Description:

Touring/Sampling: Catawba, Twin Leaf, Hi-Wire and French Broad River Brewery.

This tour meets in Pack Square at the Zebulon Vance Memorial, which is in the heart of downtown Asheville at the intersection of Patton Avenue and Biltmore Avenue, at 3:00 PM. From there it is a short ride to the South Slope and our first stop Catawba Brewing. Since 1999, Catawba has produced exceptional flagship styles such as their Firewater IPA and seasonals like the King Don's Pumpkin Ale. With a variety of ales on tap everyday, it's easy to see why Catawba appeals to all beer drinkers. Our second stop is Twin Leaf Brewery which keeps regulars coming back for favorites such as the 144 (Code Name: Juicy Fruit), an IPA known for its bright citrus hop aroma. Along with the 144, Twin Leaf offers a wide selection of house beers including the Dark Matter Oatmeal Stout and the White Noise Belgian Wit among others. After Twin Leaf we will leave the South Slope and head down into the Historic Biltmore Village to tour Hi-Wire's large scale production brewhouse known as the Big Top. This circus themed brewery makes a true year round lager as well as a large variety of ales such as the Prime Time Pale. Hi-Wire has a bottling line and conveniently packages their beer in 6 packs for wide distribution. The last brewery of the tour is French Broad River which is one of the oldest breweries in the city. French Broad River Brewery offers World beers with Asheville style such as a German Kolsch, English ESB, American West Coast IPA and the Wee Heavy-Er Scottish Ale. The tour will end with drop off back downtown at the Vance Memorial where you'll have the rest of Beer City at your fingertips!
