Burial Beer Co.
Residing in and revitalizing the South Slope District of Asheville, NC, the brewery began its life in summer 2013 as a one-barrel system that grew to a ten-barrel in just over a year. It is now fed from our production facility, barrelhouse and taproom brewery. Burial’s taproom also houses a full-service kitchen focusing on Asheville terroir in comfortable American dishes. Our menu is designed by Brian Canipelli, owner of Cucina 24 and James Beard Nominee. The Kitchen is open at all hours that the taproom is open and Sundays often being Brunch with a jazz band, when the weather permits. The offerings revolve with seasonal availability of produce, though staples like our grain-fed double cheeseburger and house fermented hot wings always remain.
Buxton Hall Barbecue
Slow-smoked Eastern North Carolina–style barbecue from pasture-raised whole hogs is the focus of this South Slope smokehouse from chefs Elliott Moss and Meherwan Irani (both James Beard Award nominees), whose offerings include desserts from an in-house bakery and cocktails on tap. The huge, former skating rink has distressed walls and exposed ducts, as well as a bar and an open kitchen.
The Funkatorium
Barrel-aged sour and funky beers are the focus of this South Slope taproom, which pairs Wicked Weed brews with tapas and flatbreads. Rustic surrounds outfitted with industrial chandeliers and communal tables have a Belgian feel, and there's a dog-friendly patio and a barrel house that's regularly open for tours.

12 Bones Smokehouse SOUTH
Slow-smoked babyback ribs flavored with homemade sauces and dry rubs (like blueberry chipotle and brown sugar) are the specialty of these lunch-only barbecue joints, which offer Southern sides (legendary jalapeno cheddar grits and corn pudding) with sandwiches and plates. The counter-serve spaces are comfy and no-frills, with walls decked in bumper stickers or graffiti. While Barack and Michelle Obama's multiple visits to this much-loved barbecue hotspot may have garnered 12 Bones some national attention, Asheville locals have been singing its praises for years.
