South Slope Brewery District
South Slope
A craft beer district on the south side of the old town, built in former auto repair shops, with more than a dozen breweries and barbecue joints within walking distance.
Asheville is known as “Beer City,” with one of the highest numbers of craft breweries per capita in the country, and South Slope is the densest cluster. Former auto shops and warehouses have been turned into breweries and tasting rooms, lined up one after another, alongside barbecue, hot dogs, and food trucks. Most breweries offer small tasting flights, so you can walk from one to the next, or join a guided craft beer tour. You must be 21 or older with ID to drink, and never drink and drive.
Opening hours
Approx. 12:00–22:00 (varies by shop)
