Top 5 Breweries in Asheville

  1. 1

    Burial Beer Co. South Slope Taproom

    South Slope

    Craft Beer & Brewing 2025 Readers' Choice #3 small-regional brewery in the country (and #2 in 2024) — the South Slope flagship that The Adventurist calls beer 'with a metal album cover come to life.'

  2. 2

    Highland Brewing Company

    East Asheville

    Asheville's original post-Prohibition brewery (1994), founded by the late Oscar Wong and still family-run by his daughter Leah Wong Ashburn — Imbibe calls it a 'stalwart' of the scene.

  3. 3

    Wedge Brewing Company

    River Arts District

    The River Arts District anchor since 2008 — The Adventurist praises the outdoor patio of metal sculptures and murals; rebuilt its taproom post-Helene and still brewing at Wedge Studios.

  4. 4

    Hi-Wire Brewing South Slope Brewpub & Gleezy Hot Dogs

    South Slope

    2025 World Beer Cup Silver for its Hi-Wire Lager — The Adventurist's pick for the brewery that 'doesn't take itself too seriously,' with multiple South Slope and RAD taprooms.

  5. 5

    Green Man Brewery

    South Slope

    'Brewing beer since before it was cool,' per The Adventurist — Dirty Jack's, Green Man's ESB, is a South Slope mainstay that helped invent Asheville's craft identity in the mid-'90s.
