Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Pisgah Brewery

I love a tall bottle of beer, especially on a hot summer day.  I have enjoyed the fruits of many micro-breweries, but am not an aficionado.  So I do order locally brewed beer with dinner if it's available, but can't tell you much about Asheville's fame as far as best beers in the country.  But the rumor is that it might just have them.

One close by brewery is Pisgah Brewery.  I think it's a hidden gem.

The best landmark coming from Asheville on Old Rte. 70 east to Black Mountain, is this small church right after the signal light at North Fork Rd.

See that little blue sign, and then the larger white one?  On the top of the white one is Pisgah's sign.


Yes it's an industrial park.  Most of us would turn around about here.  But remember how thirsty you are?

So you drive on down to the parking lot, and there it is on the right, tucked into the huge building.

After you've enjoyed your tasty beer, this is a better (?) view of the Pisgah sign.

If you were coming from Black Mountain, this is the only clue you would get...and probably you would pass right by, turn around and come back.  After all, the selection of brews is calling you!

Quote for the day:


It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes," but of whether you take the gifts you have -- they are plenteous -- and share them with all the world.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
