As a multiple winner of Beer City, USA, Asheville is a great place to find a cold craft brew, refreshing glass of wine, or one-of-a-kind cocktail. In fact, you can find a quality drink menu at the most unusual of places in town, including gas stations, laundromats, and art galleries.
But if you’re having trouble deciding where to start your celebrations, we have a few suggestions for you and your squad. Call up your friends and bridesmaids, book your tickets for Asheville, and enjoy the following brewery and beverage suggestions. Here are six places to toast your bachelorette weekend in Asheville.
Highland Brewing Company
As Asheville’s oldest brewery, you can always count on Highland Brewing (12 Old Charlotte Highway, Asheville) to have plenty of good beers on tap. In addition to simply enjoying the main taproom, they also have a rooftop patio complete with mountain views, a meadow for concerts and events, and they give behind-the-scenes tours. Their website mentions these tours can be booked especially for bachelorette parties. Enjoy!

Burial Beer Co.
Burial Beer Co. (40 Collier Avenue, Asheville) beers are fantastic! But mostly, where else are you going to take a bachelorette group selfie with Tom Selleck? You know, that handsome private detective with the ‘stache that’s actually in a facial hair hall of fame. You’ll only find his larger-than-life visage on the wall of Burial Beer’s South Slope location, along with Sloth from “The Goonies.” Prost!
New Belgium Brewing Company
New Belgium’s North Carolina tasting room (21 Craven Street, Asheville) is a must for anyone visiting the area. Their Fat Tire is legendary. And the brewery is right on the French Broad River, complete with walking trails and plenty of kayakers passing by. Drive up, bike up, or float up to New Belgium for an award-winning brew. Slainte!

Bhramari Brewing Company
Want your bachelorette weekend to be sweet? How about an entire brewery and kitchen inspired by bees and honey!? In fact, Bhramari Brewing Company’s (101 S Lexington Avenue, Asheville) name comes from the ancient Sanskrit word for bee. The prices are affordable and you can drink inside or out. Badhai Ho!
Battery Park Book Exchange
Is beer not really your thing? That’s okay—this trip is all about finding what you like! Battery Park Book Exchange (1 Page Avenue #101, Asheville) is well-known for its wine and champagne lists. You can have a few drinks in a classy atmosphere surrounded by stacks and stacks of classic, leather bound books. Salud!
Painting with a Twist
If you’re looking for an experience that goes deeper than your glass, Asheville has that, too. Create your own beautiful work of art while drinking at Painting with a Twist (2 Town Square Boulevard, Asheville). How hard can that be? Bring your own beer or wine and leave with memories and a painting for your she-shed. Na Zdorovie!
