We stopped into Mountain Layers Brewing Company during our camping road trip while waiting for our…read morelaundry to finish, and it ended up being a really enjoyable stop. The brewery has a great rooftop atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with a drink while taking in downtown Bryson City. They also host live music, although we weren't able to stay long enough to catch the performance. The highlight of our visit was definitely the bartender. I wish I remembered their name because they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to recommend drinks, suggest places around Bryson City to explore, and even gave us recommendations for campgrounds where we could stay that night. Those kinds of interactions are what make traveling so memorable. We had originally planned to grab food from the restaurant downstairs, but that didn't work out during our visit. Thankfully, the brewery itself more than made up for it with its relaxed atmosphere and outstanding hospitality. If you're looking for a laid-back rooftop spot to enjoy a local beer, listen to live music, or chat with friendly locals while exploring Bryson City, Mountain Layers Brewing Company is definitely worth a stop. We'd happily grab another drink here the next time we're in town.

The service was so incredible, the views are indescribable, and the wine and cheese were delicious (bonus points for beautiful dogs that are just happy to be there). Highly recommend the Smokey mountain mist if you like a full body red. Couldn't recommend making this a stop on your trip enough! I wish the best of luck for continued success to this winery and hope we can visit again!

We both had the house pale ale but neither of us finished them. Mine just did not taste good. The overall ambiance is local dive bar - kind of dark inside, sticky surfaces, dollar bills stuck to the ceiling, etc. - but you know, that would've been ok if the the beer had been good. ‍

Took a seat by the bar but they also have regular seating and outdoor seating as well. Cold a refreshing just like I like my beer and plenty to choose from. Seasonal options and permanent ones.

The beers were really good, but I consider their seltzers to be the star of the evening. I am not a seltzer guy, but recently I have been enjoying them. I really liked the blueberry seltzer and one called "Sugar Plum Fairy". These seltzers sit at 11% so... drink with caution.

We first walked in and the woman owner was very rude. Saw another review that said it had seemed like they interrupted their lunch and it sure did feel like that. It was almost as if she didn't want to make any money off us? Someone in our group was giving them the benefit of doubt and ordered a tray of tasting wines, every single one tasted expired like it had been opened for years. If I could give zero stars I would. Do not go here.

To begin with, this is one of the most unwelcoming places we have visited…read more We wanted to enjoy an afternoon of wine sampling but changed our minds quickly after entering the facility. A little customer service etiquette and a simple smile would have been a start. The woman who came to meet at us at bar seemed like we were putting her out and being a big bother just to be asking her a question. I don't see how this place could get a rating of 5 when it is so uncomfortable to even enter the premises!! Need to give education on how to welcome people in and present the wines and make us feel comfortable!! We made a long drive for absolutely nothing; have been to many wineries and breweries in areas around Tenn, NC, & Ga. And cans rate them all a 5!! Very miserable experience; glad we walked out before even sitting down!! Can't even rate this place - it's pathetic!! The one star rating should be a -1 !!
