Wedge

BREW TO TRY: Community

Porter

Head to the eastern side of

the river for Wedge Brewing

Company, a walk-in closet-

sized taproom in a 19th-

century warehouse. Seating

is limited inside, but there’s

plenty of room on the covered

patio outside. Wedge doesn’t

distribute, so the only place

you can try its dra”s is here

(and at their other location

one mile down the river). 37

Paynes Way, Ste. 001; 828-505-

2792; wedgebrewing.com

STOP

New Belgium

BREW TO TRY: Citradelic Tangerine IPA

Probably the most obvious stop for beer lovers visiting Asheville, New Belgium Brewing is massive,

crowded, and worth every line. Outside on the lawn, admire the surrounding tree line or listen to

live music and the ripples of the French Broad River. Reserve a free tour online up to two months in

advance. 21 Craven St., 828-333-6900, newbelgium.com

Wedge Brewing

has two locations

in Asheville. Their

˜agship taproom

is in Wedge Studios

(above), and their

second location

opened in 2017 just

one mile away (right).
