About the Adventure

Asheville’s Craft Beer Scene
Asheville, North Carolina has quickly become synonymous with great beer. With an amazing selection of microbreweries, you’re sure to find the perfect brew that hits your taste buds just right. Many of Asheville’s breweries offer outdoor seating or rooftop bars that give you a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and serve as community meeting places for travellers and locals alike. Some say it’s the pH of the water that makes Asheville’s beer so good, but all we know is that here craft beer is a lifestyle and we want to help you experience it like a local.
Itinerary
Start your tour at Asheville Adventure Company’s shop in North Asheville. Here your tour guide will get you acquainted with your bike, talk you through bike safety, etiquette, and your favorite beer styles.
Your guide will take you to Asheville’s best breweries to find that perfect mug of suds in the South Slope. You’ll visit four of Asheville’s most popular breweries including Wedge Brewing Co and One World Brewing. Other breweries we’ve stopped at include New Belgium, Funkatorium, and more depending on the specific tastes of the group.
Our first stop of the day is usually Wedge Brewing Co, a local favorite that led the transformation of the River Arts District. At Wedge we’ll have our first beer and toast the day to come. After emptying our glasses we will move on to our favorite breweries in Asheville, making sure to offer plenty of local insights along the way. In between breweries check out several of Asheville’s most interesting neighborhoods and learn the history of the town we love. The tour concludes at One World Brewing’s speakeasy and the historic Vance Monument in the heart of Downtown Asheville.
This brewery tour will help you gain a unique perspective on this vibrant town and you can leave knowing you spent the afternoon drinking several of the great beers Asheville has to offer (all while cruising around leisurely on our awesome eBikes).
Equipment
Each participant will have use of one of our Giant Vida eBikes and a bicycle helmet, all of which is thoroughly sanitized to keep you safe. The minimum height requirement for the bikes is 5’1. Using these eBikes is fun and makes tackling Asheville’s hilly terrain easy. Our bikes ride more like a traditional bicycle as opposed to a motorcycle, so as long as you can ride a bike, you’ll be able to use the eBike. Note that there is no storage on the bike, so you’ll want to have a small backpack or daypack to hold your phone, wallet, water bottle, snack, etc. Again, there’s minimal exertion with the eBike so you don’t have to wear athletic clothes, just something you can comfortably ride in. Be advised that we strongly discourage flip flops for this tour.
