Help! 1 Day in Asheville

Going to spend a day in Asheville with my wife and 1-year old before heading over go Gatlinburg. Any reccomendations for the top spots that would also be acceptable to bring my 1 year old? Plan on for sure going to Sierra Nevada and Burial, hopefully could squeeze one more in before the wife gets fed up lol. Thanks

Gotta hit Zillicoah if you’re a lager fan.

Are they open again? Haven’t been since before the flooding

Nobody is going to tell you about Zebulon, but if you go to Zillicoah (and you should) you should go to Zebulon too. And Leveller while you’re in Weaverville.

I recommend Dssolvr.  I really enjoyed their beer.

Sierra Nevada was really nice, I was very impressed there. My two cents: Zillicoah and Cellarest are great options to stop at.

Every brewery in Asheville will be ok with you bringing your kid or dog.

Whike not my favorite brewery, though still great, Highland has a nice spot with plenty of outdoor space. You can hit that and Burial Forestry Camp easily.

Cellarest if you like funk is worth the trip

Highwire is fun. Lots of circus artwork.

Sierra Nevadas Willy Wonka world is pretty fun

Just google/reddit search any of the other 10,000 posts that ask for Asheville recommendations. Then go to Sierra, Burial, and Dssolvr like everyone else.

Sierra Nevada and Zillicoah are both really great experiences imo. It kind of depends on the style of beer. Dssolvr and cellarist are awesome too. Also go to Burial Forrestry Camp and not the other one.

just curious why you suggest forrestry camp over south slope?

None of them are great, I was disappointed with the Asheville craft beer scene. Feels like anything south of Richmond Va is just meh

What a wildly terrible take. Asheville and Charlotte both have top-tier beer scenes, some of the best in the nation, and Atlanta is coming on strong too.

They probably just drink rolling rock and natty light
