About AVL Beer Week
Resilience in every sip
Learn About AVL Beer Week
AVL Beer Week is more than a celebration—it’s a statement of resilience, creativity, and community. This year, every pint poured, every ticket sold, and every event attended contributes to the revitalization of Asheville’s beloved craft beverage industry. Whether you’re a local looking to give back or a visitor wanting to experience the best of Asheville’s beer culture, this year’s festival is one you won’t want to miss.
Our Vision
Collaboratively organized with the Asheville Brewers Alliance by a dedicated group of volunteers from the local beer industry, we offer a variety of unique events including tastings, festivals, dinners, talks, tours, shows and happenings, Asheville-style.
Our Mission
To celebrate local beer—to taste different styles of beer; to pair beer with a smorgasbord of delectable foods; to explore beer’s connection to fellow artisan industries; to promote our vibrant culinary, outdoor, and art cultures.
Our Goal
To showcase all that Asheville has to offer through the beverage production community. This festival is not just for craft breweries. We will intentionally include local and regional bars, restaurants, hotels, cideries, distilleries, creatives & artists.
