River and Brews - Small Town Craft Brewers Festival
Description
Just west of Asheville, you’ll find some hidden gems buried in the small mountain towns of WNC. From local breweries with unique and tasty pours, to creative artisans and quality craftspeople, these folks help make Western North Carolina as unique as the rivers that flow here.
Join us for a celebration of local breweries, music, and food! You’ll taste beers from five local breweries, shop artisans and craftspeople, and enjoy sweet sounds from local bands and musicians, all in one magical place we call the Nantahala Gorge.
Guest Breweries include:
- Mountain Layers
