Downtown – South Slope

77 Coxe Avenue
Asheville, NC 28801

Opened in 2005, Asheville’s first brewpub in the now brewery-centric South Slope and we’ve been tossing pizzas and slinging pints ever since!   This location is the home of our production brewery and packaging warehouse and home of Ninja Spirits Distillery.  We offer award winning pizzas, burgers and pub food as well as 15 taps of our in house brewed creations from World Beer Cup gold winning Ninja Porter to one off creations, farm house ales and a wide range of IPA’s.

This year marks Asheville Brewing’s 30th Anniversary! Since 1995, Asheville Brewing has embodied the Asheville spirit as a beacon of hospitality and entertainment…from movies & film festivals to concerts & arcades. So, it’s only fitting that we celebrate this milestone in a BIG way, by rebranding our iconic music venue Rabbit Rabbit as the newly minted Asheville Yards!

During the last four years, we have been proud to bring talent like Chappell Roan, Black Pumas, Willie Nelson, Noah Kahan, Whiskey Myers, Leon Bridges & more.

828 Pale Ale

American Pale Ale | 5.5% ABV
Classic American Style Pale Ale brewed for the everyday beer drinkin’ Ashevillain. Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hops in the kettle produce just the proper amount of bitterness, balanced with a touch of sweetness from American grown barley. All things together, all at once, in balance, just like our fair and freaky mountain town.  

Carolina Mountain Monster Impe...

Stout | 11% ABV
Introducing Carolina Mountain Monster, an imperial stout that unleashes a beastly blend of flavors. Dark as the depths of a moonless night, the chocolate and roast malts present notes of coffee, chocolate, dark fruit and sweet maltiness. Be patient when you sip this brew and the complex flavor profile will really shine through as it warms up. Available in very limited quantities on draft. 

Fire Escape Pale Ale

Pale Ale | 5.5% ABV
Fresh and roasted jalapeno peppers added to one of our classic Pale Ale recipes to create a slightly spicy, deliciously unique brew.

Hi-Wire Lager

Lager | 4.6% ABV
This true American lager is as approachable as it is delicious, a perfect balance of light Pilsen malt and German Hops. Extensively lagered until the beer reaches peak maturity, this lager is your handcrafted option when only a refreshing, light beer will do.

Love Ninja Porter

Porter | 5.6% ABV
Made with our award winning Ninja Porter, brewed with raspberries, fudge, and lactose, this delicious treat of a beer is a raspberry brownie in a glass.

Mountain Fresca

Sour | 5% ABV
Inspired by the vibrant flavors of a traditional agua fresca, Mountain Fresca is a bright and refreshing fruited sour brewed with watermelon, hibiscus, and lime. Juicy watermelon leads the way, followed by floral notes from hibiscus and a burst of fresh citrus that keeps each sip lively and crisp. Light-bodied and thirst-quenching with a balanced tartness, this summer crusher delivers a colorful twist on a classic warm-weather favorite.

Ninja Porter

Porter | 5.6% ABV
Our World Beer Cup 2014 Gold medal winner & 2018 Bronze medal winner. Roasty, smooth brown porter with all-American hops and malts and a chocolatey finish. There are extremely popular seasonals based off of Ninja Porter including Love Ninja, Ninja Latte Coffee Porter and Ninjabread Man Holiday Porter.

Perfect Day IPA

India Pale Ale | 6.5% ABV
Dry hopped and clear, Perfect Day is the ultimate blend of old and new school IPAs. Citrus and tropical fruit flavor and aroma from big kettle and dry hop doses of Citra, El Dorado, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops produce the Perfect IPA. Our most popular brew!

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.

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!

Sister Bad Habit Session IPA

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.      

Sound Check

Belgian Wit | 5.3% ABV
Soundcheck Belgian Wit pours a hazy, pale straw color with a frothy white head that lingers, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. On the nose, a blend of fresh orange peel, lemon zest, and coriander greets you, followed by light herbal notes and faint spice from the Belgian yeast. The palate is a refreshing blend of zesty citrus balanced by earthy, spicy notes of coriander, with a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel and a crisp, clean finish. Light to medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, this a classic Belgian Wit is perfect for pairing with a Moon Pie or a house salad.

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. Founded in 2012, Independent Arts and Music of Asheville or iamAVL has worked to bring exposure to the music and arts community of Western North Carolina, and support the artists and musicians working there.

With a smooth, crisp body and just a whisper of hops, it brings a touch of subtle sweetness that keeps you coming back for more.
