The staff is super-friendly, the space is comfortable, especially during their construction/renovations, and the sound is stellar. She Said: As He noted, this is a great place to see a band. Plenty of space to set up your chairs, lots of room to dance, and welcoming to all ages. And the town itself is great for hanging out between trips to Pisgah. We will definitely come back. Potty Points: With 0 being the worst port-a-potty ever and 5 being the best, the potties here score a 5. They're kept incredibly clean, and there are enough that even during a popular show there was never a wait!

That sucked for me since that's my favorite kind of craft beer. Free stickers are offered and they had maybe a dozen beers on tap at various prices.

Seems like a really cool venue for music and the Saturday afternoon we were there they had a food truck out back. We found our bartender to be very friendly.

We walked downtown Black Mountain and noticed the large mural from a distance and since I love a…read moregood beer, we decided to stop in. At the time we didn't realize that Roberta Flack was born in Black Mountain and the mural on the side of the historic building was in fact Roberta! When you step inside it is cozy and comfortable but we could see there was a large outdoor space as well. I stopped in at the counter and decided to order a pint of their Hazy IPA. We wandered to the outdoor space which is two levels, we explored the upstairs area first since there was a thunderstorm we thought it would be cool to watch the rain and lightning while sipping on a cold beer. We also learned there was a food trailer at the back of the property, which looks to be a permanent resident. They offer items such as pulled pork, poutine, brisket, and more. We ended up chatting with other customers and had a really enjoyable afternoon. We enjoyed our time at Black Mountain Brewing and will absolutely be back!

The first cool thing about this brewery is that it taught me that Roberta was from NC, which I did not know. So, we decided to go and immediately it took be back to the golden era of small breweries. I loved the atmosphere here, again it took me back to when craft beer was a community, and not an industry as it is today. I had a flight with the steam beer, pale ale, West Coast IPA, and barleywine. Everything was on point and very well made. My friend had the American Lager and we also tried the Czech-style lager, which ended up being my favorite. A huge plus and thank you to our bartender who brought us delicious, in-house freshly-made pork rinds! If I lived in the area, this would be my Cheers.

The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly.

It's a fun place and located in easy walking distance from the White Horse music venue.

The staff were incredibly friendly, super knowledge, and their service was efficient. The selection truly has something for everybody, with all sorts of tasty offerings, from beers to non alcoholic cocktails and even some cool nitro brewed coffee.

Prices were all incredibly fair, and if sitting outside, theres even a food truck if you want to snack some as well. Just an overall great place to relax and have fun, would highly recommend.
