Sierra Nevada's East Coast home is a destination brewery and taproom in Mills River, south of Asheville, and it is one of the few local taprooms that brews its own non-alcoholic beer: the Trail Pass line (Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden, 0.5% ABV), made with a special yeast that leaves the beer near-zero rather than removing alcohol afterward, plus Hop Splash hop water. The non-drinker gets a genuinely brewed NA pint in a proper brewery setting.

Cúrate Bar de Tapas is a Spanish tapas restaurant at 13 Biltmore Avenue in downtown Asheville, founded in 2011 by chef Katie Button and Félix Meana. It won the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Hospitality Award in 2022, Button has twice been a Best Chef in the Southeast finalist, and the restaurant was recommended in the 2025 Michelin Guide. The kitchen serves gildas, pan con tomate, croquetas, gazpacho, patatas bravas, tortilla española and pulpo a la gallega alongside a jamón counter and paella, with a Cúrate Experience prix fixe at $80. Its drinks list carries a dedicated "Sin Alcohol" section structured like the wine list rather than as an afterthought: a non-alcoholic gin and tonic on Dhos with Franklin & Sons tonic, a Solo Agrio built on Kentucky 74 non-alcoholic bourbon with Le Naturel Zero Zero red and lemon, St. Agrestis's Phony Negroni, and an N/A Sangría made with Le Naturel Zero Zero and an orange oleo. Le Naturel's Zero Zero blanco and tinto are poured as wine, with Estrella Galicia 0.0 and Sierra Nevada Trail Pass IPA on the beer list. Children of any age are welcome. No drink prices are published online.

Roll Up Herbal Bar is a dedicated zero-proof cocktail lounge beside the Gateway to the Smokies arch on Main Street in downtown Waynesville, about thirty miles west of Asheville. It serves mocktails exclusively, crafted with herbal infusions and house-made mixes and designed to either calm or energise. Its owner, Sam, is unusually clear about why it exists: she started it for one reason, to provide culinary beverages for people who are not drinking alcohol but crave the complexity of a well-crafted cocktail. She is an experienced bartender, and also an artist and a former theatre kid, which she says is why the drinks are built to look as good as they taste. The room is a small oasis — comfortable seating, magical décor, and a patio shaded by tall oaks — and it is a sit-down tasting lounge rather than a pop-up, typically open Thursday to Saturday from noon. It anchors the alcohol-free scene at that end of the region.

Little Jumbo is a craft cocktail bar at 241 Broadway Street in Asheville's Five Points, opened on 7 November 2017 in the old Jenkins grocery by co-owners Chall Gray and Jay Sanders, with Leisa Payne in the kitchen. The room keeps the building's bones — tin ceilings, green leather — and USA Today named it Bar of the Year in 2025, with Garden & Gun placing it among the best of the South. Its non-alcoholic list is one of the longest in the city: a printed "Spirit-Free Sippers" section of seven drinks at $9–$10, roughly half the price of the full cocktails, and built across three different non-alcoholic spirit houses rather than one. Rita's Day Off ($10) uses Ritual NA tequila with basil, lime, orange, lemon and agave; Mint to Refresh You ($9) uses Ritual NA rum; the Cos-No-Politan ($9) and Drømme Roll Please ($10) are built on Drømme; Shoots Then Leaves ($9) pairs Seedlip Garden 108 with spicy ginger ale and celery bitters; and the Berry-Nice Gimlet ($10) layers an Amethyst blueberry-ginger-mint with two bitters and orange flower water. The list rotates seasonally.

Burial Beer Co. was born in the summer of 2013 out of a renovated transmission shop at 40 Collier Avenue — as the brewery puts it, before it was the South Slope. Three founders moved from Seattle and opened nine months later on a 30-gallon brewhouse producing 150 barrels a year, with no employees, doing everything themselves including tending the bar. It now anchors Asheville's densest brewing district and has opened outposts elsewhere; the original taproom is the one it calls the crypt from which its story was born. For non-drinkers it keeps a Burial-branded non-alcoholic beer on the board — Chaosmachine, a non-alcoholic IPA under 0.5% ABV made with barley and oats and hopped with Citra and Mosaic — often alongside a second rotating NA option. One of the city's most sought-after beer names therefore has a spot for the non-drinker too. Note that Burial's NA cans are contract-packaged rather than confirmed brewed on site.

The Draftsman opened on 21 June 2023 at 68 Patton Avenue downtown as the bar and restaurant of The Restoration Hotel, and it is a more relaxed proposition than a hotel bar usually is — there is a bowling alley in it, called Up Your Alley, run first-come-first-served by signing up at the bar rather than booked ahead. The kitchen is straightforward and well priced for downtown: deviled eggs with local farm eggs, pickled mustard seeds and bacon at $8, a short rib and chuck Draftsman Burger at $17, and a jalapeño buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with Alabama white sauce at $16. It builds its non-alcoholic drinks with the same care as the full list rather than treating them as an afterthought, leaning on zero-proof aperitifs like Ghia — the Clear Morning Spritz (Ghia Amaro, lemon, grapefruit, soda) and a spirit-free Phony Negroni — so the non-drinker gets a properly crafted cocktail in a real cocktail room. Open from 5pm Thursday and Friday and from 11.30am at weekends.

Hi-Wire Brewing's Biltmore Village taproom is a 27,000-square-foot production brewery and taproom at 2A Huntsman Pl, Asheville, opened in summer 2015, with vibrant indoor and outdoor murals, a large sun-shaded patio and free parking. Guajiro Cuban Comfort Food is permanently parked on site, and outside food is welcome. The taproom is pet- and family-friendly, open from 11am at weekends and 3pm on Mondays. IMPORTANT for anyone avoiding intoxicants: the taproom lists its non-alcoholic and THC options together, and alongside N/A beer, local High Noon nitro cold brew and local soda it sells Hi-Wire's own Hi-Jinks THC-infused sparkling water, produced in 2mg and 5mg doses in Original and Clementine. The N/A beer itself is not named on the venue's page. Note that the Hi-Wire facility destroyed by Helene flooding was the separate River Arts District site at 284 Lyman St, which reopened in May 2025 — not this Biltmore Village taproom.

Hillman Beer is a family-owned brewpub that opened in April 2017 at 25 Sweeten Creek Road near Biltmore Village, run by brothers Brad and Greig Hillman with Greig's wife Brandi. Brad picked up homebrewing in 2006 while living in Brooklyn, and the first beer out of the garage was a Dunkelweizen they named Dingaudamnit — which tells you the register the place operates in. His brief was a brewpub with a comfortable environment and a cool vibe, and the beer has backed the ambition up with Great American Beer Festival medals in three consecutive years within the brewery's first three. The taproom keeps the non-drinker in mind: Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beer on hand, plus locally made Devil's Foot craft sodas — an Asheville mocktail-base staple — kombucha and soda. A relaxed, food-forward brewery where the alcohol-free options are genuine craft rather than the usual cola-or-water default.

How we know a Asheville bar has NA beer
Three kinds of evidence put a venue on this page, and each card says which. The strongest is a menu we've read: the exact beers, the price where the menu prints one, and the date we confirmed it. Next are breweries — a brewery is in this directory because it pours non-alcoholic beer, often its own. Last are venues whose own menu or copy names a specific NA brand they carry. Nothing here is inferred from a review or a vague “great NA selection”.
“Non-alcoholic” is a legal band, not a promise of zero: under 0.5% ABV in the US, with “alcohol-free” reserved for 0.0%. The big lagers (Heineken 0.0, Guinness 0.0) are labeled 0.0%; most craft NA beers sit somewhere under 0.5%. We name the brand wherever the venue does so you can check the label that matters to you.
Draft NA beer is spreading but still uncommon, so we never assume it. A pour is marked “on draft” only when the venue's menu says tap or draft; everything else should be read as cans or bottles.
Frequently asked about non-alcoholic beer in Asheville
We've verified 8 places in Asheville with non-alcoholic beer: Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Taproom, Cúrate Bar de Tapas, Roll Up Herbal Bar and more below. 6 list it on a menu we've read line by line; the rest are breweries, or venues that name a specific NA beer brand they carry. Every listing shows when we last checked.
Usually not quite. In the US, beer labeled "non-alcoholic" must be under 0.5% ABV — a trace level also found in some ripe fruit and kombucha — while "alcohol-free" means 0.0%. Most craft NA beers (Athletic, Best Day, Untitled Art) sit between 0.0% and 0.5%; Heineken 0.0 and Guinness 0.0 are labeled 0.0%. Rules differ abroad: in the UK "alcohol-free" is 0.05% or under and "de-alcoholised" up to 0.5%. If you avoid alcohol entirely, look for a 0.0% label — we name the brand wherever the venue does, so you can check.
Draft NA beer is still the exception: most bars serve it in cans or bottles, and that is what to expect. We flag "on draft" only when a venue's own menu says tap or draft — none of the current Asheville listings has a menu-confirmed draft pour yet. If a listing doesn't say draft, assume packaged.
On the Asheville menus and listings we've verified, the most-carried brands are Athletic Brewing (3 venues), Best Day Brewing (1 venue), Untitled Art (1 venue). Each brand on this page links to everywhere else it is poured.
