    Spiced mountain cider tasted just like fall.
    Julie S.

    Stumbled upon here after hiking in Linville Falls for the day on a Saturday. Stopped in and had a delicious cider that tasted like fall (called Spice Mountain) and then got some local crackers and mango sriracha hummus that was delicious. Great vibe for the bottle shop and taproom, although it was a little dark. The menu was a scrolling screen so be sure you see all your options. Friendly staff gave us samples and gave us plates, napkins and a knife for our food as well as cleaned up after us. There is a discount wall too so be sure to check it out!

    I love this place. Gluten free options for the celiacs and really a huge variety with an awesome atmosphere.

    Ciders and beers from our flight

    Friendly, fun and a great environment. Stopped in with some friends when traveling and tried a flight of beers and ciders. Bartender was knowledgeable and great, but didn't crowd us. They have a absolutely fantastic variety of local and not so local brews. We left with some goodies for the rest of our vacation which I was super excited about. I wish we lived closer so we could be members of their beer club, which looked really cool. This is a great little place and we will definitely stop in again when we are back in Morganton!

    Really neat place! You can tell someone put a lot of thought and money into the space. Even the swag for sale looks high quality/high dollar. The space has one of those simultaneously cool and warm vibes. The entire left side is just shelf after shelf of bottled beer, with a selection ranging from Evil Twin to Pisgah Brewing. On the right is a bar with about 8 taps. I was impressed to see Nebraska IPA on tap and multiple offerings from a recent Skull Camp tap takeover. When I was there, the outdoor seating area out front was being prepared with railings being installed. The owner is super nice, laid back and ready to open the throttle this summer, as they have just recently opened their doors this past November. Annual membership is only a dollar. They also offer growlers. If you're in Morganton stop here first before moving on to Fonta Flora, Catawba and Wisteria, to get the full "brew tour" experience.

    Brown Mountain Bottleworks is a nice addition to Morganton as they have a great beer selection for purchase, knowledgable staff eager to help, and live music events and tastings regularly. Brought to you by a pair of brothers, Kory and Collin Suttles, both ambitious and enthusiastic about [craft] beers, BMBW is going to be a landmark stop for libations in this small town. I went here for a live music event ( New Year's Eve to be exact!) and I did find it odd that they had not secured their license to sell beer and liquor yet. However, since they had delicious and unique local hard ciders on tap, this was not a problem, and they promised that they were about to get the licensing worked out. (Apparently, if an establishment wants to sell alcohol, they also have to sell food, or the other option is to become a "member club" with a nominal annual fee, all "members" can drink). So, I am rating this place based on its potential, and what it would serve now as of January 2015, rather than knocking it for not having alcohol **on the world's most celebrated drinking day! ** Haha! I loved the Village Tart Cherry Cider. Wonderful to have local apples and cherries in a cider! Now, about one or two months since opening, they have a HUGE selection, available in bottles to purchase, growlers to take home, cans, etc. Plus some cheeses and meats, and non-alcoholic beverages. This place also is well-designed and beautiful, with table seating and a long bar. Live music every Tuesday -- bluegrass, folk, acoustic. Events -- tastings, brewer meetups Games! -- Jenga, Clue, etc FOOD: N/A AMBIANCE: 5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 VALUE/EXPERIENCE: 4/5

    Great place to get a beer. Typically have a good sampling between dark and ciders. The beer selection changes regularly. The atmosphere is local, casual and welcoming! Friendly bar staff and patrons - you can always find someone to say 'Hi' to at the bar. If you don't like what's on tap they have a slightly less than a million beer singles and six packs. Appetizer style food only.

    The Nook Homebrew & Tavern - Cozy spot in downtown Morganton

    Super cute little spot in super cute little Morganton! Tucked just around the corner from Fonta…read moreFlora, the Nook is a cozy, hole-in-the-wall that I could easily spend hours at. On one side, you have a pour-your-own-beer bar and on the other a home brew supply shop. During this particular visit, while we poked our heads into the shop, we were there to drink beer! We checked in at the counter and got a quick orientation to their technology. Then, we were turned loose to pour our own beer, settle in to the comfy couches, and play a few card games. The bar area is crazy comfortable. Handsome design, darkly lit, lots of communal games to be played and great seating options. The guy working that night (I think he was the owner) was crazy friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The only reason The Nook doesn't get 5-stars from me (yet) is the beer selection and the plastic cups. Call me a snob, but I just really think plastic cups ruin beer. I need glass! Of the 6 taps/choices on the evening we visited, there was only 1 beer I was really excited about. Other than those couple of minor gripes, we loved the Nook and will most certainly be back!

    This place is pretty awesome. I really had a great time here, the atmosphere is cozy and…read morecomfortable. It's a really tiny place, but there are tables and couches for seating. The bartender was super friendly and talkative, which I love. He gave us some good restaurant recommendations. You get a card from the bartender who's right near the front door. And you go to the taps yourself and swipe the cards to activate them, then pour to your heart's desire. You are then charged later when you are finished and are ready to leave. Cool idea! Fun spot.
