Breweries & Bars

Beer City USA

Asheville is also known for its thriving beer scene, which is how it got the nickname "Beer City USA." With more than 23 breweries per capita, Asheville boasts more breweries than anywhere else in the USA. It is fun and easy to do a brewery tour of Asheville because many of the breweries are clustered close together on Asheville's South Slope. We recommend a visit to these fine establishments.
