Burial Beer Co. is an independent craft brewery founded in 2013 in Asheville, North Carolina, by Tim Gormley and Doug and Jess Reiser. Born from Pacific Northwest brewing roots and inspired by New Orleans’ culture of celebrating life’s fleeting moments, Burial approaches beer as both craft and contemplation. Known for its expansive spectrum — from hop-saturated modern IPAs and tradition-rooted lagers to barrel-aged imperial stouts and nuanced mixed fermentation wild ales — Burial pairs technical mastery with artistic intention. Recognized as Craft Beer & Brewing’s Readers’ Choice #1 Small Brewery in the World (2021) and #1 Small Regional Brewery in the World (2022), Burial represents Asheville’s introspective, boundary-pushing craft ethos at a global level.
