01 · Frequently asked
Good to know.
Where is Hunky Dory Brewing?
We brew on Foundry Street in Asheville, North Carolina. Small place, big fridge, no oil paintings of a founder.
What does Hunky Dory actually taste like?
Cold and clean, mostly. The Pils is crisp, the Rouge is a touch maltier, and the 0.0 tastes like the real thing without the morning after. Nothing here needs a tasting vocabulary.
Is the beer any good?
It is fine, really. That is the whole brand. Crisp, cold, and easy to drink, brewed by people who would rather make one great pils than ten complicated ones.
Do you ship cold?
Yes. Orders ship cold, and most of the country gets it in two to three days. Someone has to be 21 or older to sign for it.
02 · Frequently asked
About the beers.
How many beers do you make?
Three year-round: the Pils, the Rouge, and the 0.0. We add a couple of seasonal cans, like the Pamplemousse radler and the Midnight dark lager, when the mood strikes.
What is the difference between the Pils and the Rouge?
The Pils is a crisp, hop-light pilsner you drink without thinking. The Rouge is an amber ale with toasted malt and a little more going on. Slightly more interesting, as the can says.
Is the 0.0 really alcohol-free?
Yes, 0.0% ABV. All of the vibe, none of the regret. We did not release it until it actually tasted like beer.
Are the beers gluten-free or vegan?
They are vegan-friendly but not gluten-free, since they are brewed with barley. Full ingredient details are on every can.
03 · Frequently asked
Ordering and shipping.
How do I buy beer?
Add cans to your cart on the shop page and check out. We sell by the pack, in US dollars, and ship cold to most states.
Where do you ship?
Most US states where shipping beer is allowed. The full list shows at checkout. Someone 21 or older has to be home to sign.
How fast does it arrive?
Two to three days for most addresses. We pack it cold and send it quick so it lands the way it left.
Do you sell merch too?
We do: tees, a cap, and a pint glass set, all in the shop. The Beer Club tee sells out faster than we can explain.
04 · Frequently asked
The big goal.
What is the million cold ones goal?
We want to have sold a million cans by the end of 2027. As of now we are around 530,000, so roughly halfway. No pressure, but the fridge is counting on you.
How do I help with the goal?
Drink a Hunky Dory, then drink another. Every pack counts toward the million. Tagging us in a cold-one photo also helps morale.
Do you host events?
We pour at neighborhood markets, the odd festival, and our own taproom nights in Asheville. The community page lists what is coming up.
Can I follow along?
Yes. We post the good, the average, and the occasionally questionable on Instagram and the rest. Links are in the footer.
05 · Frequently asked
About the brewery.
Who started Hunky Dory?
A few friends in Asheville who thought a pils should be fun, cold, and not take itself too seriously. We brewed one in 2019, then made two more.
Why the name Hunky Dory?
Because everything is fine, really. The name fit a brewery that makes honest, easy beer and does not pretend to be a hundred-year-old institution.
Are you a big brewery?
No. We brew small, ship cold, and obsess over the boring details so you do not have to. That is the whole operation.
Where can I find you on tap?
In and around Asheville, with a slowly growing list of bars elsewhere. If your local does not pour us, ask the stockist form to fix that.

Reaching us.
How quickly will you reply?
Within one business day, usually faster. The contact form is the quickest way to land in front of an actual person.
I want to stock Hunky Dory. Who do I talk to?
Pick the stockist or wholesale topic on the contact form and tell us about your bar or shop. We love getting on new taps.
Can I just call you?
You can. Reach the taproom at 828.555.0199 during open hours, and we will talk beer with you happily.
Where are you located?
