We left Walmart and drove to Fletcher, North Carolina, near Asheville. We got a site at a really pretty Passport America park on a little lake. We made an appointment with a local Chevy dealer to get the Silverado’s oil changed on Thursday morning. We found a barber shop and Jim got a badly needed haircut. The barber cut it very short so it should last a few months.
We drove into Asheville and went to four brewpubs. Ashville Brewing had a really good beer called Fire Escape. It was an ESB with jalapeno added. We went to Lab Brewing ( Lexington Avenue Brewing) and had a beer and a really good fresh baked pretzel with beer cheese sauce and mustard sauce. This brewery won a bronze medal from the GABF for their Brown Porter this year. They were out of it so we didn’t get to try it. The brewer told us he talked to the St. Arnold people at the airport while leaving Denver. We then went to Green Man Brewery, had a beer and talked to a couple that were home brewers from Tampa, Florida. They had previously lived in San Antonio, Texas. Then we went to Wedge Brewing, had a beer and talked to a man who worked for the city of Ashville. He was very knowledgeable about the Ashville brewing scene. There are four brewpubs and five microbreweries in this town of about 75,000 people.
