    Higher end shelf for bourbons and spirits
    Patrick P.

    My old company is based in Mills River. One of our longstanding sales reps was celebrating her well deserved retirement and there was a group that planned her celebration here. I drove up from GA to give my congratulations Plenty of parking here, and the facility is large. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and last night (Thursday) there was a guy playing guitar and singing- good stuff, Allman Bros, etc. The bourbon and whiskey offering here is absolutely fantastic! Jennifer was the person I dealt with towards the end, and shamefully I didn't get anyone else's name but everyone was awesome here. There's a food truck here full time, so you can get food while you enjoy a couple of cold ones. Something for everyone! Worth the drive the opportunity to see my former colleagues, and enjoy the celebration. Congratulations to Lisa, and thanks to the team here at MRB for a fantastic party!

    Stopped here after visiting the Troll exhibit at the NC Arboretum for lunch. Pleasantly surprised to see a very nice selection of $10 lunches that also came with a soft drink. I opted for the hamburger and house chips. You could substitute fries for $3 more. The burger was cooked nicely and was very well dressed. Special sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion with pickles on the side. Tasted great! The house chips were flavorful and crispy. One friend in our group had a salad and another had the chili and a grilled cheese sandwich which was also on the $10 lunch special. The other member had a Reuben sandwich and fries. Now, onto the beer. I had a taste of the vanilla porter and it was great. I loved the taste so I ordered a pint. They have a very large indoor area with lots of tables and a large bar. Outdoors is a fantastic area. Seems like the outdoor area would be super fun! Will definitely be back if we're in the area again.

    When visiting family in NC we had the opportunity to visit Mills River Brewing for some T Swift trivia. They had signage sharing fun events going on all through the week, lively music, ample in door and outdoor seating, and great food and drink selections. You go up to a counter to order and get a buzzer to return for your food, we tried some desserts, cocktails, egg rolls, fries, and their nachos! Food was a little on the pricier side for what it was but everything was tasty and getting to hang out somewhere lovely was well worth it! The staff was very kind and made suggestions, and they also were great in explaining a raffle they have going on that gives back to the community.

    Ambience: After a day of hiking at Dupont Forest, this was an awesome lunch stop. Beautiful place (see pictures) backing up to a wooded area. Food: A seriously huuuuuuge menu, and beer, wine, cocktails. We got a wedge salad & the special of the day ... fried shrimp sandwich. *** Pretty sure this is the best meal I've ever had at a brewery. *** Service: Nice people at the bar and quick service. Helped us pick a beer that was so good!! Their cocktail menu is also impressive. If I'm within 30 minutes of this place, I'll be back for sure!!

    The pizzas and nachos here are off the chain!

    What a fun place to spend the evening! This brewery has a lot to offer, with a wide range of beers available, a huge (and delicious) food menu, live music, outdoor patios, shaded woods area to relax in, along with so much more. We came into town to visit friends and were planning on just staying here for a beer, and ended up canceling our dinner reservation elsewhere and just stayed at Mills River instead. It gets a little crowded on a Saturday evening, but that's to be expected when a place is this awesome.

    Can't miss it

    What's not to love about this place? Beautiful compound, indoor areas and plenty of outdoor spaces. Cocktails are available if you're not into beer, but drink the beer!! it's fabulous, something for everyone. We didn't eat but saw some of the dishes others were having and they looked great. Had an acoustic duo playing, just a great place destined to become a favorite.

    This is by far one of our fav places in the Asheville area. It has quickly become one of our "go-to" spots. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is great for a date nights, celebrations, letting the kids get outside and play, etc. The indoor dining is a vibe. The outdoor dining is very expansive. There is heated seating at high top tables, picnic tables, adirondack, etc. in addition to this there is a great walking path and plenty of places to explore. Pro Tip: If it's cold.. you can ask for them to turn on the outdoor heat.

They also have merchandise on sale, and feature plants grown from a local store! For my beer I got Beach, Please! Which tasted like an elevated Modelo - it was salty, sour (lime), and fruity (mango). I loved it! They have a great selection of BBQ and even better, they have a section on the menu called "Just a Taste", where you can order smaller portions to create your own sampler platter. I got the side of smoked turkey ($5) which was pretty good The 3 bones ($9) pineapple habanero flavored; they were generous and gave me more than 3 bones, and the sauce was actually kind of spicy but it was still flavorful and savory! And Jalapeño Cheese grits which were deeeeelicious! It was the perfect consistency and wasn't overly cheesy. The jalapeño pieces were diced so you were able to get some crunch in each bite. You order at the counter and they hand you a number. You're free to sit anywhere and they will bring your food out to you. They also bus the table for you, so you can get up and go whenever you're ready. They also have a patio that's dog friendly, and a restaurant side. I went right at 11 on a Wednesday and by 1pm they were full on both sides!

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.
