The wedge 7/18/11... Bad-fukken-ass place. No frills, artsy metal graveyard, art gallery, dirt parking lot on the underpass in a warehouse, packed at 7 on a monday! You really have to know where youre going to get here. Beer’s great, food truck out front, out side seating in the lot, very relaxing chill spot. This is the best PLACE in ash... so far.

We stopped by about an hour before the place was supposed to open but the owner/brewer was gracious and more than happy to pour us a couple of beers. It in a dicey looking area, but the interior is clean and well thought out, if a bit cozy. There is a huge patio area, but it was too cold to sit there - we can’t wait to go there when its warmer out. Really cool place.

Great brews on tap. The vibe is renovated warehouse with no A/C and the occasional train in the backyard. The location is surrounded by other renovated warehouses inhabited by artists so it inherits their eclectic vibe. They show movies on the side of an old delivery truck on saturdays. The beers are all fantastic, though they do love citrus in their brews. Would come back in cooler weather.

Interesting place. It’s right on the railroad tracks, which I enjoy. But it’s sort of hidden in a warehouse district that some of the creative crowd are trying to turn into an "arts district." So the tasting room is in an ex-art gallery, ex-industrial space. Kind of odd, and pretty small. But the patio is nice. They have some good beers available, too. Very friendly and generous service. I’ll be back.

The highlight here is clearly the beer and not the ambiance. The outdoor seating at plastic picnic tables in gravel lot doesn’t do much for me, but the beer was good. Free peanuts help. The guy with the cart selling tamales in the lot provided a little sustenance. Worth a stop for the beer, but a few pints and I was ready to move on.

I like this place. Neat old school industrial warehouse environment right next to active rail lines. Have a beer while you watch trains roll by. Tons of hippies running around with their dogs and frisbies. Plenty of room to wonder around with your beer and they frequently have food carts on site. Fish Taco’s last time...Yum. Inside is nothing special but you can get many of their tasty brews. Relatively nice and knowledgeable people working there. I like stopping by every time I’m in Asheville.

You have to go halfway down the gravel rear parking area from Lyman St, the pub is not accessible from the street address. Narrow patio outside, and an awkward (but neat and clean) indoor area lined with homebuilt bartop. Amusing mix of customers… a few college jocks; lots of granola girls; some guys we passed on the street that we thought were homeless, but who came in later for pints; forty-something slumming hipsters. Everyone was super friendly. Eight draught beers (fermenters visible behind the bar) ranging from 4.8% to 9%abv, and bartenders are happy to pour free samples. We tried half of them, all solid if unspectacular… malt-driven and cloudy, reminding me of the extract brews I was making in my second year of homebrewing. Food is available via a symbiotic concession stand in the parking lot, and I saw someone eating takeout pizza. If you’re already nearby, I’d recommend it just to rub shoulders in the ridiculous bar area, otherwise…

A nice little brewery in the artsy fartsy district of Asheville. I’ve been here twice and enjoyed the beers. There isn’t much room indoors but plenty of places to sit outside. They do not serve food but there are usually food trucks parked around. It’s a little out of the way of the other Asheville stuff but worth stopping by for a few pints.

This bar is fairly popular, but all they have is beer and peanuts. Luckily, the beer is good enough to justify the visit and they’re in the art gallery district along the French Broad River so there’s more reason to go visit than just the beer. Also, if you’re lucky, the food truck with the crepes, tamales, and empanadas will show up.

I tried, but I just couldn’t get into this one. There’s no food. No waiter service. No air conditioning and it’s ungodly hot. They do allow dogs, which is nice, but enough to overcome the shortcomings. Maybe I was unlucky, but they only had four beers on tap when I got there. It was’t worth the trip, really, other than to find new brews to rate.
