The Whale Collective
What you need to know
The Whale Collective is Asheville’s first craft beer collective, bringing together some of the world’s best and most unique beers under one roof. Located in West Asheville, it offers a cozy, art-filled taproom with a massive selection of brews ranging from German pilsners to wild sours and rare global finds. The vibe is laid-back and dog-friendly with an open patio and food available from the neighboring Haywood Common Kitchen.
Local's Tip
Try a flight to sample the wide variety, and keep an eye out for exclusive “Whale” brews brewed in collaboration with local and regional breweries. Join weekend events like karaoke, live music on the patio, or their seasonal Oktoberfest for authentic Asheville vibes. Friendly dogs are always welcome. They also carry wine, mead, sake, cider, & more.
What the locals say
"Locals dig The Whale for its carefully curated beer selection that stands out from typical taprooms. It’s a place to discover unexpected favorites or enjoy tried-and-true styles with friends. The space regularly hosts live music, trivia, and community events, making it a vibrant hangout spot that feels like a true Asheville local’s secret. "Needing a good beer? Need to find a hard-to-find beer? Well, you’re looking in the right place. Great list of bottles and drafts from everywhere. Very impressed with the atmosphere as well. Plenty of outdoor seating & indoor options as well." - Justin C.
