Visited Wedge on a stormy Saturday afternoon after lunch at White Duck around the corner.
ATMOSPHERE
Located in the River Arts District, Wedge Studios is a short drive from downtown. The parking lot is huge, so finding a spot should not be an issue. This is definitely one of those places that tries to be weird...the oddly charming baby doll heads with plants sprouting out of them speak for themselves. The interior is small and has very little seating; the outdoor space, on the other hand, is made up of lots of different tables to sit at and bars to stand at. One seating area is covered and shady, while others are open to the elements. Wedge also has a couple cornhole boards and a rotating food truck. We enjoyed standing at a bar in the shade outside, enjoying the weather, listening to music, and watching peoples' dogs run around.
BEER
Wedge offers a wide variety of brews, with most being on the lighter side. Pints range from $4-$6, and some varieties are available in pitchers. For non-beer drinkers, they also have cider and wine in the same price range. I really liked the Iron Rail IPA (6.9% abv, $4.50). The Payne's Pale Ale (5.5% abv, $4) was alright, but not very memorable.
SERVICE
Better than some other breweries in the area. Given the small interior, there were only two people working when we visited, so there was a line of people waiting to order. We appreciated the extra time to make decisions on what to order though!
Bottom Line: Love Wedge's large outdoor space, and appreciate their prices, selection, and the option to grab food from the food truck onsite. Will definitely visit during my next trip to Asheville!
