Here in Asheville, we’re well known for having more breweries than any U.S. city, with roughly 100 local beers that can be enjoyed, served on draft or in bottles. Each of our breweries has its own unique atmosphere and personality and the same could be said for their brews. If breweries aren’t your thing be sure to check out the multitude of bars throughout Downtown Asheville with some of the most talented mixologists. No matter how you like to enjoy your favorite beverage, Asheville’s expansive selection of eclectic breweries and bars has something for everyone!
Burial Beer Co.
Residing in and revitalizing the South Slope District of Asheville, NC, the brewery began its life in summer 2013 as a one-barrel system that grew to a ten-barrel in just over a year. It is now fed from our production facility, barrelhouse, and taproom brewery. Our tap list and to-go offerings reflect the evolution of our inspirations with new releases weekly. For those who are looking for something other than beer, our wine list is intentionally curated. Our passion for craft beverages expanded in 2020 with a new brand, VISUALS, offering wine, cider, and vermouth.

Archetype Brewing
We imagined a brewery that would brew beers that are experimental and funky, reflecting the neighborhood culture. Beers that would push the boundaries of style, and utilize inspiration from local flavor and ingredients. A space that would provide a social hub for the vibrant neighborhood of West Asheville. We built this brewery to showcase the flavor of Asheville through the use of local ingredients, dynamic events, and constant experimentation. Everything from delicate barrel-aged saisons and Belgian strong ales, to well-crafted pilsners and clean IPAs. We brew what we want to drink.
