“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.“

“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 ?“

“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!“

“LOVE DRY FALLS! Father/son brewers, lovely bartenders, AMAZING variety. Along your traditional brews they offer a variety of sours, seltzers and NA beers. Food trucks daily and weekly events like live music, trivia (but totally blanking on what they call it... Not your traditional style of trivia) and music bingo. Also able to buy a beer for service workers, first responder, UTILITY WORKERS, teachers, etc. so you can "pay it forward". Dog friendly. 10/10, one of my favorite places in Hendo!!“

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

“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.“

“Always a great time! Concerts, markets and tbe BEER is ALWAYS on point! Love the rotating mutant line, love coming out there for Nug Boat. The food truck knows what's up. We love seeing and meeting all the puppers, literally come out some times just to meet folks furry friends. The employees are always awesome. I don't have one negative thing to say about this place. In my opinion, Oskar Blues is the best brewery, ever.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome, family-friendly place!“

“This is my new favorite destination. ALL the food is fresh and fabulous. We like the beer but it's the food!!!!!!“

“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.“
