In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

The beer tenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There's a little indoor seating, more seating in a secondary area with pull down canvas sides and then several tables on artificial turf for nice sunny days when you want to be completely outside. They have a wide variety of local food trucks on a rotating basis parked in a slot right next to the bar and dining tables. They are close to downtown Hendersonville without being right on the main road, which makes parking and access easier.

New Belgium Asheville is an absolute must visit for any beer enthusiast. It is quite the space - a…read morelarge lawn in front with plenty of space for the kids to run around, a nice view of the river off the side, and a really nice space inside. Being someone who isn't the biggest fan of kids in the brewery, it was nice that the kids had a place outside to run around while I could drink in (relative) silence inside. As for the beers, yes they have all the New Belgium favorites you know and love from the store, but with plenty of beers that you'll only find on the tap list. Even though the brewery is called New Belgium, they aren't really known in the beer aisles for Belgian styles. Here is where all those Belgian styles are, and they are fantastic. My only regret was that I didn't have enough time to spend there because there were too many other places to visit in a short amount of time. Local beer snobs will probably tell you to avoid New Belgium because it's "too corporate", but don't listen to that nonsense. New Belgium's tap room was one of the most impressive I've ever visited - great quality beers in an incredible space.

They offer several other tour options, the others are a bit longer though, and have a small cost to take. We didn't think we had the attention for anything much longer and opted for a short and simple tour to get the fun started Our tour guide Emma was friendly, and quick to answer all the questions people had for her. The tour was informative telling us about the history and extensive clean up of the land before building the brewery, as well as their brewing process, and offered samples of their flagship Fat Tire beer. Overall it was a good, informative, though simplified tour. The guide was friendly, the beer was tasty and we had a good time. Beautiful facility, and a great addition to the Asheville brewing community We enjoyed another beer after the tour in their beautiful"liquid center". They don't serve food, but did have food trucks parked out front

They aren't doing a bunch of fancy things with their beers, but we had both the Hefeweizen and Porter and both were outstanding representations of their styles.

The Porter was smooth with some background depth, but not overdone. They serve food at their adjoining restaurant, Westville Pub (reviewed separately).
