About Asheville Brewing Company

Asheville Brewing Company is a brewpub on Coxe Avenue in Asheville's South Slope. The brewery says it opened in 2005 as the first brewpub in what is now a brewery-heavy neighborhood. This location is home to the company's production brewery.

There are 15 taps of house beer. They run from Ninja Porter to farmhouse ales and a wide range of IPAs. Ninja Spirits Distillery is based here too, and the brewery says Ninja Porter won gold at the World Beer Cup.

The kitchen serves pizza, burgers and pub food. Up front there is a full bar and beer poured straight from the brewdeck. The huge covered patio is enclosed and heated in colder months, and it is pet friendly.

This brewpub is also home to Asheville Yards, an outdoor music venue that holds 4500 people. Asheville Brewing has been around since 1995. It also runs a separate pub in North Asheville with a dine-in movie theater.
