Asheville Brewing Company

With three locations throughout Asheville, the Asheville Brewing Company is by far one of the biggest staples of the city. This destination has all kinds of incredible brews for you to sample, whether you’re in the mood for a porter, IPA, farmhouse ale, or anything in between. On top of the brews, though, you can also get some mouthwatering pizza! Each location offers a little something new, but if you stop by the Downtown–South Slope location, you’ll find a huge dog-friendly covered patio, an open-air courtyard, and more!

This brewpub offers all kinds of unique varieties, from the Oak Fermented Cider or the Coastal Love IPA to the Black Angel sour ale and more. Offerings are constantly changing, so you can visit again and again and always have something new. You’ll also find a full restaurant right on-site, as well as a downstairs beer bar and a bottle shop.
