New Belgium expanded from their Colorado roots when they opened up this brewery and distribution center recently. Situated on the bank of the French Broad River, the tasting room has a beautiful deck area and an impressive lineup of beers you can only get at the brewery. One of the best tours around, the company also is a great employer and the happy employees will prove it!

Tiny dive bar, total hipster haven, and just all around awesome. A $5 bourbon list that is always impressive, a shrine to Hank Williams, and an eclectic mix of wall decor that is too awesome and weird to be contrived. A favorite of mine, totally worth a drink or two. Sunday night features a legendary karaoke scene.

Park Style charcoal grills for you and your friends to grill up any food you bring with you (can't bring drinks), get there early and claim a grill and some picnic tables for your friends to celebrate another Saturday afternoon in WNC!

Not for the timid, this is a real deal small livestock and farm implement auction every Saturday morning. On the way towards Pisgah National Forest, Transylvania County Waterfalls, and the Natahala Outdoor Center...this is pure Americana at its finest! Goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, turkeys and ducks can all be auctioned in this old barn. Lots of camo overalls, chewing tobacco, and a auctioneer from another time! One of my favorite things you'll only see in southern appalachia.
