The Whale :: A Craft Beer Collective

A wide variety of craft beer on tap and canned from around the nation with funky music to boot. 6 parking spots, so good luck with the street parking. The church next door seems to be the popular parking location. They share the outside large seating area with the delicious restaurant next door. They have some liquor.

Wow, what a great place! Good tap selections, and an amazing can and bottle list. My husband had had on his list to visit for 3 years (we aren't local), and it did not disappoint!

Amazing beer bar in the heart of West Asheville. You know a bar is good when it is a local hangout and a tourist destination and it isn’t downtown. It would be hard to find a more diverse selection of regional and national and international beer. Been around for three years and still killing it. The owners and employees are super great people and good friends. Give them some love and respect for safe social distancing and great outdoor seating with heaters.nSlow pour lager society members welcome.

Great spot to grab a craft beer. Heated outdoor tent area was clutch the day we visited. 20 taps and way more bottle/can options. Will be back some day. Staff was very friendly. Parking is a little limited

Always an impressive selection of great beer.nnGo there, grab your first beer, claim a table, go to Haywood Common next door to order food, drink beer while waiting, buzzer goes off, get food, drink beer & eat food. Repeat the drink beer part as often as possible/necessary.nnIt'll be a good day.
