We sat at the bar and there is space downstairs as well as upstairs to hang out. It doesn't serve food, but there are a variety of local snacks from cupcakes to pretzels to pork rinds. Flights are available and the price depends on the drink, four 4-ounce pours. The ginger beer was my favorite. Refreshing and pure taste. I learned it is done as a labor of love. Both IPAs are solid. We appreciate the 5% ABV range that most beers had. Stop in and check it out! We met the owner while we were there, super nice and offered great recommendations.

This brewery specializes in using local ingredients and natural fermentation in many of their beers which makes for fantastic unique flavors. The location is really pretty & the taproom is homey. They only have snacks as food, but you can bring your own. LOVED LOVED LOVED this place!

The staff was so friendly ... and patient as we sampled a few of their selections (again, everything sounds so good!!) The outdoor area is beautiful with tons of seating, and we loved hanging out in the milking barn - it's way cooler inside and perfect for escaping the sun for a bit. There was a pizza truck and a taco food truck while we were there, and both were so good. We ended up walking around the property for a while - loved that we could bring our dog ... he loved it too!!! The whole place was just really peaceful and fun to explore. Great beer, great vibes, great views... we'll definitely be back!

And other soft drinks. So your designated driver won't feel too deprived. The noise level is quite high in the tap room. Weather permitting there is outside seating, but the menu outside is limited. There is preferred parking near the entrance for zero or low emission vehicles. Unfortunately, the electric vehicle charging ports are no longer in this location. The parking staff said the chargers are in a remote parking area. Never did find them, but fortunately did not need them. We arrived on Sunday around 1 pm and there was no wait. They do activate a waiting list when needed that you can get on as you drive there. Very few reservations are available. Maybe for large groups. But don't worry, they have a lot of seating and the tables turn over readily.

We came on a Tuesday afternoon after hitting a couple breweries in the Mills River area . The area that the taproom in is really beautiful with mature trees and it's a huge facility . We parked and walked inside and headed to the bar. I got a flight and my boyfriend got an IPA. I thought the beers were really good and I liked that there was some that you couldn't find anywhere else . We also ordered some duck fries that were so dang good . As we waited for our food , we went to do a self tour of the brewery and that was great to see the history of Sierra Nevada and the different rooms that the processing occurred in. After our food we cashed out and took the remainder of our beers to their outdoor area . Once you pass by their amphitheater you went down this trail towards a little river and we went farther still and there was this whole field of yard games and tables that you could sit and enjoy right next to the rushing river (French Broad River) . All the staff that we encountered with was very nice and knowledgeable. Just a really fun atmosphere to be in where even the staff looked like they were enjoying themselves . I would highly highly recommend stopping in!

We were greeted by every single one with a smile and happy energy, despite how busy the place was. There are so many times when you sit at a bar unnoticed and patiently wait for someone to look your way, but this was the opposite of that. Our drinks were ice cold and served super fast. We didn't try any food, but they do have a small menu of bar bites that sounded really good. My cider was crisp, and not too sweet. It seemed to be "the spot", because there were lots of people but we didn't have any trouble finding seating. Lots of people had their dogs with them, which is always a plus!!
