The Whale :: West Asheville
A Craft Beer Collective in West Asheville. The idea of a craft beer collective is a concept we spent a lot of time thinking about.
A lot of our friends work in craft beer, and when we set out to do this, we wanted to approach it from a perspective of gathering the ideas of people in our community about what we were lacking, as a community, and creating a space we all wanted to hang out in. We want to create something approachable, friendly, and at the same time cater to a more knowledgeable crowd of beer consumers.

As you know there are thousands, of rocks that are without a forever home. We, along with , are trying to help remedy that situation.
We have a large litter of rocks looking for the love they deserve. The $5 adoption fee will be donated to Appalachian Wildlife Refuge to help them continue their work rehabilitating and returning orphaned and injured North Carolina Wildlife to the wild.
We’ll also have a Pet Rock spa/decoration station because after decades - perhaps even centuries - of not having a home, these rocks need some pampering.
Local DJs, , who recently played sets for AVLFest, will also perform from 6-9 pm.
