beer at Sierra Nevada Asheville brewery

Sierra Nevada

The founder of this sustainable brewery started brewing beer as a teenager, and never stopped. Enjoy their many options, from wheats, ales, IPAs, stouts and sours, and even a domesticated wild ale that’s great now but will also progress in the bottle over many years (if you can wait that long to drink it). They also have an option for those that want something other than beer – their natural and organic Strainge Beast Hard Kombucha. In addition to the variety of beers on tap, you can sample Southern-inspired plates, relax with friends indoors or outside, and explore the beauty of their nature trail.
