    HARD TO FIND lol huge sign on the side of building but entrance is a small door past where you'd expect. We walked into a pizza place and tried to order beer. OOPS. Service is better here than the other innovation location but it may of just been the time of day we came. They have a big selection, cool vibes with darts and do half pours!!

    From the side...gotta walk past the Meatball/Pizzeria joint.  The smell gives the sense that it's legit

    Great atmosphere, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly and helpful service. The interior space is inviting and comfortable. The selection is pretty vast with hoppy and dark dominating the board. I didn't see any food options. As for the beers, you know my routine, reader beware, these comments are based on Bill's tastes and opinions. In summary, I couldn't drink any of the 6 hoppy beers on my flight. I've never left that much beer at a place. Not one beer appealed to me. I'd go back and try the darker options, but based on what I had, I'm not hopeful. I can't recommend this place, but that's based on MY taste in beer. You might love it

    Loved the setting of this brewery in Sylva. We had four dogs and we sat outside with the view of the water and railroad tracks. There is plenty of parking and space inside and out. We didn't order from the food truck but other tables did and the meatballs looked great. The beer ... we had fun sampling a few and really liked the jalapeño beer. I wish I had the correct name! Check out the brewery. It's a good one.

    Sich a cute little brewery. They have kind of a mountain-rustic theme going on, with a beautiful little patio outside next to the river. Location is also great--next door to several great restaurants and to where the train stops. The beer menu here is a little IPA-heavy for my taste, but they still have a good variety and I was able to find something good to drink. The bartender very patiently let me try several samples and gave a recommendation to help me find the right beer for me. We even got a 6-pack to take home with us. Recommend!

    We thought it was the best brewery in Sylva. Very chill atmosphere with a great patio near the creek. I enjoyed both the Sylva Haze and Soulvation IPA's. Can't go wrong with either of them. They had a couple of guys playing live music on Sat night which was a bonus. Good food options with the Cosmic Carry Out (which we tried and enjoyed) and the pizza place next door (we didn't try it....but plenty of others around us sure did). Popular place....try it....you'll like it :)

    Great cute lil brewery in Sylva. Sitting on the deck/porch was nice even tho it was hot, it was nice and shady and had a view of the river. And the railroad tracks if you're a train geek bartender suggested the food truck and a pizza place next door for food.

    Fun taproom

    Amazing beer. I had a flight of 5 and they were all amazing. The lovin cup "1/2 peanut butter and 1/2 chocolate stout was so good. The sours were all awesome. Friendly people, friendly service. Sam is the best bartender! Food truck has delicious looking brats and burgers. I will definitely be back. I have tried 990 unique beers in untapped and these were among the best I have had. Consistently good beer across all types.

    Wood Fired Pizza and Innovation Brewing are connected. The brewery appears to be very laidback with a lot on tap. They also have outdoor seating by the river. Very chill vibe. If you're at Innovation, you can order pizza and have them bring it over to you. This is the best option for seating. The people in the picture cooking the pizza are crazy friendly and laidback. I always appreciate chill people because they make me feel relaxed (obviously). I wasn't sure what to expect with the pizza, but it was damn good! And that's without any beer influencing my decision. The whole joint is highly recommended. And you can bring your dog.
