"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"

"Founded in 1994, Highland Brewing is actually Asheville’s original craft brewery!. Today, Highland’s production brewery and taproom has three event venues plus the Meadow – a large communal outdoor space with a grassy park, beach volleyball courts, live music, walking trails, food trucks, and more!. Highland is probably one of the most family-friendly breweries in Asheville because there’s just so much room to spread out and have fun – the property sits on 40 acres!"

"Highland Brewing Company is the very first craft brewery in Asheville. Up until today, it is still regarded as one of the best places to enjoy a beer in North Carolina. Their beer selections may not be as diverse as other breweries, but it is still bountiful and includes a solid selection of beers such as the Gaelic ale and the cold mountain winter warmer, brews that are hard to find anywhere outside Asheville."

"The Green Man is a mythical figure who is often said to represent spring and new growth. Green Man Brewery was one of the original beer halls of Asheville in 1997, but they are always bringing something new and exciting to the beer scene in honor of their namesake. Their flagship ale is their English-style IPA, with a balanced floral and hoppy body for fans of flavor."

"Separated into two floors, you’ll find refreshing and innovative American craft beers to enjoy upstairs, and on the first floor, you’ll find some of the brewery’s best Belgian and other European rare beers. The latter fits well with the brewery’s name, Thirsty Monk, which harkens back to the Belgian monks who brewed beer in the Middle Ages. With more than 30 beers on tap and more than 100 bottles to choose from, there’s certainly something for everyone here."

"Proof that Asheville’s beverage scene goes far beyond beer, Ben’s Tune Up is the city’s first sake brewery, using 100 percent American rice and mountain water to create its creamy elixirs. Staying on brand with Asheville’s penchant for garage spaces, Ben’s is inside a former auto shop, with an abundant beer garden and on-site takeout window slinging sake-friendly snacks like dumplings, egg rolls, and kimchi brats. Unpasteurized sake is served cold on draft, including fruit-infused versions like pineapple-jalapeno and blueberry-lime."

"From the outside it’s hard to tell that Ben’s Tune Up even has an outdoor area. But do yourself a favor and check it out because you’ll discover a sort of outdoor/indoor space with a bunch of different places to hang out and listen to live music, talk with your friends, people watch, etc. It makes our list as one of the best outdoor spots in Asheville to grab a drink because the staff is super friendly, they often have live music and well, there’s a roof if you want one and tons of spots without one if you don’t."
