Fantastic brewery with the nicest owners and staff serving the best European beer styles anywhere around!
So tasty and so glad we stopped for beer here, the food smelled really goo too but we were full! Superb English Style Ales , properly poured with an old style pump! wish we lived closer!
We stopped off the highway on our way home from the mountains, looking for a brewery that was dog-friendly...hit the spot at Whaley Farm! Their brews are thoughtfully created
Best brewery in WNC!
My favorite brewery in WNC (and beyond!).
Fresh & authentic beers, friendly staff, local veggies and an amazing family atmosphere. The beers are a wonderful combination of both historic and creative.
If you haven’t been- GO!
Love, love, love this place and these people (the owners and additional staff)! The beers are simply amazing (plus they have some delish NA options), and they have equally unique and mouth watering food options with the rotating food trucks & popups! Awesome vibe, beautiful space, and can’t wait till they are recovered from the flood so they can brew in larger quantity and extend their hours again! Come with a book or bring the kids and pets, and don’t worry about your dirty overalls- you’ll feel welcome regardless. So thankful these folks are rebuilding - they were right in the middle of the flood 🫤.
I thought I didn’t like lagers… I just hadn’t had good ones. My mom has disliked beer her whole life till trying Chris’s brews- everything he makes is unique while still being approachable. Hard to make brews that satisfy everyone- from the farmers wanting a refreshing and no frills draft, to a grandma who ‘only drinks wine’, to a fancy pants cicerone, but he seems to satisfy all palates! Plus we simply LOVE the atmosphere- it’s beautiful inside and out (check out the planters!!), and I love the vibe and feel welcome no matter when I go in or what I’m wearing. Super family and pet friendly, and essential neighborhood haunt!
The absolute best beers and owners/staff in WNC. A true gem in the town Old Fort. . Amazing place!!
Finally stopped after leaving Hillman to give them a try. But the fact they will not offer a taste I was not willing to spend $8 for a mistake. Will not go back. They missed out on making some money for sure. We stop at Hillman often.
Hands down the best beer in WNC. The owners are simply wonderful people who are passionate about brewing and using locally sourced botanicals as well as cultivating a welcoming and beautiful atmosphere. So thrilled to have them back open after the storm. Looking forward to the farm store returning also!

Beer was incredible along with the atmosphere. Have driven by so many times and finally stopped in. Now it’s time to make up for lost time. The beer has blown me away and I can’t wait to spend all of my money here.
If your looking for a great hometown brewery this is the place to go because it’s constantly busy
They have cask pour beer! The 1910 London porter is really good. It is very similar to some that I have had in England. My wife had the Berliner Weisse she really enjoyed it. Dogs are welcome inside, and the wood fired pizza, food truck, was awesome. Also, on the inside, they have local farm fresh produce. Overall, it was a very nice little brewery, off the beaten path. If you are driving by , I recommend stopping by.
Great little brewery, some unusual beers for true beer lovers!! Place is very cute. Staff knows there beer and are really nice. I highly recommend, take a short detour off I-40, you won't reset it!
Good beer, fresh farm goods on site, and a lot of seating outdoors. Friendly and helpful staff. Had a pizza truck which was great!
