Located in in the River Arts District, The Wedge is one of the local breweries in Asheville. In addition to some of the best beer being brewed in Asheville (be sure to try The Golem), The Wedge has a wonderful patio to enjoy the sun while you have a few beers. Great service and atmosphere have made this one of the top beer destinations in Asheville. It's also a great place to bring your kids and dogs... be sure to get there early on the weekend if you want a seat on the patio.

I gave the food a 2.0 because occasionally there is a food vendor set up serving food.

During the summer, they also show movie on Saturday evenings.

Wedge is a bit hard to find. It is tucked away down the dirt path beside the RR tracks. You can park on Roberts St. and walk down the stairs, but it is better to head away from the bridge on Roberts, turn right after the Wedge building onto Lyman and then immediately right again onto the path. You can then park at the outside seating area.

The inside is nice an spacious for a tasting room. Long angular tables allow patrons to plop down and enjoy the view of the rows of fermenters. No food, well, peanuts. Also no smoking inside, or at least none during my visit. I suspect this place might be a little chilly during the winter with a single overhead heater, but it was comfortable despite early summer heat. The music comes from a Bose Wave and while not the most hi-tech the sound fills the space.

It is not quite fair to judge selection at this point since only two beers were on at the time of the visit. More are coming: Pilsner, Golem, Maibock, Wit and Pale Ale should all be flowing by mid-July into August and they plan to have 7 to 8 styles year round. A stout is planned for the Fall.

Pints are $3.50, Growlers are $13.50 and refills are $10.50. Pitchers are $10.

Service was top notch during my visit. I plan to return often.
