4 Best Craft Breweries near Hickory

“I enjoy going there with my dog and having a burger and a beer. He even knows what that means. You can order from cranford brothers through a kiosk and bring it down when ready. They have open air, covered with screens and heaters and inside seating. We love it!“

“Had to find a brewery for our day trip out to Hickory and happy we chose Olde Hickory. I loved the aesthetic of the carved out bar in the brewery. Parking was right around the corner - you could definitely miss it if you weren’t looking for it. Not a ton of parking, but it’s a pretty small bar area. I love that they had several TVs up and were playing college football and basketball. That’s a way to my heart. Everyone was very friendly. I had a flight and my wife had the Christmas Ale. I think of the four beers of my flight, I really liked one, liked two others, and didn’t love the last but beer is subjective to the taste buds of the drinker.

I’m glad we went and next time we are in town we will try to stop in again to try some more beers.“

“Found it on Google on a Sunday afternoon and went to check it out. This brewery is laid back and chill. I really loved how everyone was just friendly when you walk in. The brewery area is fairly small. On this day we had no trouble getting a table. The young lady serving us was awesome and gave us many samples to help us decide which brew we wanted. The beer was great as was the atmosphere. I highly recommend you visit.“

“I moved into the area back in November 2025, and went around sampling the food, drink, and mostly the ambiance and general vibe of pretty much all of the local establishments. The B-Chord has made its way to the top of my list of go-to places. Whether for full meals with friends or a couple cheeky mid-day IPS, the beautiful clean pub always has great music playing, the important games on a few screens, and most importantly a wonderful, friendly staff of folks who always seem genuinely happy to see you. Try it once… you’ll become a regular.“
