Thursday Plans

Today, I booked us on the Asheville Brewery Tour which meets at Brahmari Brew House on South Lexington Street and visits four of the many microbreweries that have sprung up in and around Asheville. The first, of what was to become Brewery Central, appeared in 1994 while the other relative newcomers followed with the boom in specialty beers about 5 years ago. I never took into account that it was for Thursday, March 17th.

Also today, Ranger Nora gave us a pair of admission tickets to the Biltmore Estate and a 20% off coupon for souvenirs and dining. She explained she is a season pass holder which entitles her to gift two admission tickets to family or friends. She set them aside meaning to give them to family members visiting from out of town but plans changed, people got busy and suddenly, it’s March 16th . The tickets are only good through March 18th . She had even considered driving to the estate and handing them out in the parking lot. Admission to the estate is $60.00 per person. I’m seeing a trip to Asheville in our very near future.
