Asheville—also known as Beer City USA—has more breweries per capita than anywhere else in America.

So, we figure the best way to get acquainted with the area is a hangout at one of its fine breweries: Sierra Nevada Taproom & Restaurant, just a stone's throw from the airport in Fletcher, NC. Attendees here will be picking up their own tabs—we'll treat you to drinks a little bit later at the on-site reception when the party officially kicks off. But if you're local or just in town a little early and looking to meet some friendly founders, please drop by!
