Asheville Brews Cruise is perhaps the most unique way to savor the city's brewing scene. Beer lovers simply climb aboard a comfortable van, and begin a journey to three of the city's seven breweries. Along the way, they learn how Asheville became such a lively brewing city. At the first stop, there's a detailed tour and time for samples. And then, it's on to the next brewery for an overview of their beer and brewing style while enjoying more generous beer samples. The final stop also includes beer samples and the opportunity to dine. The tour costs include trip and beer samples.
