Asheville IS Beer City USA for the third year in a row.

North Carolina boasts more craft breweries than any state in the American South, with 21 brewpubs and 28 production breweries statewide. If you’re in North Carolina, you’re probably just a few miles from a great craft beer.

As a matter of fact, North Carolina holds its own amongst world-class beers. North Carolina breweries have taken home more medals from the World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival than any other Southern state in recent years.

Come on down to a great state to a great area with a great workforce, great people, a great way of life and a lower cost of living with great distribution channels up and down the east cost!

All roads to an around Ashville lead to GREAT things.

Philly is, without a doubt, the most beer savvy town in the US. Dozens of award winning breweries, the best collection of real beer bars in the US, and absolutely the best beer educated customers in the US.

Philly started this whole “Beer Week” movement. Philly held the first Beer Week and it remains the best.

Both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were written over a few pints of ale in Philadelphia pubs. Philly brewed the first lager in the US. We even have a neighborhood name “Brewery Town”. Beer has always been part of Philadelphia’s culture. We’ve been into beer before beer was cool.

I went to the Beer City USA website and noticed that it is a public vote site. The largest group of voters came from, guess where…North Carolina. Anyone can win by stuffing the ballot box.

Kim Jordan – To paraphrase Field of Dreams: If you build it, we will drink it.

See you in Philly.

The Asheville brewing community is a group of wonderful people and I consider myself lucky that it’s just 6 hours away.

And I’m closer to Asheville – I don’t want to drive to Philadelphia.
