yet another thread about Asheville, so I figure I'd just bump the most recent one.

I'll be in town on October 10-11 for the Sigur Ros show. Are there any places dt open late on a Monday night? Preferably past midnight? Thanks in advance.

 

Asheville Brewing Co closes at midnight on Mondays, as does Thirsty Monk. Jack of the Wood (across the street from Thirsty Monk) is open until 0100. Most other stuff tends to close at 10 pm on weeknights.

 

Totally forgot about Jack of the Wood, that should be perfect. Thanks for the help!
