"Address: 12 Old Charlotte Highway, Suite 200; Asheville, North Carolina 28803Phone Number: 828-299-3370Website: https://highlandbrewing.com/. One of the Asheville breweries not located downtown, Highland Brewing started a little before Green Man in 1994. Highland offers year-round brews as well as small-batch rotating flavors."

"This spot has the honor of being the first microbrewery in Asheville, and it’s a great one. They keep their flagship brews relevant by tweaking the recipes, but they also continue to innovate, releasing an impressive set of single-hop brews."

"Address: 40 Collier Ave.; Asheville, NC 28801Phone Number: 828-475-2739Website: https://burialbeer.com/. Like Hi-Wire, Burial Beer Company has breweries across North Carolina, including South Slope in Asheville and Raleigh. They also run the Forestry Camp Bar and Restaurant, which highlights locally sourced Appalachian cuisine."

"Another South Slope favorite, Burial Beer Co., features a full-service kitchen in addition to their seasonal selections of craft beer. Whether you’re hunting down the perfect sour or looking to throw back a classic ale, chances are you’ll find it here."

"Many, such as Wicked Weed, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium (the latter two have their Eastern U.S. headquarters here) and Lexington Avenue Brewery, have good food, too. Or, if you’re interested in architecture you could do an architecture day. Asheville has the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the Southeast outside of Miami. If you’re interested in art and local crafts, Asheville has around 50 art and crafts galleries, mainly Downtown, in the River Arts District and in Biltmore Village."

"Asheville Pizza And Brewing mixes fun with beer at three locations, each with a different focus. In North Asheville, you’ll find a family-friendly environment with a game room, pub food, and of course, fresh brews. The downtown location is where the brewing happens and, in addition to a full bar, enjoy beer and food from the covered patio."

"Our first night in town, we wanted to grab a beer and a bite to eat after the long drive into town. Asheville Brewing Company was exactly what we needed. The extensive beer menu was amazing and the BBQ tofu pizza was delicious and HUGE!"

"Green Man Brewery has been brewing legendary ales in Asheville since 1997. One of North Carolina’s oldest breweries, Green Man has produced some of the beer scene’s most iconic ales. They try to stay loyal to traditional English styles, but they are known to include their own twist."

"Opening in 1997, this is one of the oldest breweries in Asheville. But don’t let this European-style brewery trick you into thinking it's done innovating. It’s got something for everyone."

"If you want to stay in the River Arts District, check out one of the two Wedge Brewing Company locations: Wedge at Wedge Studios or Wedge at Foundation. Both are located in old warehouse buildings, serve up unique small batch beers that you won't find anywhere else (since Wedge is not a distribution brewery), and have food trucks on-site during most lunch and dinner hours."

"Hi-Wire Brewing opened in 2013 and has quickly become a favorite with a second Asheville location and sites in Durham and Knoxville, Tennessee (and Wilmington is coming soon). In addition to easy-drinking lagers, the brewery has earned acclaim for its tart kettle sours and complex wild ales. While their beers are known as “balanced and approachable,” the company isn’t afraid to experiment when it comes to their barrel-aged sours, wild ales, recipe development, and small-batch creations."

"Hi-Wire Brewing’s passion for craft beer shines through in every brew they create, making it one of the best breweries near Asheville, NC. They have a light-hearted circus theme that embodies the fun and creative aspect of the craft. Their beers can be found around the area at bars and restaurants, and their tasting room is always a good time. Just keep an eye out for the building that’s painted in rainbow colors– once you see it, you’re in the right place!"

"Find Hi-Wire’s beers on draught at area bars and restaurants, at its tasting room, and in 6-packs at retail outlets. Hi-Wire features 4 year-round beers – Prime Time Pale, Hi-Pitch IPA, Bed of Nails Brown, and Hi-Wire Lager – and rotating seasonal beers."

"Or you can head to Asheville's South Slope neighborhood where you'll find several breweries, including Burial Beer Co. (the city's first nano-brewery), Green Man Brewery, the Funkatorium (a barrel house and sour tap room associated with Wicked Weed Brewing), Twin Leaf Brewery, and more."

"French Broad River Brewery is a classic Asheville brewery inspired by the veins that pump life through the heart of Asheville – the French Broad River (the third oldest river in the entire world!). Mirroring their dedication to help keep Asheville and the river wild, the team at French Broad River Brewery have been crafting up brews steeped in European tradition since 2001, with rotating seasonal and small-batch beers. That said, you can expect to find lots of Kolsch, Scotch Ale, ESB, and Porters on the menu as well as IPAs and specialty Pale Ales."

"One of the older breweries in the city, French Broad River Brewery has been around since 2001. This company is all about Asheville; naming itself after the French Broad River and continually being inspired by local nature. In fact, this company is so dedicated to the outdoors it even brewed a special session beer called Poor Boaters Rations (or PBR) with French Broad Adventures, an outdoor adventure travel company."

"Mr. Sushi is another one of Asheville takeout addictions, especially in 2020. You can order sushi rolls, bowls, and Hibachi. We are fans of their Salmon and Tuna Lover’s Rolls, Philly Roll, and Golden Dragon Roll."

"I took my mom and a family friend here for their first sushi experience, and it was AWESOME!. The food was great, and the hostess and chef (especially the... More reviews"

"No reservations allowed so I called ahead and was lucky enough to get the last 2-top for myself. Service was …interesting… as reflected in many reviews-..."

"If you love sushi, Zen is a quieter spot perfect for North Asheville takeout. Grab a fast lunch special like their two or three-roll combo with soup and salad. For dinner, we love their wide array of specialty sushi rolls."
