25 Best Craft Breweries near Fletcher

“The Beer Geek tour was very informative and a great value. If you have 3 hours and want to get a behind the scene experience of the beer making process every step of the way from water and grains and ending with finished product in packaging, this is the tour for you. The tour guide Mary did a great job explaining the process and answering questions. Additionally, all the employees we encoutered along the way were very friendly and showed great pride in their company and the immaculate Mills River facility!“

“Have had the privilege of eating here twice and both times it was well above excellent. The interior decor is inviting and the exterior patio, activities and concert space are very enjoyable. The food and the beer were exceptional both times! I highly recommend a visit by others.“

“Beer is ridiculously priced but great venue for beach volleyball and Frisbee golf. Hope they have a good band, the might I was there the singer was sounded like open mic night and you had to go inside to escape it as the speakers are really loud. One food truck was OK, one decent. The place was packed, like children everywhere, so really family friendly. Def worth a visit!“

“We stopped here based on a post with kid friendly breweries. They were right on target. The kids had a blast here and the beers were delicious! Food trucks change each day. Milk and Honey was here and the chicken wings were soooo good. If it just rained, be prepared for muddy feet and pants. Hit up the mini putt putt golf. Definitely a place you want to check out if you are around Asheville.“

“The beers we tried were all so good it was hard to pick a favorite! And it's super dog friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“I love coming here with friends. The atmosphere is incredible and the live music is always good. Drinks are affordable and they have food which is amazing. I definitely recommend checking this place out. This business really stepped up during Helene and it still continues to do so.“

“If you like IPAs this is one of the two places to go in Asheville (the other being Burial). Off the beaten path but if you want really good beer this is a destination. IPAs, sours, stouts, seltzer, smoothies etc are available. When researching the brewery scene for my visit this time I chose 2 for the beer offerings and atmosphere. One was One World (speakeasy vibe and 17oz pours) and New Origin (for IPAs offered). Was not disappointed at either. The IPAs at New Origin were on point with flavor, aroma and body. I tasted both stouts offered and took some home to share with my friends. Their space is very open with an airy, modern feel. This is a brewery that I will definitely visit again. Only beef was that they do not offer flights at this time but they do offer 1/2 pours.“

“Great place, lots of space, service was super nice! Will definitely be back!“

“Veteran owned and operated! The owner and I have actually been to some of the same places in Germany!! Everyone is very friendly!“

“First perk was plenty of parking. The whole location was very impressive upon walking in. All of the staff were great and happy to be there. This is different from the original Burial locations and they nailed the theme here. Plenty of great options to drink, including wine and mixed drinks. The food selection was good and mostly well priced. Our favorite part was exploring the property and it's rich history. So much room for gatherings big and small. Next time I would like to do a tour though.“

“Wife, our doggo and I stopped in to check it out. Just a great little spot and experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The beers were great and we got some BBQ to go. I will say it was some of the best BBQ we've had. Ribs, pulled pork and brisket were all excellent. Each of our 4 sides were great, but I must say the baked beans were top shelf. Definitely give this spot a shot if you love craft beers and bbq.“

“Dry Falls Brewing has an amazing vibe with an excellent variety of tasty beers. Jeff the owner sets the bar for fantastic customer service and knowledge of craft beer. Not only did he and his team do a great job of taking care of us, he also hooked us up with dinner reservations for 8 at a great restaurant, the Flat Rock Wood Room, on a Saturday night.“

“Awesome, family-friendly place!“

“Love it. Walked in this afternoon and was greeted by a very friendly bartender that took awesome care of us. After a couple of samples from a broad selection we settled in on some beers and went next door to order some Q, which was in itself excellent. Anyway, great time and will be back next time I'm in Arden.“

“Great place, lots of great beer and great venue for music/bands rain or shine. They have a big stage outside and a smaller one inside. Dog friendly too. Try the Black Bear on tap, if you like darker beer that one is great. Saw the Trophy Husbands band play there and they were awesome! Don't miss! Pizza food truck that night was too pricy but still good.“

“Great time! Highly recommend!“

“Event Space was perfect location to host Welcome Party (night before wedding). The air conditioned room was perfect size with the seating, the AV/speakers, the games, and photo booth. Having bathrooms on two levels was helpful, too. Robin and her crew were so helpful in the planning process. It was a great party!“

“Best sushi I’ve had! I came for my birthday and ordered the Electric Eel roll and was so happy with my choice. This roll had the perfect consistency with so many layers of flavor. You got the creaminess of the cream cheese and the avocado mixed with the savory flavor of the crab and salmon topped with the slightest slice of lemon and eel sauce that ties it all together. A great choice for a tasty roll that will fill you up!“

“We really enjoy this brewery. The food and drinks are great and the outdoor space is awesome. The kids play area is tucked in the woods next to a seating area and our son loves it. Definitely a place we make a point to visit when we are in the area.“

“One of my favorite breweries in Asheville, and that's saying something, because the competition is fierce. French Broad has some excellent beers. The wee heavy and kolsch are probably the two big favorites but I really haven't had any that aren't above average. The staff is really nice, very helpful. The atmosphere is laid back and unpretentious, which is welcome after visiting some of the trendy places in the central beer district. The pizza is also really good, too, surprisingly.
I'm from Cincinnati, which has a pretty robust brewery scene, and French Broad is the only brewery that I make absolutely sure I hit every time I go to Asheville. On merit alone, it's up there with the best breweries I've ever been to, and they aren't pricing the product in the same way that many other places do, which means on value, there's really nothing that comes close to French Broad.“

“this is one of the spots i frequent in the area, more so than any of the other breweries or cideries. the food always slaps, the staff is always amazing, the place is nice and clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for any weather or event. mike, the site manager, very obviously cares about the staff and customers. i have so many friends from l.a. that routinely ask to go when they’re in town. forever a simp for this spot ?“

“friendly bartender. nice suggestions on what else/where else we should try.“

“I’m know that my husband already left a review but these burgers are SO OUTSTANDING that I had to leave a review of my own. As I am eating my leftover smash burger for lunch today I am once again in burger heaven. The only thing more awesome than their burgers are the owners. Do not miss this food truck!! You will be hooked.. just like I am.“

“Good pizza! It's behind the brewery. A bit inconspicuous. Don't let that sway you. Order the supreme and add feta and shrooms. It's an 18" pie. Bring help, you'll need it. Outdoor dining or in the brewery. Neither are an issue. I'll be back for sure.

Parking: Parking is to the left or behind the building.“
