10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Mount Mitchell

"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."

"Located on the Eastside of town, it’s surrounded by lush woods with a pasture called the Meadow. The Meadow hosts a variety of rotating food trucks, as well as picnic tables and games. There is something for everyone, including your dog."

"This Irish brewery is a little bit outside of Asheville, but it was worth the trip. The brewery and tasting room are in a large building with room for you and the kids to dance!. Plus they have root beer on tap for the kids."

"Housed in an endearingly austere space, Burial Beer Co.’s main taproom looks like a repair shop that’s been retrofitted with barrels and twinkling lights. But it’s also one of the most exciting and inventive breweries in South Slope, offering a vast and varied selection of styles. IPAs typically occupy a lot of space on the draft lines, in multiple variations and flavor profiles, like fruit-forward triple IPAs and oat-based imperials."

"Burial is one of our favorite breweries in town because not only do they have a ton of great brew on tap but they also have some great seating options. Besides a bunch of picnic tables, some of which have umbrellas, there’s even an old vintage truck out back that’s been made into some fun, unique seating. Beer to try: Surf Wax IPA"

"Asheville Brewing Company says everything is locally brewed with love, and after a visit here you will surely believe it. They have three locations – a brewpub downtown where you can tour the production facilities, a pizza and beer base in South Asheville, and the crown jewel taproom in North Asheville. The taproom features a game room and a movie theater."

"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."

"Address: 27 Buxton Ave.; Asheville, NC 28801Phone Number: 828-252-5502Website: http://www.greenmanbrewery.com/. For one of the biggest breweries in Asheville, don’t pass up Green Man. Find three levels of beer heaven — a Zen rock garden and rooftop bar included. You can also head to Dirty Jack’s, which is right next door."

"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."

"The brewery is located at the Hi-Wire production facility and has a lot of tables inside the building along with a great outside seating area. The brewery doesn’t serve food but there was a food truck in the parking lot that had a great selection. With plenty of room inside for kids and outside this is a great family brewery destination."

"Located in West Asheville, the Whale has a great neighborhood vibe as well as a ton of cool, hard-to-find beers from all over the world. Though they’re not a brewery they’ll also often have a collaboration beer or two on tap which means that on any given day you never know what you might find at the Whale. It keeps things interesting and keeps people coming back for more."

"Oyster House Brewing Company was founded in 2009 with a purpose: to produce high-quality, unique ales for beer and seafood lovers. Their batches are small, and you can tell that a lot of care went into their creation. Get some of their delicious seafood and wash it all down with your brew of choice."

"Hillman’s small space packs quite a punch thanks to a large front porch and garage doors that connect the two spaces on pleasant days. They also share the space with Rise Above Deli, which makes everything from scratch on-site, including killer Reubens, pastramis, and falafels. Even if you’re not hungry, split a pig missile—a pretzel stuffed with brat and sauerkraut—while you work your way through their 15 in-house beers."

"Biltmore Village, Old FortThis no-nonsense outfit down the road from Biltmore Village has it going on. Family-owned since it opened in 2017, Hillman is less industrial-chic than some of its fellow AVL taprooms. Instead, it skews cozy, with low iron-wrought rafters and bistro lights above long communal tables inside, and large deck and patio spaces both out front and back."

"Went here for dinner with my extended family of 6 and everyone loved their meals and drinks. We were a little apprehensive because it was in a Holiday Inn…”more"

"One of the most highly-favored Asheville coffee shops is also located in one the city’s coolest buildings. Head to the Asheville flatiron building, and you’ll find World Coffee Cafe, serving espresso drinks, tea and baked goods on the ground floor. Or, go to the shop’s SkyBar at the top of the building, and enjoy alcoholic beverages with a stunning view of the city."

"Located on the ground floor of the Flat Iron Building in downtown Asheville, World Coffee Cafe is an ideal stop for breakfast with a view. You’ll glimpse scenic mountains out the window as you survey the menu, which features an excellent selection of pastries and local, fresh menu items a la carte."

"World Coffee is a great option for downtown Asheville coffee shops. With a convenient location near to parking, it’s one of our standbys. The service here is friendly and fast and the coffee is good."

"Made fresh daily, Whit’s Frozen Custard offers a unique twist on the classic ice cream experience. Try a seasonal flavor of their signature frozen custard or experiment with one of their legendary “Whitties”– a cookie ice cream sandwich with frozen custard in the middle, rolled in various crunchy toppings like crushed butterfingers. ^ These are charming local delicacies known for their super creamy texture."

"With two Whit’s locations in Asheville and another in nearby Hendersonville, you should never be far from frozen custard. As ice cream’s premium grade, this indulgent treat goes above and beyond to put you in a true state of bliss. Between the pasteurized eggs and 10 percent butterfat, it’s easy to see why the custard served at Whit’s is so wonderfully creamy."
