    We stopped by Ginger's Revenge after dinner to grab a drink, but also to grab some to take back to the hotel It was my first time visiting Ginger's Revenge, they had a comedy show going on, but we didn't have tickets, so didn't stay long, just got our beer to go. It's a big space, used for both brewing and as their tap room. As far as what they serve, it's definitely one of the more unique breweries in town, known for their varities of ginger beer. They also had a small menu of snacks to enjoy while at the brewery. The bartender/staff we dealt with on our short visit were very friendly and helpful, allowing us to mix and match to create a custom to go pack. Definitely a spot I'd visit again next time!

    Vibes spot on in this tasting room! Cozy atmosphere for afternoon cocktails and ginger beer. Tried and true regular options like Lime Agave and rotating, seasonal flavors. Service is friendly and fast. Lots of seating - bar, tables with games, sofas, and more. You can also enjoy the pinball machines! Popcorn is the primary food choice. Cute swag available, too!

    I cannot wait to get back to Asheville to visit Ginger's Revenge. it's one of my favorite beers, and that's saying a lot for someone who doesn't really fancy beer. But I do enjoy ginger beer, ciders, & stouts. A friend brought me the seasonal dirty chai release and it is so good. The seasonal releases are going to have me booking a flight real soon.

    I might have to plan a move to Asheville if I know they incorporate ginger practically into every aspect of food and drink! I love ginger, it is by far my favorite root to consume. I visited based on a recommendation from a local. You know it's the best when a local would give you free recommendations and constantly raved about its fruity and floral flavors. Yum, sign me up. Upon driving up, I wasn't too sure where the brewery was as it shared a parking lot with other businesses, but I figured I was at the right spot as it was after hours and the more industrial look of the building was screaming, "this is it!" I walked inside and was immediately greeted by one of the comedians. I'm not a local so I had no idea that a comedy show was about to take place. I paid at the door, $36 to enter and my friend went to get a flight. Surprisingly, there was just one more seat left and I snagged it. The comedy show was lackluster, but the ciders were on-point delicious. Some were ultra spicy and a few were mellow. None of them got me buzzed. The ambiance was chill and relaxing. I enjoyed myself immensely.

    I would come here again for sure. The srinks were wonderful and the music was great. I sometimes get opinionated about children in establishments too late, but that's me, I want to make an age=bedtime sign for fools. The restrooms were clean. The food truck smelled oh so good.

    Best place in Asheville!! Come one come all!!! I came just to add pictures because out of all the times here I assumed I've done a review....GUESS NOT! I leave so happy from here I guess I forget haha. Seriously, this is your Ginger Beer Mecca!!!

    We got a Groupon and went with some friends. There were a lot of choices of ginger beer and with the Groupon you got two take home glasses. The ladies working there were super nice. I would recommend coming for a refreshing change from the usual breweries.

    A very interesting brewery experience. My daughter has been raving about this place since she vacationed in Asheville. She was right. This staff is very friendly and engaging. The beers are all made of ginger and a combination of other spices. We had a flight of four and each was equally delicious. We brought home the Hibiscus Lavender.

    My husband and I love ginger beer, so when we learned about Ginger's Revenge's alcoholic ginger beer, it was a must-stop in Asheville. The taproom is in a warehouse building, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is open most afternoons and has plenty of free parking. It's beautiful inside, and I loved the mural on the wall, which is the company mascot, aptly named Ginger. Our "beer-tender" Tammy quickly started our tab and explained the menu, answering our questions. We ordered a flight of blueberry mosaic, lemondrop dry hop, lime agave, and cranberry herb ginger beers to share. Flights are the way to go, because I couldn't decide on just one flavor. While the blueberry mosaic was my favorite, I would order any of those flavors again. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor of Ginger's Revenge. We purchased several 4-packs to take home, which I recommend, as buying direct helps the independent brewers. My husband and I also bought t-shirts, and I appreciated Tammy searching for an XS shirt for me. If you're into ginger beer or cocktails like Moscow Mules, stop by Ginger's Revenge. It's worth the time and drive.

    I'd had a tasting flight of their beers before while attending a comedy show at their club location in South Slope, but this time we went to their brewery location near the French Broad River where they produce, package and serve the full selection of their ginger beers. Alcoholic ginger beer (versus the NA version that is used as a cocktail mixer) is not something you find very often anywhere and AFAIK Ginger's is the only craft brewery in Asheville that produces it. I personally wasn't a huge fan of the sweeter selections in my earlier flight, but I liked the agave lime one a lot and have had it at local bars a couple times since then. This time we took one of their brewery tours that that they do one Saturday afternoon a month. It's not a very lengthy tour and their facility is small enough that you don't walk much, but it was interesting because ginger beer is quite different than regular grain-based beers. We had a good tour guide and learned about their process. At the end you get a 13 oz pour of any of their beers, so much of the ticket price for the tour goes towards that. You can take it on the tour with you or wait and have it at the end. We waited because we wanted to have the beer with food from their guest food truck, Mean Mandy's - Plant Food That's Fire (I'll review them separately, but as a spoiler -- the food was really good). The beers we chose were from their seasonal limited production set: dry-hopped passionfruit and black cherry Thai chili. The passionfruit one was fantastic: you could taste the passionfruit but it wasn't overwhelming -- not too sweet and with some hops in this case, which also came through in the backend of the taste. It was a bit like a cross between a cider and a beer. The black cherry chili one was a whole other thing, notes of cherry up front, but then -- be warned -- a really potent kick of hot chilis in the 2nd half of the taste. If you haven't tried ginger beer, you should, and this is a great place to try it.

    This one is amazing

Right away the place had a cool vibe, not just a regular brewery where you go in and drink a beer. It had a lot of interesting decor and you could tell they really lean into their own weird, artsy style. The decor was colorful and fun, with murals and random quirky details all around. It kind of had this dark but playful look to it, which somehow worked really good. The beer garden area also gave it a laid back feel, and the whole place had way more character then a normal taproom. The beer menu was creative too. There were plenty of beer choices and I got the Sinister Gaze of the Unapologetic Imperial Stout. With a cool name like that it fit my mood from the heat. With cocoa nibs, sea salt, vanilla bean, and that rich stout flavor, it sounded bold and kind of dramatic, which fits the place perfect.

Anyway, we both came here with high expectations and they surpassed them! Everything was so delicious on tap. It really elevates their beers even more. We did two flights and our favorites were the honey orange trippel and 1554 for me, and obviously juice force for my husband but also sweet ride. We both enjoyed the Trippel on draft more than bottled that we've previously had. The place was super busy (5 pm on Sunday of Labor Day weekend) but the line kept moving and the bartenders were friendly. There were a bunch of seating options, both inside and outside. We sat near the river and then moved to the covered pavilion when it got warm. There were a lot of yard games to keep people entertained. Two food trucks also on property which were good. There were a ton of kids but it didn't feel like it was overrun with kids or anything like that. They really nailed the vibe of making it welcome to everyone. There were activities for kids to play and they mainly stayed on the lawn section because of the fun stuff they had for them. It was really nice to see couples, groups of friends, older people, young people, and families all coming together for a good time and some good beer. You don't see places that ace it that well too often! We can't wait to come back!

In closing, this is for the folks at New Belgium, please bring back the Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough collaboration y'all had in 2016. I believe it will be an exciting 10 year anniversary collaboration!

It's quite possible if I'd have visited during the day that my review would've been 5 stars. However, we came at night (well... winter night it was like 6pm?). It was dark. First, the parking lot. It looked like a scene from a horror movie where everyone gets killed. There was no actual parking lot, just some grass along the road where people were parked. There was a chainlink fence gate that was barely open, with an overgrown sign, and it looked like you were walking into a haunted factory. We walked in the brewery and it was only light by faint lights and candles. We jokingly started calling it the MURDER BREWERY in a spooky voice. I see the beautiful plants in the pictures in reviews here and we saw none of that. I have less-than-stellar night vision and actually held onto my wife's shoulders for her to lead me around. They also have a lot of tables without chairs. Maybe that's trendy, but really I want to sit and chat while I try your beer. I don't want to have to stand around. It cleared out before we left and we got a seat eventually, but the table/chair ratio was way out of whack. All this time and I haven't spoken about the beer yet. It was pretty good. My BIL loved the Mummy Cat. We all had some pretty decent beers. However, we bolted after not too long due to it just not being a great place to hang out in the dark. Our friends enjoyed the photos we took and the catchphrase ANTIQUITY DAWNS AT MODERNITY'S TWILIGHT likely stolen from a 14 year old emo kid's journal that was on their less than useful website.
