Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more There are a few choices for breweries in Boone and Appalachian Mountain is a really good one. Mama and I each got a flight and we were both able to find one or two that made us want a full pint. They have a good variety of styles to pick from, so anyone should be able to find something that suits their taste. They have a generous amount of outdoor seating as well as a stage where they host live music. Dog friendly too, which is a big check in the box for us. Top it all off with a food truck that was open when we arrived early in the afternoon, and these guys offer the three things we most appreciate in a brewery - outdoor seating, food availability, and most importantly, good beer! 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

Fun little brewery right off the main downtown Banner Elk area…read more They have numerous beers on tap with different varieties for all beer palates. Bonus is their kitchen with a nice assortment of food and snacks to go along with the cold beers. Had a beer sampler to go along with a large pretzel and beer cheese. The beer cheese was the bomb! Fun casual spot to hang out for a while if you're in the area.

Great little downtown area and Kettell is just on the edge of it on the way out of town. It has the three things I look for in a place - outdoor seating/dog friendly, food available, and of course a good selection of beers. Me and the Mrs. each got a flight, but neither of us could find one of the eight that made us want to invest in a full pint. Not that the beer is bad, we just didn't find one that made our taste buds sing. But for sure I'd visit again if I'm ever in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip out of the way just to come here. 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

The onion rings are battered very well and have the perfect crunch paired w a delicious sauce!! homemade too! I also ordered the supreme cauliflower crust small pizza. I would say it was definitely quite smaller than expected however it still hit the spot. The brews and drinks were of course delicious as well. I recommend coming on a nice day to sit outside on the lawn chairs as they also provide drinks outside and light bar food such as fries and burgers !

Straight outta Asheville and Old Fort, Morganton welcomes Hillman Beer. Replacing Catawba brewery,…read moreHillman is a great addition to the Morganton brewery scene. With a large seating capacity outside, covered, and a good seating area inside, there is plenty of room for groups and couples. Live music, pool tables and a dog welcoming atmosphere make for a great time, coupled with great beer. Despite buying beer at the bar, with a tab, table service is available and they make frequent enough stops to keep you happy. I think their location is temporary with plans to move across the street within the year. Check ''em out and cheers!
