It's official: "Asheville, North Carolina is BeerCity USA 2010. While Portland, Oregon organized a healthy challenge against the western North Carolina city of Asheville, in the end the relentless craft beer enthusiasm for Asheville won out," writes Charlie Papazian, who started the BeerCity USA poll last year and ran it again this year. His comments appeared this afternoon here.
In all, Asheville garnered 7,389 votes, compared with second-place winner Portland's 6,565 votes.
Papazian closes with, "Congratulations to the beer enthusiast network and beer passion expressed in the BeerCity USA Poll 2010 by Asheville, North Carolina."

Congratulations to all the great Micro Breweries in Asheville, and the surrounding mountain communities! All of you make great, and diverse beverage products that make us consumers here in the WNC area proud (and satiated, too)
Now we need to find a way to grow hops in a major fashion locally and become a source for you folks, the rest of the country, and someday, part of the world market: The agricultural talent, and resourcefulness is already here.
