6 Best Craft Breweries near Dillsboro

“Their beers were just okay, everyone in our group thought the lager and blonde tasted the exact same. However, the scenery was gorgeous since it's right on the river so that made it worth it. A plus is they're dog friendly with dog bowls!“

“Great brewery, the owner Greg is very personable and great knowledge of beers. Makes great combinations and every beer we tried we enjoyed. My Wife and I made the trip from Gatlinburg and weren’t disappointed, and got to see some Elk around 430 pm back to our Air BnB through Newfound Gap Rd“

“We rented our Innovation Cullowhee to host welcome drinks for our wedding. Booking everything was super easy and the Innovation crew were incredible in getting details and setting up things. This is an awesome location with lots of games, great drinks, and super helpful staff. I'd also say don't sleep on the homemade ginger beer!“

“HARD TO FIND lol huge sign on the side of building but entrance is a small door past where you’d expect. We walked into a pizza place and tried to order beer. OOPS. Service is better here than the other innovation location but it may of just been the time of day we came.They have a big selection, cool vibes with darts and do half pours!!“

“This is my second time being at Balsam, I adore this place! The staff is so incredible, I ordered the “The BrewMaster’s burger” and the Raspberry cider, a side of fries and beer cheese. I mentioned that I’m allergic to Blue Cheese and I think two or three people communicated that (in all fairness it probably isn’t the best thing for me to order since the highlight is Blue Cheese). I was extremely impressed that they took my food allergy seriously, even though it’s foolish of me to order something with a component of a severe allergy. The fries were perfection, the beer cheese was delicious, and didn’t have a funky after taste, the burger was extremely good (though it was missing the star of the show, Blue Cheese). The onions and mushrooms were sautéed perfectly. Overall the experience after being on the road for hours was warm and welcoming, food was one point and the service makes you feel at home. ♥️ Thank you, Balsam♥️“

“Yum! Kristen greeted us with a cheerful welcome and continued the outstanding service throughout our entire experience of picking our on tap and lunch. I highly recommend stopping in post hike to recover with an awesome meal and drink. Thanks for the excellent service, food and experience!“
