Any of the New Belgium Brewing folks relocating to Asheville, N.C., as part of the company’s expansion might find a few things about the city that reminds them of Fort Collins.

They might miss the Rockies, but they’ll be living in the Blue Ridge Mountains, one the most scenic anywhere with incredible white-water rafting opportunities.

They might miss CSU, but they’ll have the University of North Carolina at Asheville, which lends a decidedly college-town feeling to the city.

They might miss telling friends and family they live in the “Napa Valley of Craft Breweries,” but they’ll be hanging out in “Beer City USA!”

And they even might miss our “420-friendly” crowd, but as the Asheville thread on marijuana.com noted, the place is “a stoner town.”

In fact, on most days, anyone walking through downtown Asheville will notice at least three things: the sound of wind chimes that can be found hanging from the eaves of innumerable shops catering to tourists, the smell of incense burning from the same shops, and the occasional whiff of weed.
