Asheville, N.C. -- home of...of...well, something cool, we imagine, but can't think of without going to Wikipedia -- tops the list.

The rankings were compiled by analyzing five factors:

  • Number of microbreweries and brewpubs
  • Number of microbreweries and brewpubs per 100,000 residents
  • Average Yelp score of breweries
  • Number of bars per 100,000 residents
  • Average price for a pint of domestic draught beer

When you combine this list with the one for cheapest cities for beer around the globe, you've got the makings of a won't-be-able-to-forget-but-too-drunk-to-remember road trip that will be the envy of all your drinking buddies.
