What To Expect On A BREW-ed Brewery Tour

Expert Tour Guides

Every one of our brewery tours is hosted by a recognized expert when it comes to beer.  As your Cicerone certified guide takes you to each brewery, you’ll do more than just drink.

Asheville Craft Beer

Our brewery tours challenge our guests to get out of their comfort zone! We pour a wide variety of beer styles on every tour. At each stop, you will enjoy three to four six ounce samples of beer. Don’t show up on an empty stomach! 

Local History

In the early days, Asheville provided clean mountain air and healing waters visitors. Today, people are drawn to the mountains to hike, bike and explore great restaurants and local breweries. Uncover Asheville’s past as we move between stops.

What Are We Going To Do On The Tour?

hi-wire brewery tour

On a BREW-ed brewery tour, you’ll do more than just drink! You’ll get behind the scenes access to some of Asheville’s best breweries. You’ll see the tools brewers use to create your favorite beers, and learn their processes. You’ll sample a wide range of award winning and small batch beers not available anywhere else. You’ll experience all Asheville’s beer community has to offer alongside local beer industry experts.

 

How many people will be in the group?

BREW-ed limits the size of its brewery tours to 14 guests. Bigger groups make it hard for everyone to hear and participate. Small tours are unique to BREW-ed, and we hope you enjoy the more personalized experience. We recommend you buy your tickets early, as our tours do sell out.

Do I need to tip anyone?

Tips for tour guides are not required but always appreciated! We handle tipping all the brewery staff.

Walking Brewery Tours

How far are we going to walk?

Asheville has 15 breweries in the downtown area alone. A collection of old warehouses towards the southern end of the downtown historic district has been revitalized into an unofficial brewery playground.

“The South Slope,” as it’s known, is home to more than a half dozen craft beer producers, so it provides the perfect backdrop for our brewery walking tours. We can share Asheville’s history as we visit breweries that are each very different from one another, despite their close proximity.

While our walking tour is an eco-friendly and healthier alternative to a bus tour, our goal is an enjoyable relaxing experience, not a marathon.

Comfortable shoes are recommended.
