About us
Wicked Weed was imagined, created, and brought to life by the Dickinsons and the Guthys; two families that have been lifelong friends, each bringing a unique skill to the collective ownership team. Upon opening their original brewpub location in 2012, Wicked Weed was known for pushing the envelope in craft by offering 25 unique draft beers including West Coast style IPAs, barrel-aged sour ales, and more. The growth of Wicked Weed’s sour program led to the opening of the South’s first sour beer-dedicated taproom, the Funkatorium. Wicked weed also began to distribute beer throughout North Carolina in 2014. Wicked Weed grew its self distribution statewide to 240 accounts. To keep up with demand, they opened their 50 barrel Clean Production Facility, Wicked Weed West located in Candler, NC. This is where flagship brands like Pernicious and Freak of Nature were bottled for the first time. Wicked Weed sold their NC distribution rights to expand to over 2,000 plus accounts statewide and expanded distribution to Atlanta, GA. They released their first ever 6 pack cans and opened new markets in MA, DC, VA, and PA. More distribution meant more demand for sour beer so Wicked Weed opened their Headquarters and Sour Beer Production Facility, The Funk House in Arden, NC. Wicked Weed moved their first brands into cans while completing a 30K sq. ft. expansion of Wicked Weed West. In order to continue the growth they had seen in the past six years, Wicked Weed Brewing entered into a partnership with the Anheuser-Busch family of craft breweries. Wicked Weed continued expanding to new markets in the Southeast including SC and TN. Now, with four locations in Asheville including three taprooms and a fine dining restaurant, Wicked Weed shows no signs of slowing down. They continue to grow while focusing on innovation, quality, and strong roots in their community of Asheville, North Carolina.

We are excited to share our new Pernicious artwork! Packaging design matters to our company, to our employees, and to our customers. We have always prioritized the quality and integrity of our packaging designs to match the quality and integrity levels of the beer inside the package. We strive to continue to impress our customers with the highest levels of creativity and quality possible. Thank you to Howell Golson for his exceptional artwork and to Wicked Weed Brand Manager, Emma Ensley for successfully managing this highly involved project. Cheers.

Supporting Pints for Prevention, a portion of proceeds from each pint sold benefits the important work of Our Voice. Stop by any of our Asheville locations to try a pint and celebrate all the women in your life. Cheers to you, ladies!
