Charlie Papazian, President of the Brewers Association of America, and also known as the ‘Beer Examiner’ of The Examiner is currently running a poll through May 7th to the find the best beer city in the USA. Asheville is a strong 2nd to Portland, which all in all is pretty impressive. But I’d be severely disappointed if we didn’t pull out a win here. Go here and vote for Asheville as the Beer City, USA!

If for some reason you need more convincing about the kick-ass beers of Asheville, take the official tour itself!
