Location: Wicked Weed Brewing

Join us at the brewpub for New Beer Thursday with $4 pints of any new beer release all day and live music by Owen Walsh 6-9PM.

Wicked Weed Brewing's Brew Pub at 91 Biltmore Avenue in downtown Asheville is the brewery's original home. Upstairs there's a full restaurant and a bottle shop, and downstairs a taproom and beer garden sit next to the original 15-barrel brewhouse. There are two pet-friendly patios, the pub is family friendly, and the restaurant serves pub food alongside a long list of house beers. It's open daily at noon, until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Asheville locals grab a beer in the downstairs taproom before a show at The Orange Peel up the street, and regulars like the beer garden on warm evenings.
