10 Best Breweries in Lake Lure

"There’s a case to be made that Burial is one of North Carolina’s best breweries, let alone Asheville’s. From the eye-catching can art to the rusted farm equipment adorning the South Slope District taproom’s walls, Burial appears to have a spiritual connection with the metalheads at TRVE Brewing Co. in Denver. Hardcore comparisons aside, Burial excels at nearly every beer style."

"When investigating the best breweries in Asheville, it’s essential to pay homage to the original brewmasters, Highland Brewing Company, who paved the way for the rest. Heading here is a top thing to do while in Asheville!. They have two spaces, one is a tap room with an extensive rotating selection, views of production, and a garden porch."

"Highland Brewing Company brews a tasty array of ales, porters, stouts, and more, all while taking an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach."

"Asheville Pizza And Brewing mixes fun with beer at three locations, each with a different focus. In North Asheville, you’ll find a family-friendly environment with a game room, pub food, and of course, fresh brews. The downtown location is where the brewing happens and, in addition to a full bar, enjoy beer and food from the covered patio."

"Located in downtown Asheville the brewery/restaurant has a great covered outside seating area. They also have an outdoor game room setup with baggo and room for the kids to walk around. The beer was great and so was the food!"

"South SlopeNamed for the mythical sylvan woodland creature, Green Man is one of the elders of the Asheville craft beer scene. Since 1997, it’s been plying thirsty North Carolinians and guests with fresh, hop-forward beers brewed on eco-friendly brewing equipment at either the hulking “Green Mansion” (production facility built in 2016) or Dirty Jack’s, its eclectic tasting room where special releases like highly lauded DIPA The Rainmaker is brewed (98 on RateBeer). The Green Mansion is a bit austere, while at Jack’s the decor is funky and the atmosphere cozy."

"Green Man has been in Asheville almost as long as Highland Brewing. Since 1997, they’ve been serving locals and visitors alike with hop-forward beers. However, they have remained true to English brewing styles over the years."

"From the outside it’s hard to tell that Ben’s Tune Up even has an outdoor area. But do yourself a favor and check it out because you’ll discover a sort of outdoor/indoor space with a bunch of different places to hang out and listen to live music, talk with your friends, people watch, etc. It makes our list as one of the best outdoor spots in Asheville to grab a drink because the staff is super friendly, they often have live music and well, there’s a roof if you want one and tons of spots without one if you don’t."

"It’s a sake brewery with a beer garden and Asian fusion restaurant, combining all of your favorites into one convenient location!. It’s open in the afternoons and evenings every day and includes an urban beer garden, full-service restaurant, sake brewery, and sake tasting room. View this post on Instagram"

"Archetype Brewing’s goal was to open something “experimental and funky” while reflecting the neighborhood’s culture. The vision at Archetype is to showcase the flavors of the area by using local ingredients, creating dynamic events, and continually experimenting with the brewing process. Their mission is to provide complex, mindful (remaining conscious of the ingredients and how they’re brewed), and living (using yeast experimentation to create nontraditional flavors) beer."

"Archetype works to create “complex, mindful, living beer” and we believe it’s mission accomplished. They often do collaborations to support the local community and in doing so, push the boundaries of traditional brewing in an intentional way. Their unique process is inspired by a Belgian style and they are constantly innovating and updating as they prefer a free-form method of brewing."

"Biltmore Village, Old FortThis no-nonsense outfit down the road from Biltmore Village has it going on. Family-owned since it opened in 2017, Hillman is less industrial-chic than some of its fellow AVL taprooms. Instead, it skews cozy, with low iron-wrought rafters and bistro lights above long communal tables inside, and large deck and patio spaces both out front and back."

"Small and family-owned, Hillman aims to bring the pub style back to the brewery. They have a very comfortable and slightly quirky ambience, with plenty of long communal tables perfect for sharing beers on. If you’re not too into beer, they have their own cider and ginger beer options available which are just as fun and tasty."

"If Asheville is well known for its culinary scene, it’s equally beloved for its beverages, especially beer. Locals credit Oscar Wong’s Highland Brewing Company with kicking off the craftbrew culture in 1995, and it has exploded in years since, making it one of the go-to cities for a beer tour. To taste your way through the offerings, head first to the South Slope, where a dozen breweries line the streets."

"Or you can head to Asheville's South Slope neighborhood where you'll find several breweries, including Burial Beer Co. (the city's first nano-brewery), Green Man Brewery, the Funkatorium (a barrel house and sour tap room associated with Wicked Weed Brewing), Twin Leaf Brewery, and more."

"Visit the South Slope of Asheville and check out the Funkatorium, a Wicked Weed Brewing establishment that features over a dozen varieties of beers on draft. If you’re looking for a place to grab a place to eat as well, this is an excellent option."

"The eggs are so good I promise I have never tasted better eggs. The servers are so nice and professional. Very nice to go in the morning time to get some..."
