The biergarden at the Funkatorium is our go-to spot in Asheville. It's right in downtown AVL. The primary Wicked Weed location is a couple blocks away from the Funkatorium, and it's also a great spot!

We highly recommend checking out New Belgium while you're in Asheville. Fat Tire and Voodoo Ranger are some of our favorites!
