Asheville and Portland OR have been in competeition for the beer city of the US for years, and I think we're on top this year. It's also fun to take a tour of the larger breweries, but many micro breweries have a bar right by the vats!

Perhaps they have a dried powder mix now. Meanwhile I am proud to report we have over 16 small breweries in our small city of Asheville, NC.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-58321883565056102062015-07-18T23:41:19.440+01:002015-07-18T23:41:19.440+01:00If that was indeed Burton's High Street, then ...If that was indeed Burton's High Street, then it won't be too far from where my ggg-grandmother was arrested for stealing some meat and clothing in 1850. As an epileptic, and a widow with a young son (my gg-grandfather), she was treated leniently, and after a few weeks in gaol was sent to the Ashby workhouse, where spent the rest of her short, sad life.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-83650396622547572372015-07-18T23:40:18.238+01:002015-07-18T23:40:18.238+01:00Where I live in California small breweries are pop...Where I live in California small breweries are popping up; we even have one we can walk to where they make and sell the beer. I like to see this trend and it goes nicely with our local farmers markets.

My local Kroger has an amazing cheese shop - you can even do a tasting. Wine shop - tastings every Saturday. Craft beers are on the rise here in the US and local eateries pride themselves on providing a big selection.
