Restaurants and Breweries - Asheville

Wife and I are going in a couple weeks. We went once in 2016 and loved it, going back and hitting some different places. Any recommendations, or thoughts on the planned stops?
Restaurants/Activities
Day 1 - Biltmore. Doing the house tour, rooftop tour, and bike ride around the grounds. Dinner @ Edison @ Omni Grove Park Inn
Day 2 - Getting a early morning start down the blue ridge parkway. Plan to make our way to Sliding Rock, Bridal Veil Falls, Triple Falls, Hooker Falls, and Looking Glass Falls and do some hiking. Plan to circle around to the east on our way back and hit Turgua farmhouse brewery on our way back to the hotel. Dinner at Red Stag Grill
Day 3 - Try to get brunch at sunny point cafe or lunch at 12 bones. Kayaking after lunch. Dinner @ Jetti Rae's Oyster House.
Day 4 (last day) - Zipline in the morning, then breweries all day until a late dinner at forestry camp
.
I like all the choices but i'm thinking i'm eating the same type of food every night. Was thinking of subbing Red Ginger in for either red stag or bouchon.
Breweries - I am going to do my best to hit these:
- Archetype - They do a lot of mixed fermentation. Looks like my place
- Turgua - Just outside asheville. Farmhouse brewery
- White Labs - Feel like i'd be remiss if i didn't hit white labs, being a homebrewer
- Funkatorium - Where my love of sour/mixed ferm beer started. Will definitely go back and probably drop a bit of cash bringing back some bottles
- Brouwerij Cursus Keme - Found this one just doing a google search for breweries in the area. Small, on the river, but looks interesting.
- Zillicoah - Another mixed ferm/sour beer location. Heard good things
- Wedge, Dssolvr, Bhramari, Hi-Wire, Eurisko, Catawba
- Burial - Already going to forestry camp for dinner. May just pop in for a quick pint.
- Sierra Nevada/New Belgium - Not sure if we'll have time for either of these 2. SN was great last time, but they aren't doing tours right now, and we have a bunch of activities planned that would preclude us from being there for a couple hours in any given day.

I stopped at 12 Bones last trip, but the SOUTH location out by Sierra Nevada, and both the BBQ and beer were excellent.
DSSOLVR is worth your time. I stopped at Archetype as well and enjoyed it, but I was several beers in by that point. Bhramari is probably my favorite spot currently.
The Whale Craft Beer Collective is also a great spot to try various beers with excellent food next door.

Been here since Monday. They’re back mask stupid. Bummer

Bhramari is a solid brewery as well

Any good bottle shops? They used to have a boxing themed one that closed down. Need somewhere to pick up some 4 packs for our outdoor excursions.

Do Curate and/or Rhubarb meals. Red Ginger & Chai Pani were both very good for non-American, and I enjoyed Mela for more traditional Indian as well.
Antidote next to Funkatorium is an awesome cocktail spot if some get tired of beer.

Weinhaus downtown has a good selection. Bruisin Ales was the best but it closed.

I didn't stop at any the last few trips. I did get some 12 Bones beers packaged though.

That's the one I used to visit.

I really liked their beer when I went. The brewery itself wasn't a location that I'd recommend spending a chunk of time at though unless it's changed in the last 3 yrs.

Under the radar, but I actually really liked Hillman Brewery on Sweeten Creek.
Highland Brewery is an original and a great spot, imo.

Damn, really? I’m going back in a few weeks.
We went the day their mask mandate originally ended, and nobody was still masking. This sucks.

Yea it was fine a moth or so ago. Now it’s mask naziism as bad as it was a year ago. I had the audacity to leave my seat at the bar and walk to the bathroom unmasked at the yacht club last night. You would have thought car bombed a day care by the fat bitch bartender’s reaction. No bueno.

Definitely pop into Hi-Wire. They had some fantastic tap-only stouts and funky sours when I went this past summer.

Looks like the order ends 10/29. Hopefully they end it there.
Screw wearing masks now. This shite is over

I didn't wear one the entire time I was in BR last weekend. frick all that.
Posted on 10/13/21 at 2:15 pm to LSUBoo
I dont wear one anywhere. Even my Asian restaurants don't give a shite.
Last place that asked me at the door to wear one was mid city beer garden. An outdoor bar. Lol

Looking Glass Falls hike is long (~3 miles) but awesome views. Definitely worth it, IMO.
Make sure you hit Curate restaurant. It is expensive but a great time.

You must be thinking of Looking Glass Rock. It's a nice hike at the end, but a good and not so scenic uphill trek getting there.
The Looking Glass falls are right off the highway on the way there, though. Not a hike at all.
Stop and grab a beer at Ecusta just before you go into the forest there and/or when you come out after the hike. It's not some of the cutting edge stuff you will get in Asheville, but they are nice folks.
My serial food board downvoter is the hardest working man on Tigerdroppings. No post is too innocuous to deter his immediate action.
