The Guys find themselves in the mountains of North Carolina, in a fantastic town that many people are calling Beer City USA.

Tony Kiss of the Asheville Citizen-Times leads The Guys on a brief tour of the Craft Beer in Asheville which has become an important part of the Urban Renewal that keeps this town cool, creative and weird (in the best possible way). Enjoy!
