Cellarest Beer Project

Cellarest was a fun little place. It's tiny, but they had outdoor seating and a food truck on-site. The gal serving up the brew was awesome, fun, and friendly. She knew all about her brews and was engaging.I didn't fall in love with the brews we tried, but they were all tasty and fresh. In a town with as many breweries as Asheville it's hard not to find a bunch of repeats with different names. That wasn't the case on our visit here.

The beers are delicious, and the variety and the creativity of styles make them unique. Plus the beertender was very friendly and helpful and friendly when picking up what to have from their menu. The place is very nice and got lucky again with the nice weather, they have outdoor seating where you can enjoy your drinks. They don't have food, but the place on the next corner would bring your order to you if you let them know you're at the brewery. What did I drink? - Lumina, West Coast Pilsner 6% ABV- Zissou, French Lager 5.5% ABV- Bridgid, Maibock 7.4% ABV - Syzygy, Schwarzbier 4.5% ABV

Cellarest Beer Project was a fun spot to grab a beer at. We decided to have two rounds, it was the apricate for me and the yatta for my husband. Both were great choices. They switch the beers that they brew up so I will have to visit again soon. Cheers!

There are already like eleventy-thousand reviews on Asheville breweries asking where to go on their beer city tours (really, try the search; I counted). And, I've already shared that the best brewery in Asheville is not in Asheville (in my opinion that honor goes to Zebulon Artisan Ales in nearby Weaverville).So, now it's time to share a newer favorite of the locals that is actually within city boundaries. You'll still need to venture outside of central downtown a mile or so to eclectic West Asheville to find Cellarest Beer Project. When you grab some nearby street parking along Haywood Rd and stroll past their outdoor seating to enter via the large open garage doors don't squint too hard at their draft list trying to find a hazy DDHs or a Carmen Miranda hat's inspired smoothie sour.These guys focus on fermenting, lagering, and aging beer on various woods using locally sourced and foraged ingredients to produce delicate beers like a cherrywood fermented English ale, the latest "could-be-a-trend-but-probably-won't" Cold IPA, or the Acacia-fermented and Oak-aged dark lager pictured above. But, maybe the high-ABV saison, sessionable stout, or smoked lager they have on draft right now look more up your alley. Whatever you choose it'll be fragrant, complex, and most likely under 7% ABV, so try a couple.

Cute little spot! We went on a grand brewery crawl, and loved this stop! We enjoyed a few tasters since they did not do flights. They had a wide selection of interesting beers available, and some chips, no foot or restaurant. But had a beautiful outdoor patio and a cool indoor setting! Definitely a fun and tasty stop on our self made tour!

Looking for a break from the grunge and funk of Asheville? Step into a clean and trendy brewery with beer/wine blends, light beers, sours, saisons, and food trucks, surrounded by people who look cool but shower regularly. Thank goodness.

Brand new beer garden in West Asheville. Hubby and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there was a good crowd. Most seating is outside picnic tables. They play excellent music and the crowd is a mix of everything- very dog friendly. The staff is really friendly.Started off with Izles, a fantastic Irish Dry Stout. They also offer wine. From the table you can order food from a nearby restaurant (WALK) and have it delivered.They don't have a parking lot so it's taking a chance on street parking.

Super cool spot in West Asheville. It is right in the same area of some other bars, breweries, and restaurants and has a very nice outside area. When we arrived they had a food truck and a band playing but you could easily escape inside to hang out with your friends. They also had a selection of games to play which I always am a fan of and their drink selection was pretty nice. I really liked this area because there were people of all ages and walks of life and plenty of families hanging out and enjoying the nice weather and a beverage.

Visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this gem. Now, I want to go every day, but I know I should explore--lol. Andrea was my bartender and she was so friendly and helpful. I settled on a tasty Blonde Ale. I also had a chance to talk to owner Mark about his business plan. Don't worry about food either. You can grab some at the on-site food truck (a different truck each day) or at the restaurant next door. They have cool gear for sale, too.

Great beer A wonderful Pilsner, pet friendly, AC inside & pets allowed Great outside as well Great staff Small & cozy
