This seltzer blends bold, ripe peach flavor with a hint of candy sweetness, striking a balance between playful and refreshing. It’s bright, aromatic, and finishes with a clean, effervescent pop that keeps you coming back for more.
Whether you’re poolside, patio-bound, or just vibing with friends, this seltzer was made for good times. At once familiar and brand new, it’s a grown-up nod to your inner kid—with no sticky fingers, just sparkling fun in every sip.
Perfect Day IPA
India Pale Ale | 6.5% ABV

Perfect Haze IPA
Hazy India Pale Ale | 6.2% ABV
A hazy, mellow dream of an IPA. All the juice and fruit you crave from an unfiltered and heavily dry hopped brew. Let your edges blur and maybe dissolve, daydream a little. Let the Perfect Haze guide your reverie.
Rocket Girl Lager
Kolsch | 4.2% ABV
Crisp. Classic. Out of this world.

As a Kolsch-style beer, Rocket Girl bridges the best of both worlds: the easygoing drinkability of a lager and the light fruitiness of an ale. Lift off with every sip.
Shiva IPA
India Pale Ale | 6.5% ABV
An absolute Asheville classic, Shiva IPA is every bit as delicious and balanced today as it was over 20 years ago. Brewed with American barley and hops Shiva has a wonderful kiss of grapefruit and the proper bitterness of iconic West Coast India Pale Ales. Shiva has a simple malt bill with no crystal malt, which was light years ahead of its time, allowing that citrus hoppiness to shine bright. Shiva IPA is the longest on-tap IPA in Western NC. A local Asheville brew if there ever was one!

Session IPA | 4.9% ABV
Asheville Brewing's 2026 Sister Bad Habit is a session IPA brewed with white grape juice. The 11th annual release of this special beer celebrates our favorite LaZoom character- Sister Bad Habit. This slightly sweet, easy-drinking beer finishes dry, with lots of fruity aroma along the way.
White Noise

Smooth, pillowy, and quietly bold at 7.9% ABV, this is a beer that balances intensity with an easy, drifting drinkability.
i am avALE
Pale Ale | 5.7% ABV
Brewed in collaboration with iamavl, iamavAle leans into a classic West Coast profile—clean, bright, and unapologetically hop-forward. Centennial leads with sharp citrus and floral lift, Columbus brings a resinous edge, and Simcoe rounds it out with notes of pine and subtle stone fruit.
Crisp bitterness snaps through a lean malt backbone, keeping things dry, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable. It’s a modern nod to a timeless style—built for hop lovers who appreciate clarity, structure, and a little bite.

12oz Can | North Asheville
Fret Buzz
Munich Helles | 4.7% ABV
This Munich Helles pours pale gold and quietly radiant, built on classic German malts and soft water chemistry tuned as carefully as a custom neck. Aromas stay restrained but expressive: fresh bread, light honey, a hint of meadow grass, and a clean herbal note that hums just under the surface.
Fret Buzz doesn’t shout; it resonates. Each sip snaps into focus, then vanishes fast enough to invite the next, creating a rhythm that feels almost meditative. It’s a beer about feel as much as flavor—smooth, responsive, and endlessly playable. Brewed with Aluminati Guitars, this is lager as craftsmanship: proof that when everything is tuned just right, even the smallest vibration can be electric.
