We both loved the theming in there - macabre and reminded me a bit of the ruin bars in Budapest. Very cool aesthetic. We'd love to return on our next visit and try more of their beers.

There were lots of picnic table to sit and the kids loved playing in the vintage Volkswagen van retrofitted into a seating area. The beers consisted of IPAs and imperial stouts. They also have house-made wines and ciders. This time we only sat outside, but the inside has a cool, moody vibe. It's dimly lit with long wooden tables that make it feel like a hidden, gothic dive bar. It is a totaly different than the outside. Parking can be a bit challenging, there is street parking or paid lots nearby.

We did not stumble upon Wicked Weed Brewing but came specifically to it, driving a long way from…read moreour cabin rental, after reading about the place and looking at the menu. I was very excited to have lunch there! Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant service experience and this is on what I'm basing my review. The beer was fine and the environment of the restaurant was good. My husband and I parked nearby and, unfortunately, on the very short walk to the restaurant, our 7 months old puppy got scared from two revving motorcycles. So when we got to the brewery the puppy was shaking ...we sat in a quiet section outside in the corner and the puppy hid under the chair and curled up, still shaking. Our waiter came and was very animated, talking in a very loud voice. There was absolutely nobody else in our section and it was very quiet, there was no reason to shout. I asked him very politely if he could please lower his voice because the puppy is scared already. There were a lot of humane ways in which he could have responded. Instead, he chose a weird response - no, he can't lower his voice, because "there will be a lot of people here, this place fills out, and my loud voice is needed for the customers". What? We would be long gone by then. I didn't understand how this applied to us. Then he proceeded to say that, actually, since there were two recent bite accidents at the restaurant, he's now afraid of dogs and would like us to move "downstairs". I showed him the shaking curled up 7 month old puppy under the chair, who was also on a short leash strapped around my waist, and told him that there was no way he was at any risk of being bitten. Not to mention the puppy was a good distance from him and would t have been able to reach him. So he said ok and we stayed there. This interaction right away left me lose interest in a full lunch, so we looked at the beers. As we were trying to pick, the waiter started telling my husband "Just pick and if you don't like it, piss it on the floor, I'll take it off the bill and give you another! I don't care! I'm not paying! The people whose name is written over there (pointing to the door) are paying". He continued repeating versions of that as we picked beer. At that time I realized there was an odor of marihuana in the air and I believe it came from him as it got stronger when he approached and disappeared when he got away. As he brought our beers, I asked him "what did you say is your name?" He responded, "I didn't give you my name and I wouldn't. It's 2026 and anyone can quickly find anything about you from your name" I was trying to be friendly after our initial spat over the voice but he wasn't having it. He walked away. We finished our beers and fries, got the check and left. On the bill, I saw the name Matthew H. listed The interactions with the waiter left us with a negative overall experience. He was paranoid, erratic and I did not feel comfortable to stay for a full lunch as we had planned. I had originally written a version of this review which lacked all the details and which had stronger wording. There was a complaint about the review (I assume from the restaurant) so I removed it and I'm replacing it with this one which states the facts. This was our experience and I didn't like it.

Almost every beer on the menu is a split batch fermented with two different yeast strains to showcase the resulting differences. It's a great concept, even if you're not into brewing. In terms of the food, it seems like the really leaned into providing something good, well-balanced, and sometimes takes advantage of the yeast and beer being cultivated on site. I had a house salad and some dilly beans for lunch. The house salad was fresh and extremely well balanced. I'm glad they had something vegetable centric available. The dilly beans were good, but quite a bit for a single human. They're probably the type of thing you would want to split among friends. I actually showed up for an event in the evening where they served pizza using dough fermented with one of their yeast strains. That was truly excellent. Nicely balanced, not over the top, with a deeply flavorful crust. If you're in Asheville, I would consider this a must visit destination.

Mrs. K. and I took the two seats at the end and I walked up to the bar to order drinks and dinner. A pint of the "American Style Lager" for me and their "Spicy!" ginger beer that Mrs. K. said was good but not all that spicy. Less than ten minutes later, my chicken wings arrived. They sell them as "a pound" which was good because these were very small wings. Small, but tasty in a sweet/spicy sauce and I ate nearly all of them while slowly sipping that very crushable beer. When it was done, back into the Sprinter van and off to figure out where we're parking for the night. I had tried to make a reservation on their RV parking app but they're booked two or three weeks out! Note: The restrooms are upstairs and they have an elevator.

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!

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!
