Downtown – South Slope

77 Coxe Avenue
Asheville, NC 28801

** Our Downtown Coxe Avenue / South Slope location is now OPEN!  

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.  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.

Big Hugs

Double IPA | 7.5% ABV
Big Hugs is a testament to the resilient spirit of Asheville. Brewed with Simcoe, Nectaron, and Galaxy hops, this beer bursts with notes of passion fruit, pineapple, peach, and mandarin orange, these vibrant flavors are a direct result of our dedication to crafting a beer that embodies the warm embrace of a community that always comes together. This double IPA is a symbol of the love Asheville Brewing Company has for Asheville, especially after the challenging times our city has faced this past year. Just as the city rallied and supported each other, Big Hugs offers a comforting and uplifting experience. This beer is meant to be shared and enjoyed amongst friends, much like the spirit of Asheville itself.

Bold Rock Premium Dry Cider

Cider | 6.0% ABV
Our cider makers balanced the natural sweetness, acidity and tannic quality of apples to give this off-dry cider pronounced character and flavor

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.

Hans Hefe

Hefeweizen | 5.45% ABV
Hans is our homeboy! This is our traditional German hefeweizen with prominent banana notes and a slight clove backbone. We ran a triple decoction with Epiphany Pilsner and Wheat malts to honor the dude that is the fixer of all things.

Love is Everywhere

Pilsner | 5.4% ABV
To celebrate Asheville Beer week, the reopening of our Coxe Avenue location, and Wilco, we’re releasing Love is Everywhere, a crisp and bready Bohemian Pilsner. This brew dances on your palate with a perfect harmony of noble Saaz hops, offering delicate floral and spicy notes that intertwine with a gentle malt sweetness. The clean finish leaves you refreshed, yet longing for more—like a fleeting moment of pure joy. At 5.4% ABV, Love is Everywhere is light enough for any occasion but full of character and heart. Whether you’re sharing it with friends at a show or enjoying it alone, it’s a reminder that love truly is all around us, just waiting to be discovered.

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.

Rocket Girl Lager

Kolsch | 4.2% ABV
Crisp and easy-drinking beer, brewed with Kolsch yeast to give it the character of both an ale and a lager.

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!

Slice of Paradise

Seltzer | 5.0% ABV
Bright and refreshing pineapple seltzer, Slice of Paradise is low calorie and naturally gluten free. Big flavor and aroma like a freshly sliced pineapple. Let it take you to beverage bliss.

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.
