10 Best Breweries 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 newest brewery on this list, Zillicoah Beer Co. opened in late December 2017, enjoying steady crowds from the beginning. The industrial space puts beer drinkers and fermentation tanks side by side, making guests feel like insiders with a front-row view. But the big draw is the large outdoor space along the French Broad River, complete with a covered section that butts up to a large firepit flanked by a permanent food truck slinging Mexican cuisine."

"Technically, Zillicoah is located just outside of Asheville in the neighboring Woodfin, but as one of the best craft breweries in the region, we’ll let this one slide. The charming riverside brewery produces some of the most enticing, yet simple, beers we’ve had in a long time. With a focus on gentle, though complex flavors, Zillicoah specializes in open-fermented lagers and ales, a traditional approach that feels progressive in today’s beer industry."

"Taste open-fermented farmhouse beers and lagers at a sunlit brewery and warehouse on the river at the city’s outskirts. 870 Riverside Drive, Woodfin; zillicoahbeer.com. Zillicoah Beer Company Owners"

"There are two Wedge Brewing Co. locations and we love them both but we chose the one at the Foundation for our best outdoor brewery and bar list in Asheville because it has a ton of seating as well as a walk-up beer window. There’s always a food truck on-site in case you get hungry and there’s usually a few corn hole boards laying around. Beer to try: Iron Rail IPA"

"It’s a sake brewery with a beer garden and Asian fusion restaurant, combining all of your favorites into one convenient location!. It’s open in the afternoons and evenings every day and includes an urban beer garden, full-service restaurant, sake brewery, and sake tasting room. View this post on Instagram"

"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."

"A post shared by Riverside Rhapsody Beer (@riversiderhapsody). About ten minutes north of Asheville is the Riverside Rhapsody Brewery. The idea behind Riverside Rhapsody came from the two owners, Mike and Joey."

"copper crown is a neighborhood bistro in East Asheville, offering their take on New American cuisine with a nod to New Orleans standards. Their menu is updated often to reflect what is new and fresh in the kitchen. Their cuisine pays homage to New Orleans, Italy and the American south while also utilizing the relationships that they have built with local farmers over the years."

Blue Spiral 1, 38 Biltmore Ave, Asheville, NC, USA, +1 828 251 0202"

"Little more than a year old, new-kid-on-the-block Elements Real Food sells its own nut “mylks” and smoothies with everything from spirulina and maca, a South American tuber. On the cafe side, Elements has a unique sipping broth (a good anti-cold elixir with its chaga tea, chickpea miso, ginger, and sesame); an ALT (an avocado, lettuce and tomato sandwich with veganaise and on bread from artisanal baker Farm and Sparrow); and raw food desserts such as an avocado-vegan chocolate pie."

"This cold-press juice bar and cafe serves and sells 16-ounce bottles of freshly made juices, nut “mylks” made with cashews, and smoothies. Those looking for a bit more texture can choose from acai bowls, salads or avocado toast, and gluten-free bread and other options can be found on their menu as well. And for raw dieters, their raw desserts earn rave reviews."

The restaurant is committed to preparing high nutrient food that is both satisfying in taste and quality."

"With 16 years under their belt in a slightly tucked-away corner of downtown, Rosetta’s has cemented itself as one of the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the city. In fact, their homestyle veggie burger is now sold at local health food retailers. A conscientious vibe permeates beyond the food menu here since Rosetta’s has an “Everybody Eats” program, which offers a healthy beans-and-rice plate on a sliding scale starting as low as $2."

"Say you want wings, nachos, and things that look suspiciously like bar food (no judgment). Go to Rosetta’s Kitchen, where the wings are tempeh strips, the nachos come with vegan queso and no carne, and the Reuben’s sauerkraut is actually kimchi. Rosetta’s downtown location and buchi bar (111 Broadway Street) also stays open until 11 p.m."

"The food is delicious, the dining area is open air and aesthetically delightful. The values Rosetta’s upholds could make the worl..."
