Mid sized, with ample outside eating and drinking options available.. Get a spot on the street, enjoy the friendly service and plentiful tap and canned beer options. Cans to go can be found in the smaller merch. Store that is part of this operation. Burger, soups, salads and assorted sandwiches. I enjoyed a freshie hazy IPA, and a bowl of some tasty chili verde.
Worthy spot with the guys or for a lunch date.

Parking catch as can on street. First brewery to open in Asheville, at 11am daily, so I go for a great early lunch and a beer before hitting the other breweries in town. Great indoor and outdoor space. Excellent service. Really a restaurant that has a diverse tap list. The beer is always good and all the food I’ve had has been great. To go beer and merch in an attached shop. When in town, this is where I start my day.

Good experience. Good service. Good food. The beers? Well...
I wished I would have visited this place in the early days when sours were just becoming popular. I found the genre overworked now - about 90% of sours leave me with one word - Same. The same goes for the two flights I had here. All were good but none were fantastic and above any brewed by others.
I think the popularity of Asheville along with Covid has turned Wicked Weed into a tourist trap. It's just a place "you must go" if your in Asheville just because everyone else says so.
I would advise anyone visiting Asheville for the first time to keep Wicked Weed on your B-list. With 35+ breweries in the area one is likely to find several of them a better place to visit and probably have better beers.

Visited this brewery in the fall of 2021. Was on our list of breweries to go to and it did not disappoint. In my opinion the best brewery in Asheville. Their beers are all above average. Service was excellent and very knowledgeable on their beer. I particularly liked there flight selection. Their food was awesome. Pet friendly, A must visit establishment.

Nice place, well organized, and busy. Did not order food, but the beer was good as was the selection. Lots of space and common tables. There's an attached bottle shop with lots of cold beer to go.

Our final stop before leaving Asheville. Went for a late night snack and a few beers.
This is a big spot. Lots of room even with the socially distanced tables. If it was a bit warmer we would have sat outside. Maybe next time.
Our server was spot on and friendly. Was quick with refills and to bring our check when we were ready to leave.
We just did a couple of appetizers and fries, but I was happy with the quality.
We both liked our beers. Served in correct glassware at correct temps.
This was a fine stop but there are other Asheville spots I will hit first.

Stopped by for lunch on a Friday. Had to wait in line for about ten minutes. The food and beer menus are extensive, with the beer menu dominated by IPA's and sours. Wait staff was on point. Tried the Veggie burger, my first one ever and 2 beers. The Freak of Nature IPA and the Smoked Amber Lager, both very good. Worth a visit while in downtown Asheville.

Pretty diverse menu but primarily sours. Didn’t get food but people next to us did and it looked amazing (they said it was). Must hit spot when in Asheville!

We visited Wicked Weed on 7/24/19 and 7/25/19. The place had a nice crowd on both visits. I was very impressed with the large selection of beers as well as the food. The waitress was very helpful as well. I know they are owned by InBev, but if you find yourself in Asheville, it’s worth a stop.

Loved this sour! Refreshing why just enough taste of passion fruit yet sour enough to make it an easy drink.

vibe - lots of options, sit down restaurant, hang out bar downstairs along with outdoor games and chillax
quality - great beer for the most part
service - if you have a table the service is great otherwise there is a line for beer which is fine
selection - tons of options for anything you want including mixed drinks or wine if you dont want any beer
food - fried fish was great and so was okra

Nice vibe at Wicked Weed Brewing. Good menu, nice variety . We had an attentive and knowledgable waitress. I was disappointed that they did not have many sours on their beer list. They had so many more at the Funkatorium. There is a nice size outdoor eating area.
