Asheville Brews Cruise Winter Warmer Festival

Need something to “Shake Up” the Winter Blahs?

Join us for the 6th Annual Winter Warmer Beer Festival!

Mark your calendars for the 6th Annual Asheville Winter Warmer Beer Festival on Saturday, January 26, 2013, from 3:00 - 7:00pm - provided to you by co-hosts: ThreeSheets:Design, Brews Cruise, Inc., and French Broad Brewing Co.

This year’s Winter Warmer event will be held at the ASHEVILLE CIVIC CENTER again, (in Downtown Asheville) - but we are "moving on up" to the arena level - more elbow room, a few more breweries, and a lot more fun! Thanks to all of you, each year’s festival is bigger and better than the year before - so hopefully, 2013’s Winter Warmer Festival will be the best yet!

We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as the last five years’ events have sold out. This year’s venue allows for a few more to attend, but we have already received many inquiries about this year’s festival, so don’t miss out on this wonderful Winter Warmer!

New Non-Profit Partner for 2013

This year, we have decided to "share the love" and offer the opportunity to support a different non-profit organization for the upcoming festival: the Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA). For 30 years, the Western North Carolina Alliance has been a trusted community partner, marshaling grassroots support to keep our forests healthy, our air and water clean, and our communities vibrant. Utilizing a combination of policy advocacy, scientific research and community collaboration, the Alliance and its chapters throughout Western North Carolina unleash the power of citizens’ voices to protect the natural heritage of our region so that people and the environment can thrive.

Music for this year’s festival is still being determined.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to our new local non-profit partnership, the Western North Carolina Alliance (WNCA.) Please check back soon to see more details for this event.

Tickets are $40pp and will include a souvenir mug, samples during the event, and food provided by a local caterer.

"6th Anniversary" Guest Breweries

We purposely try to provide an intimate, "beer family"-like environment for our festival goers - so we typically only reach out to local and regional breweries to participate in our festival. However, its always nice to try something different, or in particular, a brew that isnt' readily available to us here in WNC - so that is why we invite special guests to our event.
