    Cute little place for beer. Sat outside under the covered patio. Plenty of space! Great selection of beer. Very friendly bartender!

    The beers are delicious, and the variety and the creativity of styles make them unique. Plus the beertender was very friendly and helpful and friendly when picking up what to have from their menu. The place is very nice and got lucky again with the nice weather, they have outdoor seating where you can enjoy your drinks. They don't have food, but the place on the next corner would bring your order to you if you let them know you're at the brewery. What did I drink? - Lumina, West Coast Pilsner 6% ABV - Zissou, French Lager 5.5% ABV - Bridgid, Maibock 7.4% ABV - Syzygy, Schwarzbier 4.5% ABV

    Cellarest Beer Project was a fun spot to grab a beer at. We decided to have two rounds, it was the apricate for me and the yatta for my husband. Both were great choices. They switch the beers that they brew up so I will have to visit again soon. Cheers!

    Cute little spot! We went on a grand brewery crawl, and loved this stop! We enjoyed a few tasters since they did not do flights. They had a wide selection of interesting beers available, and some chips, no foot or restaurant. But had a beautiful outdoor patio and a cool indoor setting! Definitely a fun and tasty stop on our self made tour!

    There are already like eleventy-thousand reviews on Asheville breweries asking where to go on their beer city tours (really, try the search; I counted). And, I've already shared that the best brewery in Asheville is not in Asheville (in my opinion that honor goes to Zebulon Artisan Ales in nearby Weaverville). So, now it's time to share a newer favorite of the locals that is actually within city boundaries. You'll still need to venture outside of central downtown a mile or so to eclectic West Asheville to find Cellarest Beer Project. When you grab some nearby street parking along Haywood Rd and stroll past their outdoor seating to enter via the large open garage doors don't squint too hard at their draft list trying to find a hazy DDHs or a Carmen Miranda hat's inspired smoothie sour. These guys focus on fermenting, lagering, and aging beer on various woods using locally sourced and foraged ingredients to produce delicate beers like a cherrywood fermented English ale, the latest "could-be-a-trend-but-probably-won't" Cold IPA, or the Acacia-fermented and Oak-aged dark lager pictured above. But, maybe the high-ABV saison, sessionable stout, or smoked lager they have on draft right now look more up your alley. Whatever you choose it'll be fragrant, complex, and most likely under 7% ABV, so try a couple.

    Brand new beer garden in West Asheville. Hubby and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was a good crowd. Most seating is outside picnic tables. They play excellent music and the crowd is a mix of everything- very dog friendly. The staff is really friendly. Started off with Izles, a fantastic Irish Dry Stout. They also offer wine. From the table you can order food from a nearby restaurant (WALK) and have it delivered. They don't have a parking lot so it's taking a chance on street parking.

    Super cool spot in West Asheville. It is right in the same area of some other bars, breweries, and restaurants and has a very nice outside area. When we arrived they had a food truck and a band playing but you could easily escape inside to hang out with your friends. They also had a selection of games to play which I always am a fan of and their drink selection was pretty nice. I really liked this area because there were people of all ages and walks of life and plenty of families hanging out and enjoying the nice weather and a beverage.

    Visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this gem. Now, I want to go every day, but I know I should explore--lol. Andrea was my bartender and she was so friendly and helpful. I settled on a tasty Blonde Ale. I also had a chance to talk to owner Mark about his business plan. Don't worry about food either. You can grab some at the on-site food truck (a different truck each day) or at the restaurant next door. They have cool gear for sale, too.

    A homebrew club friend recommended I stop by while visiting Asheville. We did and now have another regular. There are so many breweries in the area yet Cellarest brings something special and new. We tried an IPA, dark lager, pale ale, and saison. All were fantastic. The atmosphere and service were outstanding too. We'll be back soon.

    Awesome place but needs to step it up with their service. One bartender = 20+ minute wait to get a beer.

    Kudos to Harrison Fahrer and his business partner, Matt, for creating a place that celebrates the arts while providing the best beer in West Asheville.

    I rolled into Blue Ridge Beer Garden after a long drive, coming to see my parent's new…read moreHendersonville house for the first time & knowing nothing about the place. In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

The beer tenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There's a little indoor seating, more seating in a secondary area with pull down canvas sides and then several tables on artificial turf for nice sunny days when you want to be completely outside. They have a wide variety of local food trucks on a rotating basis parked in a slot right next to the bar and dining tables. They are close to downtown Hendersonville without being right on the main road, which makes parking and access easier.

    New Belgium Asheville is an absolute must visit for any beer enthusiast. It is quite the space - a…read morelarge lawn in front with plenty of space for the kids to run around, a nice view of the river off the side, and a really nice space inside. Being someone who isn't the biggest fan of kids in the brewery, it was nice that the kids had a place outside to run around while I could drink in (relative) silence inside. As for the beers, yes they have all the New Belgium favorites you know and love from the store, but with plenty of beers that you'll only find on the tap list. Even though the brewery is called New Belgium, they aren't really known in the beer aisles for Belgian styles. Here is where all those Belgian styles are, and they are fantastic. My only regret was that I didn't have enough time to spend there because there were too many other places to visit in a short amount of time. Local beer snobs will probably tell you to avoid New Belgium because it's "too corporate", but don't listen to that nonsense. New Belgium's tap room was one of the most impressive I've ever visited - great quality beers in an incredible space.

They offer several other tour options, the others are a bit longer though, and have a small cost to take. We didn't think we had the attention for anything much longer and opted for a short and simple tour to get the fun started Our tour guide Emma was friendly, and quick to answer all the questions people had for her. The tour was informative telling us about the history and extensive clean up of the land before building the brewery, as well as their brewing process, and offered samples of their flagship Fat Tire beer. Overall it was a good, informative, though simplified tour. The guide was friendly, the beer was tasty and we had a good time. Beautiful facility, and a great addition to the Asheville brewing community We enjoyed another beer after the tour in their beautiful"liquid center". They don't serve food, but did have food trucks parked out front
