Mills River

CHECK OUT THE NEARBY ASHEVILLE AREA

Our Mills River brewery is just 20 miles south of Asheville, home to dozens of additional craft breweries. Its downtown is packed with beautiful art galleries, world-class dining, and iconic music venues — sometimes all on the same block! And nearby is the famed Biltmore Estate with more than 8,000 acres to explore. That might take a whole day, but we could say the same for our brewery: tour the brewhouse, feast in the Taproom, walk the trails, catch bluegrass in the Amphitheater. Whether we kick-start your trip or mark the finale, an Asheville visit is easily unforgettable.
