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. Willis Page PLEASE PICK ASHVILLE, NC.

Philly sells more Belgian and Belgian-style beers than any other city in the US. That's leaving out the mass produced, yellow fizzy crap like Stella. 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. Philadelphia would be the natural fit for New Belgium Brewery.

But NC would be the ultimate cool spot!!! Favoritism? Not exactly, I'm just rooting for my home base- The Carolinas!!

I do not understand why so much emphasis on Philadelphia as a great beer town. Asheville has been voted "Beer City USA" 3 years running. We have more per capita craft breweries than anywhere. We have all the advantages for potential brewers without "big city" attitude. Beer culture is alive and thriving here, as droves of visitors who come for our festivals will attest. To simply say that Asheville "a foothills city in far western North Carolina, is also being considered" is underwhelming by comparison.

Come to NC!!! Asheville would be great, but how about Fayetteville NC/Ft Bragg. The craft brewers are selling a lot of beer here. Even have a couple brew houses and a few excellent craft brew stores. Military town with a huge beer budget! Contact the chamber of commerce. Still gonna keep drinking your beer, love it. 1554/hoptober golden ale/2 below ale/somersault/mighty arrow/fat tire..yes I drank them all. I beg of you to Please!!! Come to NC!!!
