Ben's Tune Up

Where to Eat and Drink Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park | Eater

"Proof that Asheville’s beverage scene goes far beyond beer, Ben’s Tune Up is the city’s first sake brewery, using 100 percent American rice and mountain water to create its creamy elixirs. Staying on brand with Asheville’s penchant for garage spaces, Ben’s is inside a former auto shop, with an abundant beer garden and on-site takeout window slinging sake-friendly snacks like dumplings, egg rolls, and kimchi brats. Unpasteurized sake is served cold on draft, including fruit-infused versions like pineapple-jalapeno and blueberry-lime." - Matt Kirouac
