Description
We are a small production brewery with a sweet little tasting area that is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 1-6 pm. We are closed on other days in order to brew or bottle. We are located in downtown Weaverville which is just 10 minutes from downtown Asheville.

We offer small pours and flights of both the beers that we have bottled as well as experimental small batches available only at the brewery. Chilled bottles are available for enjoying on or off premise as well.

The name Zebulon was chosen because it just sounds awesome, and it starts with a Z which is always cool. There is the famous explorer Zebulon Pike, and of course the USS Zebulon from Star Trek! We just think it sounds bad ass.

Shared by explosivedog: pours pinkish with white head. Aroma is loads of berries... slightly funky. Taste is lightly sweet, sort of sour, lightly fruity. Quite good.
