The River Arts District Brewing Company

Great beer, great ambiance. What feels like a secret brewery, hidden in the back end of the Rivers Arts District. This is a fun place to hide in the summer or escape the winter winds.There are even gluten-free options available at all times throughout the year. The beers do rotate. Service is always friendly and quick.Post Helene- the brewery was a great resource for the community, from free food to free supplies to any who needed it. You can't love this place anymore than I already do!Great place for families, as it's mostly outdoors, but if the weather is bad, there's plenty of space to hide out.

Super new and absolutely adorable little brewery. We went here because we saw it on the way to the Grey Eagle. I asked the worker how long they've been around and it's only been seven weeks. I'm so excited to go back and try it again.It has great aesthetics with beautiful lights. The Beer is pretty decent and I appreciate they have nonalcoholic options. I do wish they had seltzers or something else. Wine was a bit much for me at that time haha. I needed a little break so I got a kombucha. Satisfying. Excellent patio and super sweet workers. The worker I'd love to come back and try flight sometime soon.

Absolutely loved this place. Try the bug juice and add your favorite flavors. Have some fresh-popped popcorn and add your favorite flavors!

Great relaxed place. Plenty of beer choices, we got 2 flights, one of which was the Bug Juice with different flavors. Bartender Sean was super nice and knowledgable. Free popcorn and the Mexican place across the road delivers food to the brewery.

We saw on Yelp that there was a new brewery in the River Arts District so of course, had to check it out. Beer was VERY GOOD. My wife had the Loudmouth Soup a DIPA and I had the Barbaloot which was a brown ale. The location is so cool and PLENTY of room either inside or outside. We chose the outside upper deck and you'd think we were sitting in the mountains drinking some cold ones. We were there on a Wednesday so no food truck but they said by all means bring in some food (they said even with food trucks you can bring in food). We walked across the street to the pizza place and brought it back over. Just a VERY PLEASANT atmosphere with VERY PLEASANT bartenders with VERY PLEASANT tasting and relaxing beers. Bottom line....a VERY PLEASANT brewery!!!

I would recommend coming here. Right next to ton of studios. Grab a beer and checkout studios for art. Great outdoor sitting area

Had the pleasure visiting RAD Brewing the week they opened and I can say with certainty, this brewery will be a regular stop for our family. The setting is perfect (family and dog friendly) right on the entrance to the River Arts District across from staples like the Grey Eagle and All Souls Pizza. Rustic yet classy indoor space with great options for sitting outdoors either on the elevated platform or down at the many picnic tables. Despite being very much "in town" it sits in a sheltered holler reminding you you're still in the mountains. I was able to sample through all the beers they had on tap and there is something for everyone from a super clean and fresh brown ale to hazy and double IPA. Even a light summer ale for people who prefer something a bit less heavy and a fruitier Belgian style.Highly recommend.

Great beer, friendly service and fun open mike night on Tuesdays. Patrons all very chill and friendly.

Stopped in for a brief rest and a beer while we ate lunch on our way through town. There was a fundraiser going on and the place was jamming. Quick service and some tasty beers. Friendly staff and very cute environment. Cheers!

Great addition to Asheville! Wonderful atmosphere, friendly faces, rotating food trucks!
