Asked around a few bartenders and was told Barley’s, Foggy Mountain, Asheville Brewery, and the Bier Garden as Arkadin previously mentioned.
Greenman has the best beer to me... Highwire has a delish porter (nice coffee aftertaste)- Wicked Weed is by far the best atmosphere but the brews seemed to tinkered with for my liking but they have good stuff.
just got back from wicked weed to the hotel room to shower for dinner. it was pretty decent and a nice place. some nice high abv beers.
hiked the waterfall district trails today. there are so many different hiking areas, shit is awesome. going to walk around downtown a bit and hit up a few breweries. the weather here is awesome so far.
I was very underwhelmed last time I was there. The bartenders were a-holes and the two beers I had were not good.
Brahamian brewery can suck a dick. Asshole bartender would only allow one sample and only one beer per person. Not very helpful about explaining the beers. Guy was a giant beer cunt.
Heading to Asheville this weekend for my bachelor party. I'll review this thread, but appreciate any suggestions. I was thinking about going to Sierra Nevada, but might skip it to stay closer to town. Looking to at least check out Highland, Wicked Weed, Catawba downtown (is it a good spot?), and New Belgium (better than Sierra Nevada?). Not sure what to do for lunch or breakfast. I've never been to Biscuit Head but heard good things. Going to be 6-7 of us, so I need to find a place that has decent sized tables. TIA
Sierra Nevada is better than new Belgium. Catawba is good. Go to burial, twin leaf, hi wire and green man that are all right there. Lots of breweries will have food but we've listed a bunch of places in here too
I was reading about it before this thread and y'all have sold me on the fried chicken sandwich. Adding it to the itinerary. Thanks
Sierra Nevada is a really cool place to spend a few hours during the day. it's out of downtown but not that far.
I would go to Sierra Nevada during the day and then head downtown at night to other breweries. Wicked Weed is my favorite. On our last trip we went to Brahmari Brewing and none of us in our group cared for it. We also went to Off the Wagon Dueling Piano Bar and it was pretty good. Really good crowd and was alot of fun. Biscuit Head is a must for breakfast but you have to get there very early.
