Bars & Breweries
Asheville has consistently been named “Beer City, USA.” Supposedly this is because the water flowing from the mountains of the Pisgah National Forest is ideal for brewing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Here are some of our favorite spots: Highland Brewing - largest independent brewery in NC Hi-Wire Brewing, South Slope Burial Beer, South Slope (Forestry Camp location is cool too, just farther) Wicked Weed Funkatorium Terra Nova Brewing Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar - books and wine Thirsty Monk/ Top of the Monk - pre-prohibition-themed lounge.
