Reagan Kornegay, bartender at Barley’s Taproom, hoists a frosty pint of French Broad Rye Hopper. Barley’s will hold a special 5:30 p.m. toast tonight marking Asheville’s win of the coveted “Beer City USA” crown for the second year in a row and they’ll offer $3 pints of all its local brews in celebration of the win.

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Jack of the Wood will be joining the fun with $3 pints of its GreenMan Ales, and Pack’s Tavern will be serving up local brews for $2 a pint. Looks like it’s gonna be a long evening.
I guess the local police will be out looking for a lot of people tonight.
