Asheville’s Burial Beer searches for second location

The owners of Burial Beer on Asheville’s South Slope are on the hunt for a second location, but there’s been no decision made about that location, says Doug Reiser, who owns Burial with his wife, Jess. A social media post earlier in the week set off a wave of speculation.

Resiser has been in search of another location almost since Burial first opened about two-and-a-half years ago as a tiny tap room on Collier Avenue in the heart of Asheville’s South Slope. Since then, the location and its beer production has steadily grown. Demand has also grown as Burial Beer has garnered more and more accolades for the quality of its beers.

Reiser originally harbored the idea of opening a brewery on a farm setting. Reiser says he’s begun to let go of that dream, in part because of the difficulty and expense of finding a location, as well as the fact that there are already at least a couple such breweries already in the works around Asheville.

After looking at dozens of locations, Reiser says he’s still searching. He’ll let Burial Beer fans know as soon as he’s locked a spot down.
