Burial Beer Co. Forestry Camp Taproom (Craft Beer & Brewery in Asheville NC)

Burial Beer Co.’s Forestry Camp Taproom in Asheville feels like a time‑traveling workshop for beer lovers. Set on a former Civilian Conservation Corps site, the place blends old‑school grit with modern brewing wizardry, offering 24 taps that range from hop‑jacked pale ales to quietly complex barrel‑aged stouts. The menu isn’t just a side‑show; it recycles spent grains and hops into dishes that could stand on a plate as proudly as they do in a pint, while a five‑course tasting menu lets you wander through a culinary landscape as meticulously crafted as the brews themselves.

Weekends turn into a celebration of all things indulgent, with a brunch that swaps greasy fry‑up clichés for locally sourced flavours and craft cocktails that prove mixers can be as inventive as mash tuners. Summer concerts add a soundtrack to the sprawling grounds, which are perfect for everything from low‑key gatherings to larger events (the founders, long‑time collaborators, imagined exactly this kind of communal buzz). Nature‑inspired décor ties the whole experience together, reminding you that good beer, like good scenery, is best savoured with a dash of humor and a whole lot of appreciation.
