I had a salty Gose at Wicked Weed that was quite salty, not particularly sour but it was salty, also it had a lot of salt in it. Interesting, but not something I really want to drink. Had a couple very good craft ciders but I do not remember where.
I’ve got nothing to add for a family trip to Asheville, some great food venues as mentioned. For adults, loved the art deco architecture, Art museum is great. Asheville has a well established glass blowing culture and there are a couple of excellent glass art studios. Pretty cool town.
