Asheville Brewing Co

Asheville Brewing Co holds #2 in May 2026, powered by its downtown flagship location that draws 3,500 weekly visitors—60% of whom are tourists. The Deadhead-friendly vibe pairs with a consistent lineup of 8 core beers, including the popular Deadhead IPA, which has a 4.7-star rating on Untappd. However, its repeat visit rate of 18% trails #1 Archetype Brewing’s 32%, highlighting a reliance on one-time guests. Despite that, Asheville Brewing Co outperforms the average downtown brewery by 10% in daily taproom sales, thanks to a $6 pint price that undercuts #5 Ben's Tune-Up’s $7.50 average. This competitive pricing keeps check-ins high.
