America's Best Beer Cities... Where's Asheville?

Esquire recently published its list of America's 7 Best Beer Cities and I'm stumped because Beer City, USA (AKA Asheville, NC) is not on the list.

Asheville, NC won Draft Magazines title of Beer City, USA in 2010 not only for its vast amounts of flavorful beer, but also for the degree to which beer culture inspires the local flair of the city.

So... kudos to Esquire (and any other publication) for spreading the word on this wonderful world of beer culture. We are a community of people inspired by extraordinarily unordinary ales... and Asheville has a lot of that.

Cheers!
