“Hands down my favorite activity” -UPROXX
WHAT IS FENDER BENDER?
Fender Bender is Asheville’s most unsophisticated brewery tour. We hand-pick the best local bands and take you three amazing breweries where you and your friends can grab a pint and enjoy the region’s best local suds.
Brewery Stops
The Fender Bender Bus stops at 3 breweries – Highland Brewing, New Belgium, & The Wedge. Each stop is approximately 30 minutes.
Experience three of LaZoom’s favorite breweries: Highland Brewing, Asheville’s first brewery, The Wedge, a local favorite, and New Belgium Brewing, one of America’s largest breweries east coast taproom.
Our experienced hosts will give you their recommendations of their favorite beers at each stop, and might even join you in a pint!
Asheville’s music scene is unparalleled –Â from local indie rockers to big time country stars (before they were big time), the music in the Blue Ridge is worth exploring. We picked our favorite bands and asked them to play your favorite songs as you discover your new favorite brews.

Similarly, any passengers under 21 will not be allowed on to the bus and no refund will be given.
