There is a brewery district a few blocks south of downtown with 7 or 8 breweries. You just walk from brewery to brewery all day, never more than a couple of blocks in between, and try them all. We did this about a month ago and it was a blast. You will be absolutely jack hammered by the end but it's a fun way to spend the day.
Sierra Nevada and Oskar Blues are not in this area of town unfortunately.

we went a few weeks ago
my favorite was wicked weed. definitely hang in the basement.
funkatorium was aweome.
burial is fantastic and probably my third favorite behind WW and funkatorium.
one world brweing has a cool atmosphere. it's under farm burger. they had a blue grass band playing that was legit.
thirsty monk has a nice local feel. go into their basement to enjoy the belgians. visit their rooftop bar for cocktails and great view.
asheville brewing co had some good beers and is worth the stop.
twin leaf brewing was surprisingly good. they have games (ping pong, etc) and several excellent beers (a mexican stout, peach kettle sour when we were there)
bhramari brewhouse was another one that was surprisingly good.
green man beers were meh. cool brewery though.
new belgium was meh. very clean but sterile-feeling. nothing unusual on tap there.
wedge was disappointing. wedge ipa is english style. not worth the drive to me but several here love it.
we didn't go out to sierra nevadea but i hear their food is good and the grounds are pretty.
there's a sake distillery (ben's tune up) which was a nice change of place
as far as food, my favorites were tupelo honey and the admiral. brunch at tupelo honey is killer. the admiral is in west asheville but is worth the trip.
black bird was solid.
barley's had decent pizza and a nice tap list.
farm burger was about what you'd expect but good.
didn't get to go to white duck taco.
eta: to anyone going in the future and focusing on beer, i highly recommend staying at the downtown inn. you have to call to get a room and won't find it on expedia, etc. it was very cheap and in the middle of the breweries. it is pretty much a motel but extremely clean.

We stayed there last year and I definitely agree with this. Great location downtown and the price is right, especially compared to nearby places.

Well, we already booked the country days inn and suites @ westgate in asheville. More in the medium range. But, according to google, everything is a short uber ride away. And we're driving there so we'll have a car to get around for our non-drinking expeditions.
