Episode 32: Asheville, NC- Featuring Anne Fitten Glenn & Mike Semenec

Heading back to North Carolina, Brewery Travels takes on a top beer destination in Asheville! Joining Joel are two amazing guests: Anne Fitten Glenn, who has written two books on beer in and around Asheville and spent many years covering the scene, and Mike Semenec, one of the Co-founders of DSSOLVR. They discuss how Asheville became a brewery hub, why national brands Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, and Oskar Blues opened locations in the area, why South Slope is so trendy, and much more! You can follow Anne Fitten Glenn on Twitter and Instagram: @brewgasm and check out her books: “Asheville Beer: An Intoxicating History of Mountain Brewing” and “Western North Carolina Beer: A Mountain Brew History” You can follow Mike Semenec on Instagram: @death_shakes and Dssolvr on Instagram: @dssolvr  Joel has visited over 900 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home.  From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!
