With brewmaster Doug Riley at the helm, the beer at Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company is great “beer drinker’s beer”. The ever addictive Shiva I.P.A., Houdini ESP, and, this webmaster’s favorite, Red Light I.P.A. tie in perfectly to their wonderful pizza and $3 movies. Often called the “Brew N’ View” by locals Asheville Pizza is a one of a kind experience that only Asheville could foster. Asheville Pizza is now completely non-smoking. http://ashevillebrewing.com 675 Merrimon Ave. / ph 254-1281 and 77 Cox Avenue , Asheville / ph 828.255-4077
Craggie is a brewery with a heart, which is evident from the causes it supports, the vendors it does business with, and the way it inspires giving. Craggie sells beer with a conscience – organic in craft and whenever possible, brewed with local ingredients. From building the brewhouse with as much reclaimed or recycled equipment as possible, to discounting Willibechers for those who choose to donate to select non-profits, Craggie Brewing’s Public House is a place where the community can gather to have a good time while doing good for others. 197 Hilliard Ave., Asheville 828-254-0360. http://craggiebrewingco.com/

Provided to the Asheville community by Jack-of –the- Wood ~ a cozy, Celtic style pub located in Downtown.
