Nearly 2,000 small and independent breweries across the country are celebrating the growing popularity of craft beers. Highland Brewing Company helped put Asheville on that map as the first craft brewery in Western North Carolina. It opened in 1994. This morning, Brewmaster and Co-Owner, John Lyda showed News 13's Victoria Dunkle part of the process for turning out craft beer. Since that time we have seen the craft brew popularity grow here to the point of earning Asheville the title of Beer City U.S.A. "American Craft Beer Week" recognizes craft brewers and homebrewers. It is even congressionally sanctioned as the " Mother of All Beer Weeks". Highland brewing company offers the chance to learn about various types of beers at its tasting room.
