Walking Brewery Tours Let You Experience Asheville
Downtown Asheville is home to fifteen breweries. Why not walk? Our walking brewery tours of downtown Asheville visit multiple breweries and let you experience the city.
Asheville was a cosmopolitan playground for the wealthy during the roaring twenties, earning it the nickname “The Paris of the South,” but slipped into hibernation for nearly fifty years. Find out why and how Asheville came back to become the tourism destination it is today.
Tour South Slope Breweries
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 neighborhood, 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.
Enjoy Great Asheville Beer
At each stop, our guides will pour several award winning beers to showcase what makes each brewery unique, including small batch beers you can’t get anywhere else! There is no limit to the range of flavors and aromas in craft beer, so we encourage tour participants to try everything! Our greatest compliment is when we hear you’re enjoying a beer you never would have ordered on your own.
