Explore Asheville's River Arts District with a brewing expert and discover the stories behind its local beer scene. This walking tour offers an insider perspective on brewing and the neighborhood's history.
Your tour will begin with a behind the scenes look at brewing ingredients. You'll sample raw materials and explore beers that incorporate their flavors. You'll taste through several of RAD Brewing's beers, as you learn where different flavors come from and the science behind why you like some more than others.
After RAD, your group will head to Wedge Brewery, a favorite among locals. Along the way, your expert guide will share some of the River Arts District's fascinating history. Asheville is a neat town with an exciting past!
After arriving at Wedge, more delicious samples will be shared, as you hear their story. You'll head into the production area at the Wedge and see the tools and processes brewers use to create your favorite beers. If you're joining us on a two brewery tour, we will say our goodbyes after Wedge.
If you're joining us on a three brewery tour, your group will head on to Hi-Wire, one of Asheville's most popular breweries! You'll enjoy Hi-Wire's award winning beers while you hear how they've grown from a simple start on Asheville's South Slope to being one of the most recognized brands in the Southeast!
