Great beer and seltzers
Carrie V.

Well this was unexpectedly amazing! We were staying near Biltmore Village and wanted something casual and within walking distance from our hotel. Hillman Beer checked the boxes. The outdoor seating was nice, the staff was really friendly and there was a good crowd when we arrived. I noticed a lot of people were getting the kale salad as their side so I opted for that. It was really good! Overall the food was way better than your average bar food and we would definitely go back the next time we're in town!

It has been 3 years since we last visited Asheville. We are back and made Hillman our first stop of the month. It's as if nothing changed, discounting the surrounding destruction from Hurricane Helene. Hillman Beer is still a calm oasis in the midst of all that. My wife ordered food, a turkey wrap that was huge and accompanied by a delicious kale salad (with golden raisins, pumpkin seeds and a sprinkling of cheese). She took half her meal home. We each tried a pint to start, pilsner for her, kölsch for me and enjoyed them. Then we put together a flight with dry Irish stout, lager, hazy IPA and Summer Crush a brew that defies styles and descriptions. You just have to try it before it disappears. We sat at a picnic table by the creek where it was quiet and peaceful and interacted with other patrons, especially their dogs. It's good to be back. We won't be strangers.

First time at Hillman. It was perfect for our visit to Asheville. We met some friends there and sampled multiple different kinds of beer. Everything was amazing! I recommend the Porter and the strawberry saison. We ordered a few different foods, including pimento cheese and the chicken sandwich. Both were amazing and it made me want to lick the bowl. I definitely recommend this place!

Patty Melt with chips and ginger beer

Walked in randomly after hiking the Catawba Falls. Our order was taken immediately. We decided to sit at the bar. Our food came out super fast and fresh! Everyone that was working was friendly, kind & smiling. The restaurant was very clean. Because we sat near the bar we experience a few more flies than what we would like but all in all it was a great experience. The ginger beer was amazing as well!

Pretzels and Beer Cheese

Tried out Hillman Beer, while perusing different breweries in the Asheville area. Hillman is a nice little spot that offers a good selection of parking and a mix of beer and food options. The location was busy and staff was nice. The interior was furnished with a lot of high top tables to accompany different sized groups. We ordered a pretzel and beer cheese, and were thoroughly surprised by the size and that there were two. The beer was beer, and they did have seltzer options which is always a nice surprise.

Cuban, fries, ginger beer
Shelby D.

With family in town we had to hit some breweries. Hillman was one of the first we thought of, as it was closeby Biltmore/Village. The cubannnnn was so good, that and their pretzel! The waiter who brought us our food was nice and had fun with us, and the relatives enjoyed watching whatever game was on. Very chill, easy parking, in and outdoor seating which is a blessing with small kids

Our first time here was their 9 year anniversary party. I had perused their website prior and was disappointed that the two beers I'd selected -- a wit and a Hefeweizen -- were not on tap. Instead I selected the Strawboobies Saison. Music was playing and we were lucky enough to grab a small table for two where we could hear the music but were out of the sun. For my next beer I had the Currant Mistake which I liked better than the Saison. Husband enjoyed his two beers as well. Lastly, we both ordered the pork bowl which had a lot of flavor and was a good portion size. Bartenders were friendly and attentive -- you order and pay at the bar. Overall a great spot to hang out for beer, music and food.

The only negative thing I have to say about this place is that it is in Asheville and I am not. This is a new favorite brewery for me! It was full of fun vibes. The beer was fantastic (I got a flight and each one was great!), the food was delicious (you MUST try the pimento cheese dip), and the server was amazing! I can't wait to come back and try other beer and food!

Irish Stout
Jennie N.

From the open air to the draft beer and delicious food, Hillman was a great bet. I loved the Irish Stout, chocolate notes with the right amount of bitter. My husband had the Red Ale, also a classic, malty flavor. Food ranged from a grilled cheese to three types of burgers. All of it good to the last bite.

Norman L.

Been back several times for wing night, burger night and just for beers. All the food has been the best we had at a brewery so far. Staff is friendly and the place is always busy. Parking can be a bit challenging some times. A little loud inside when packed and especially if they have live music. Defines in our top five breweries in Asheville if not our favorite...

Maritza D.

Always amazing! Freshest burger. The ingredients are fresh as well as the bread. Our second time here. The service is quick, you just order at the bar, with our without a tab. Ambiance is cute. Family style for those with big parties. There's also outdoor seating and seating for just 2. We love stopping here on our way home. The service is always quick and efficient.

HB signature burger
Madison T.

Super awesome brewery right outside of Biltmore village. Indoor and outdoor seating is offered, it's dog friendly, and the burger and wings were delicious! My favorite beer was the fall flavored one but my boyfriend favored the cider. We sat outside by the creek with friends. Will definitely return! Staff was lovely.

Kristin C.

We were originally going to another place around the corner but their kitchen was closing early so we stumbled upon Hillman and we were so happy with the unexpected detour. The vibe is really cool both inside and outside. The beers are really good and liked their cider too. It's cool that they make their own cider and hard seltzer. The food was really good and it's definitely a place I would return next time I'm in town. Bartenders were really friendly and the food came out super fast. It was amazing to hear about how much hurricane damage they had and how they rebuilt so quickly. Definitely go support them!

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'

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.

It's quite possible if I'd have visited during the day that my review would've been 5 stars. However, we came at night (well... winter night it was like 6pm?). It was dark. First, the parking lot. It looked like a scene from a horror movie where everyone gets killed. There was no actual parking lot, just some grass along the road where people were parked. There was a chainlink fence gate that was barely open, with an overgrown sign, and it looked like you were walking into a haunted factory. We walked in the brewery and it was only light by faint lights and candles. We jokingly started calling it the MURDER BREWERY in a spooky voice. I see the beautiful plants in the pictures in reviews here and we saw none of that. I have less-than-stellar night vision and actually held onto my wife's shoulders for her to lead me around. They also have a lot of tables without chairs. Maybe that's trendy, but really I want to sit and chat while I try your beer. I don't want to have to stand around. It cleared out before we left and we got a seat eventually, but the table/chair ratio was way out of whack. All this time and I haven't spoken about the beer yet. It was pretty good. My BIL loved the Mummy Cat. We all had some pretty decent beers. However, we bolted after not too long due to it just not being a great place to hang out in the dark. Our friends enjoyed the photos we took and the catchphrase ANTIQUITY DAWNS AT MODERNITY'S TWILIGHT likely stolen from a 14 year old emo kid's journal that was on their less than useful website. There are no beer lists on it. Literally just that goofy saying and their hours.
