Located in an old warehouse alongside a river. The tarpoom and patio looks like they were decorated by Duchamps readymades which gives the place a funky, artsy vibe. That also goes a long way towards describing the patrons although the crowd grew more diverse the longer it went. Keep in mind they don’t have a/c so dress accordingly. The beers ranged from good to stunning with the iron tail IPA clearly the best of the lot. It gets very busy so you have to go up to the bar ab order. All and all I’d definitely come back.

I’ve heard this spun off from a Brewer from Green Man, so I had descent expectations. The 2 I had did not dissappoint. I had both of their Stouts, Oatmeal and Imerial. The oatmeal was one of the better I’ve had in a while, with a really great creaminess to it. Prices were low in my opinion for the area. Not a ton of selection, I think they had 6 or 7 different styles though. Their building I’m sure is pretty cheap rent though. Not real obvious where this is located. In a typical older industrial area being reclaimed by all sorts of art studios. A neat area, but you’re still not quite sure about it. Lots of neat artwork around the place and patio. A good amount of seating. A flower child -esque crowd, but that seems to be typical for the area. They had Monte Python showing on the side of a white truck out in the gravel parking lot. Service was very good, which I found very different for the area in general, though more so at the restaurants. It’s kind of away from everything else in Asheville, but well worth making the trip, which is just a bit too far to walk to from downtown.

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.

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.

A very good brewery in Asheville that cranks out good fresh IPA along with a few others. Only 4 beers on tap when we were there mid-June, but the three that we tried were solid. Nice outdoor atmosphere too. I just wish they had a better selection (and maybe some food).

Funky place in funky, artsy surroundings. Metal sculptures all over the place. Lots of outdoor seating, pretty small indoor area. Cornhole court food truck with Korean and Mexican staff called El Kimchi Only three beers on tap, but those were excellent. Definitely a good place to hang out when the weather allows it.

This place gets crowded with a long line for the beer. Their darker beers were definitely the tastier choice. Probably not worth the effort to get over there if you’re staying downtown.

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…

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.

October 2011. What a crazy place -- in an odd, newly "rescued" area of A-ville, Wedge is part of an old industrial complex alongside the railroad track. With a broad outdoors sitting area and eclectic Hawaiian live music the night we visited, this place screams "counterculture". The beer was solid, but not among the best in A-ville (IMHO). If your’e walking (like we were), this place was far afield, and I’m not sure I’d say you HAVE to go here. If you have more time, and can venture deep into Asheville, then check this place out. (#554)
