We stopped by Ginger's Revenge after dinner to grab a drink, but also to grab some to take back to the hotel It was my first time visiting Ginger's Revenge, they had a comedy show going on, but we didn't have tickets, so didn't stay long, just got our beer to go. It's a big space, used for both brewing and as their tap room. As far as what they serve, it's definitely one of the more unique breweries in town, known for their varities of ginger beer. They also had a small menu of snacks to enjoy while at the brewery. The bartender/staff we dealt with on our short visit were very friendly and helpful, allowing us to mix and match to create a custom to go pack. Definitely a spot I'd visit again next time!
Vibes spot on in this tasting room! Cozy atmosphere for afternoon cocktails and ginger beer. Tried and true regular options like Lime Agave and rotating, seasonal flavors. Service is friendly and fast. Lots of seating - bar, tables with games, sofas, and more. You can also enjoy the pinball machines! Popcorn is the primary food choice. Cute swag available, too!
A ginger lovers dream! Inclusive vibes, live music set up, friendly bartenders, and incredible ginger beers. Plus...Pride Flight during June = ABSOLUTELY YES personal favorite is the cranberry herb.
Great spot and definitely a must stop. Glena is great. She's super friendly and easy to talk to! I always get the flights. Can't go wrong with sampler
I cannot wait to get back to Asheville to visit Ginger's Revenge. it's one of my favorite beers, and that's saying a lot for someone who doesn't really fancy beer. But I do enjoy ginger beer, ciders, & stouts. A friend brought me the seasonal dirty chai release and it is so good. The seasonal releases are going to have me booking a flight real soon.
I might have to plan a move to Asheville if I know they incorporate ginger practically into every aspect of food and drink! I love ginger, it is by far my favorite root to consume. I visited based on a recommendation from a local. You know it's the best when a local would give you free recommendations and constantly raved about its fruity and floral flavors. Yum, sign me up. Upon driving up, I wasn't too sure where the brewery was as it shared a parking lot with other businesses, but I figured I was at the right spot as it was after hours and the more industrial look of the building was screaming, "this is it!" I walked inside and was immediately greeted by one of the comedians. I'm not a local so I had no idea that a comedy show was about to take place. I paid at the door, $36 to enter and my friend went to get a flight. Surprisingly, there was just one more seat left and I snagged it. The comedy show was lackluster, but the ciders were on-point delicious. Some were ultra spicy and a few were mellow. None of them got me buzzed. The ambiance was chill and relaxing. I enjoyed myself immensely.
I would come here again for sure. The srinks were wonderful and the music was great. I sometimes get opinionated about children in establishments too late, but that's me, I want to make an age=bedtime sign for fools. The restrooms were clean. The food truck smelled oh so good.
Best place in Asheville!! Come one come all!!! I came just to add pictures because out of all the times here I assumed I've done a review....GUESS NOT! I leave so happy from here I guess I forget haha. Seriously, this is your Ginger Beer Mecca!!!
We got a Groupon and went with some friends. There were a lot of choices of ginger beer and with the Groupon you got two take home glasses. The ladies working there were super nice. I would recommend coming for a refreshing change from the usual breweries.
A very interesting brewery experience. My daughter has been raving about this place since she vacationed in Asheville. She was right. This staff is very friendly and engaging. The beers are all made of ginger and a combination of other spices. We had a flight of four and each was equally delicious. We brought home the Hibiscus Lavender.
My husband and I love ginger beer, so when we learned about Ginger's Revenge's alcoholic ginger beer, it was a must-stop in Asheville. The taproom is in a warehouse building, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is open most afternoons and has plenty of free parking. It's beautiful inside, and I loved the mural on the wall, which is the company mascot, aptly named Ginger. Our "beer-tender" Tammy quickly started our tab and explained the menu, answering our questions. We ordered a flight of blueberry mosaic, lemondrop dry hop, lime agave, and cranberry herb ginger beers to share. Flights are the way to go, because I couldn't decide on just one flavor. While the blueberry mosaic was my favorite, I would order any of those flavors again. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor of Ginger's Revenge. We purchased several 4-packs to take home, which I recommend, as buying direct helps the independent brewers. My husband and I also bought t-shirts, and I appreciated Tammy searching for an XS shirt for me. If you're into ginger beer or cocktails like Moscow Mules, stop by Ginger's Revenge. It's worth the time and drive.
I'd had a tasting flight of their beers before while attending a comedy show at their club location in South Slope, but this time we went to their brewery location near the French Broad River where they produce, package and serve the full selection of their ginger beers. Alcoholic ginger beer (versus the NA version that is used as a cocktail mixer) is not something you find very often anywhere and AFAIK Ginger's is the only craft brewery in Asheville that produces it. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the sweeter selections in my earlier flight, but I liked the agave lime one a lot and have had it at local bars a couple times since then. This time we took one of their brewery tours that that they do one Saturday afternoon a month. It's not a very lengthy tour and their facility is small enough that you don't walk much, but it was interesting because ginger beer is quite different than regular grain-based beers. We had a good tour guide and learned about their process. At the end you get a 13 oz pour of any of their beers, so much of the ticket price for the tour goes towards that. You can take it on the tour with you or wait and have it at the end. We waited because we wanted to have the beer with food from their guest food truck, Mean Mandy's - Plant Food That's Fire (I'll review them separately, but as a spoiler -- the food was really good). The beers we chose were from their seasonal limited production set: dry-hopped passionfruit and black cherry Thai chili. The passionfruit one was fantastic: you could taste the passionfruit but it wasn't overwhelming -- not too sweet and with some hops in this case, which also came through in the backend of the taste. It was a bit like a cross between a cider and a beer. The black cherry chili one was a whole other thing, notes of cherry up front, but then -- be warned -- a really potent kick of hot chilis in the 2nd half of the taste. If you haven't tried ginger beer, you should, and this is a great place to try it.

Very cool place to hang out and try something different in respect to a brewery vibe. Located not too far from New Belgium this establishment has many different types of refreshing beverages on tap. The servers are friendly and will converse with you if you want to engage. Also, they have decent swag to select from in case you want a memory of your visit. Also, if you are a fan of the band Rush you must play the pinball game they have on site. Been here our last two visits to Asheville and made this a go to stop! read more

Unfortunately you can only find Gingers Revenge in the Carolinas and I do not believe they ship. I am not a beer person, however, on a hot day there is nothing like a super cold Gingers Revenge. The taste is not over powering nor hoppy...more like a ginger beer. While globe trotting through the Carolinas I made my way to the brewery and was not disappointed. We tried the flight, which presented four different flavors...The brewery has bar service and plenty of seating and old style games like pinball....onenof my old time favorites.... read more
Wow! Everything this place had was amazing! I'm familiar with the N/A ginger beer that is used in cocktails, but I've never had alcoholic ginger beer. The location is industrial and service is friendly and fast. The atmosphere is chill and one that's nice to linger in. We are huge craft beer people, so it's awesome to find a place that is delicious and different. read more

I'm not sure who Ginger is, and why she wants revenge, but thankfully for us her version of vengeance is making alcohol with copious amounts of ginger root added in the fermentation process providing us with a vast array of flavors and deliciousness! My wife and I were on a weekender trip to Asheville during the fall and were in the mood to try a few of the alternative versions of the craft beer scene, which is so robust in Asheville. Our first stop was a cidery, our second stop was here! The place makes great use of a very old warehouse down by the river, I suspect it used to be a timber mill of some kind. On the inside lots of the original elements remain, but modern touches have been added to create not only a large and functional brewing space but also an attractive bar to congregate around! We wanted to try all the things on offer, and ended up getting two flights. Our favorites were the Cucumber Lime Basil Peppermint, Hibiscus Lavender, Lime Agave, and the Fall Harvest. I'm pretty sure my wife would have drank the fall harvest for the rest of her life. It definitely stood out, and she loves those flavors. I personally enjoyed the Pear Rosemary though she wasn't as big a fan of it. We would definitely come back here on our next trip to see what is in season! read more

Love their out of the box beer. I wish they sold it here in Birmingham, Alabama. Can't wait to go back! read more
Deliciously spicy hard ginger beer! A group of us were out and about in Asheville, looking at art and finding places to drink. We first saw an offering from Ginger's Revenge as a guest tap at Wedge Brewing. I thought that "Ginger's Revenge" was the name of the beer, not the brand. But then the bartender told us it was a local spot with a BUNCH more options, so I immediately checked where it was and how we could get ourselves there ASAP. It wasn't exactly walkable, so we drove on over. It looks like a warehouse from the outside, but there is a decently sized parking lot and when you get inside it is welcoming and stylized. A Yelp check-in gets you a free sticker too, so if you are a sticker slut like I am...don't forget to do that! I did a flight, as usual. I had a hard time narrowing down what I wanted to try, but it turns out the group was keen for sharing, so we all got to try most of the offerings. They go heavy on the ginger in the ginger beer, it has a bite to it. If you don't like that kind of thing...you will not like their offerings. Their flagship flavors are great, but I really liked the Fall Harvest and Lavender offerings the most. We all ended up buying some 4-packs to take home with us. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a delightful gosh dang time here. I cannot wait to return on my next visit to Asheville! read more

I drove all the way to Asheville to drink at Gingers. It's a small brewery that isn't always available where I live and it was worth it! Can't wait to do it again. read more

These ginger bears are on the lighter side rather than being robust in flavor. My personal favorite was the cranberry herb beer. I feel like it is probably seasonal so hurry in to try it. The tasting room is set up with quaint cozy areas to hang out in. The staff is very knowledgeable about the beers and the community. We like that they come up with new seasonal flavors every time we go back to Asheville and we want to try them all! read more

This was my first visit and I could not have been more impressed! Being new to ginger beer, I was floored by the complexity and variety of the flavors! We ordered 2 flights, which are really large servings, and our favorites were: Cucumber Lime Basil Peppermint, Hibiscus Lavender, Lime Agave, and the Fall Harvest. I wish I had purchased the Fall Harvest to take home--it's incredible! They were also great about COVID safety protocols. Staff stayed masked, sanitized counters between customers, and explained their protocols to us. It's a really large, open space with high ceilings. The tables were well spaced out. I would absolutely visit again! read more

I was so excited to try it here after having their beer on draft in Charlotte. I was thrilled that it was such a cute place!! Several ginger beers on tap plus they sell crowlers to go. There was also a food truck outside! Loved the atmosphere, tables and couches plus a bar. Servers were super friendly and made great recommendations! read more
I'll preface this by saying we swung by here to pick up a to go order for the night, so though we didn't actually stay/enjoy the atmosphere, I kind of wish we would have! Very dog friendly - they're allowed on leash inside which is nice. Several picnic style tables, some high tops as well inside. Parking right outside the brewery. Great vibe. Check their website for which food truck is there that day/what hours - there was a vegan one there when we stopped. Curbside ordering was super easy - just called and spoke to someone, they told me what 4 packs & growlers they had available that day, then I placed the order and swung by to get it. You can either call their number for curbside service when you get there, or just walk in (mask on) yourself, which I did. Gave my credit card and was on my way in a few minutes with my beer! Taste - awesome for us gluten free junkies. Still tastes like a beer but with a light ginger kick to it. We tried the chocolate orange which was awesome, but my favorite was the original (also liked the lime agave one - tasted like a fresh mule for any mule lovers out there). Remember everything does have to be refrigerated, so make sure you have a cooler if you're stopping by to grab stuff before a long car ride. You can also bring your growler back & they'll only charge you for a fill (the first time they charge you for both the growler & the fill, understandably so... but the growler has a cool imprint on it, so it's worth it in my opinion). TLDR - cool (but quaint) atmosphere, dog friendly, *usually* vegan eats, gluten free beer. Would definitely come back! read more
I absolutely love ginger in just about any form and this was my first time at Ginger's Revenge so I was really excited. Can I set up a payment plan? You can have Terri everything else on The place is in the lower level of the Buxton Hall/Catawba building, and has a cool industrial vibe. The staff is really nice and very knowledgeable about the products. I ordered the OG- the Original and have to say I really enjoyed it. It was light with a nice ginger spice but not overwhelmingly so. They have a bunch of interesting flavors which I am looking forward to trying like Caramelized Fig and Vanilla and Serrano Lime Agave! read more
Really cool find! I personally love ginger beer, and wanted to check this place out. We lucked upon a Groupon for two flights, and two growlers! We enjoyed the flights in the taproom, where there was great seating and games! Also awesome artwork! Then got our growlers filled to take with us! I also collect enamel pins and was super excited to get one here, as well as very interesting stickers! Our group of 4 loved trying all the different styles to n a lovely warm October day! Highly recommend! read more

Thanks so much for taking time to talk about your visit with us!…
Our tenth brewery stop in Western North Carolina for our recent weekend getaway found us at Ginger's Revenge in Woodfin, just north of downtown Asheville. My lady, who has Celiac, really wanted to come here because the beers they produce are gluten free... like completely gluten free, not just gluten removed, and made with ginger (she likes ginger too). So after galavanting around downtown Asheville for the better part of two days, we made our way over to Ginger's Revenge where we ordered a flight from the bar. Having sampled the dry hopped, fall harvest, blueberry mosaic, and hibiscus lavender, we chose on a four-pack of the latter because that was our favorite. Of course, we had the Lime Agave already from Eluvium in nearby Weaverville, and that was a tasty beverage too, so you can say this was a tie amongst favorites. The location comprises both the taproom with the production area behind the partition where the bar is located. The taproom is l-shaped with the north wall comprising tables and chairs, as well as lounge seating that extends around the bar. It's a nice-looking spot with delicious ginger beer that has a very chill ambiance. read more

If you are a fan of ginger beer, I highly recommend this place! All the flavors are just perfect. The patio is shaded, dog-friendly, and has some games to play. They offer seasonal and year round flavors of ginger beer. Bonus: they do offer flights! read more
No complaints for me here! Friendly service and awesome ginger beer! We got a couple of flights and I can tell you everything we had was absolutely delicious! It made me feel good that I was drinking "healthy" ginger alcohol that was easy on the tummy :D This is definitely a place to come for people who love beer and also for people who don't like beer because some of these beer literally tasted like some yummy cocktails! I'm more of a IPA, all hops kind of girl tho but these ginger beer were still great Just wished they serve some real food to go with those yummy brews! read more

What a cool place! I love the artwork and how committed the staff is to safety and COVID precautions. They have a super interesting menu with flavor combinations I've never had in a drink before like orange and chocolate or fig and vanilla. We we're stopping in on our way to dinner so I ordered a flight to get the widest exposure to these unique ginger beers while most of the group ordered single pours. My favorites were probably the original and the chocolate and orange ginger beers, but it seems like their menu is regularly changing which is so fun! They also have an online ordering system and food trucks on Sundays in addition to plenty of parking. I would definitely be a regular here if I lived in Asheville! read more
