Heading to Asheville, NC for a long weekend. Heard good things but never been. Any recs for food, beer, etc are appreciated. Also, any recs on where to watch the LSU game Saturday would be great!

TIA

if your going to the biltmore, cedrics tavern was very good. Fried pickles were the best I've ever had.

I've never really eaten anything upscale there. Charlotte Street Pub has great burgers. As far as beer, Highland has a really nice tasting room with live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. Altamont Brewing is a hole in the wall on Patton Ave...really laid back and I enjoyed the few beers I've had there...they also keep some from other brewers on tap. Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain makes my favorite APA in the world. You can probably find it in growlers or on tap at Barley's. If you want beer to take home, check Bruisin' Ales downtown.

ETA: Forgot what time of year it was. Do not leave Asheville without having drank your body weight in Highland Cold Mountain.

As far as beer goes...

Do not miss Wicked Weed Brewing... go downstairs to the tap room, they have 25 taps.

When the fiance' and I went we hit up all the breweries in the downtown area. Hi-Wire was one of my favorites after Wicked Weed. Also enjoyed Burial and Wedge brewing.

Asheville Brewing is also a pizza restaurant and Lexington Avenue Brewery is a brewpub so they might not be bad stops if you want food and beer.

We hit Green Man at the end of a day and didn't stay long, would go back though and give it a fair shake.

They all have tasting rooms, just check their websites for hours.
