There are many phenomena associated with cycling - leg shaving, weird suntan lines, saddle-area discomfort, among other things.
But there is one activity that bonds all of cycling regardless of how or what you ride - DRINKING BEER. And not just any beer, but beer with character - whatever character you desire to emulate.
This bond of these two great things led us to create our craft beer bike tour in Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville (AKA: 'Beer City USA') is the home of an incredible number of craft breweies in addition to being the east coast brewing center for Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, and Oskar Blues. The big craft brewers know a good place to brew when they see it. The best water, climate and culture to foster the growth of craft brewing in the eastern United States.
