    Some the best beer in Asheville their brewing process is slightly different which gives it a better taste and not so filling. Food truck was great ! Firecracker shrimp is what we had for 12.00 which came out quickly. Free parking in the back of brewery rather limited spaces.

    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

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

    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.

    OK, this is the Asheville beer garden ... but I gotta see. I didn't see anything relating to a…read moregarden whatsoever. There was no grass no trees no bushes no wildlife running around so in strictest form it wasn't really a garden. What are the nicest things about the place for serving Christian? Serve me tonight and she was such a sweetheart. She just smiled and she was just a wonderful soul. I could tell the beer was pretty good. Actually they breathe their own stuff here and I had a couple of IPAs the hazy IPA I guess was my favorite fruit Ford 6.5% ABV about a 45 IBU and they have TVs everywhere I was able to watch the Carolina Tar Heels. Play Clemson today. They've got pool tables. They've got all kind of games so you have a lot of TVs and it's breezy. They have a big fan on and the fan feels really good. Plenty of tables. It's a cool place if you're in Asheville and if you like bruise, you gotta stop by ask for Christian as your waitress

They have…read moreadded some new menu items, including a quite good chicken tandoori gyro/wrap and a chipotle chicken Philly. The sauces for both (especially the tandoori) could be a little bolder, but overall they're nice additions to the menu. Their regular fries were good before, but if anything they've gotten even better.

    Our favorite place during our Asheville visit! My husband is from CO and drinks Juice force…read morereligiously. To the extent that markets have started stocking it at his request. Anyway, we both came here with high expectations and they surpassed them! Everything was so delicious on tap. It really elevates their beers even more. We did two flights and our favorites were the honey orange trippel and 1554 for me, and obviously juice force for my husband but also sweet ride. We both enjoyed the Trippel on draft more than bottled that we've previously had. The place was super busy (5 pm on Sunday of Labor Day weekend) but the line kept moving and the bartenders were friendly. There were a bunch of seating options, both inside and outside. We sat near the river and then moved to the covered pavilion when it got warm. There were a lot of yard games to keep people entertained. Two food trucks also on property which were good. There were a ton of kids but it didn't feel like it was overrun with kids or anything like that. They really nailed the vibe of making it welcome to everyone. There were activities for kids to play and they mainly stayed on the lawn section because of the fun stuff they had for them. It was really nice to see couples, groups of friends, older people, young people, and families all coming together for a good time and some good beer. You don't see places that ace it that well too often! We can't wait to come back!

    A great experience every time I go! The staff is always friendly & helpful. The selection of…read morebeers & seltzers is quite vast. If you can't find something to fit your palette I would be surprised! With the setting right along The French Broad River a very relaxed and chill vibe. They have evolved this brewery over the years and each change has been very good. I have been coming to this brewery since its inception in Asheville in 2016 and have enjoyed every visit. If you are visiting Asheville this is a "must" stop during your stay! In closing, this is for the folks at New Belgium, please bring back the Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough collaboration y'all had in 2016. I believe it will be an exciting 10 year anniversary collaboration! Just sayin'
