New Belgium Brewing - Asheville

Unfortunately we didn't get a tour but looking forward to when they reopen. The mech was on point so much so my boyfriend got a pretty sweet bomber jacket. Jonathan said the beer was great lol.

Great brewery! Have a great list of beers available and the venue is so dope! Wish we could have gone on the tour but due to the hurricane they are closed. Everyone is very nice and the views of the river are amazing.

Our friends recommended this brewery's 90 minute tour, and we were so glad they did. We checked in for our tour at the bar in the main building at the parking lot. We had 10 minutes before the tour, so we sampled a couple of beers, looked at the merchandise for sale (hats, tees, socks, etc.), and used the clean bathrooms that had cup holders in each stall. We met outside with another couple for our tour with Lydia, who was an exceptional guide. We were on the 2PM tour on July 9, 2024. We started at the entrance to the brewery, walking over the creek that was lush with greenery. Lydia told us about the environmentally minded founders who bought the brown site in 2012. After renovating and building on it, New Belgium opened in 2016. First stop was the brew house, with 5 vessels for brewing beer. We each sampled one of the Voodoo Ranger IPAs. We had four different ones: Fat Tire (Tom liked this one), 1985 Mango (Husband liked this one), Domingo Paloma (really good!), and 1554, a black lager (Tom's wife enjoyed this). We looked into each Tun, and saw details about what was going on in each by looking up at the HMI video panel. The next stop was a hallway with a cow shaped board full of detritus from the grounds when it was dug up and built upon: keys, tools, nuts, bolts and more. Letters on the wall were pictures from the past use of the area: circus folk, cars and trucks, farm animals and more. To get downstairs, we could take the stairs or slide down the slide. Guess what we 4 did?? And we loved it!! Bicycles were on display everywhere - at the entrance, in the brew house, above our heads. After one year at the brewery, an employee receives the newest edition mountain bicycle. We walked past a wooden heart (employees place a trinket on it after working here) to a replica bar from Brugs, Brussels, where the idea of New Belgium blossomed. We were invited to sample one of 3 New Belgium sours: Tart Lychee, Trippell, and La Folie. Our favorite was Tart Lychee. We walked the hallway - peeked inside the cooler full of New Belgium beers & walked past a room where several employees were testing and creating beers. Our last stop was a room overlooking the conveyer belts and the employees packaging bottles (not operational on 7/9) and cans (fully operational). This was our last chance to sample Voodoo Ranger IPAs: Mango, Imperial, Juice Force, and Tropic Force. Juice Force was my favorite! Lydia posed for me with a Voodoo Ranger Bobblehead. She was an exuberant, knowledgeable, and well spoken guide! Lydia took us outside, and we walked a path by the creek back to the entrance, and main building. The area is beautiful! We highly recommend coming here to just look around, have a beer, or take this informative & delicious tour!

Located near Asheville along the French Broad River that offers brewery tours and beer tastings near the River Arts District.Open daily 12-8They do not serve food but there is usually a food truck on site.Beers are super cheap. Had the Mountain Time which is a light lager. If you don't want to sit inside the tasting room overlooking the river,there are plenty of tables outside near the food truck. Great for families. Parking is available in the lot or on the street.

It had a good vibe and we tried classic flight. The service was very pleasant and good, and so is the ambiance- they made a pretty good effort in keeping their tables and area clean all the time. They have some food trucks as well in the area for small eats. We couldn't do their brewing tour but would definitely be adding it to our list for our next visit.

New Belgium is a "must visit" when in Asheville. We had tried to make plans for a Sunday tour (they offer several 90 minutes tours). Had a problem with the website and was only able to book one spot and there was two of us and they were now sold out. Decided to go for beers anyway and I mentioned that I wouldn't be doing the tour since it was sold out and didn't want to leave my wife behind.Talk about great customer service. A woman who I assume was a manager offered to for my wife into the tour. I explained that we had now made other plans so she refunded my ticket and bought us each a beer. They get five stars just for Customer Service but the building and property are almost as amazing as their beers were. Front lawn is very open, spacious tasting room and cool back deck with outdoor heaters. The small breweries in town were great but this place is a destination. Check them out!Kid friendlyPlenty of ParkingA little off the beaten path so use your GPS

This is probably one of my favorite breweries I've ever been to. I love New Belgium beers, but they also have their other beers on tap, like Voodoo Ranger. There's plenty of space inside and out, including green space which was perfect for my feral children to run around. The bathroom stalls had cup holder inside the stalls for your beer (ifykyk) and the staff were all very friendly. There were food trucks parked offering a variety of choices. Next time I definitely see myself doing the tour.

Not really a fan. Only food is an overpriced pizza truck today. They don't do custom flights, despite their easy ability to. They only do the flights they want to do. Had to get small pours of a few beers. They are completely different than all the other Friendly breweries around here. They're a big business and it seems like it when you come here. Not horrible, but they're definitely out of touch with the competition around here. Not gonna be back.

We came here to check out the scenery and have a few drinks before dinner. They make their own beers and have quite a few of them. Fat Tire was a great one and was a cool place to hang out. Bartenders were great and would come back to hang again.

Happy times!! First time at New Belgium. The HARD sour tea...a party in my mouth. All ages, kids playing, food trucks, a view of the river. This spot is bangin. Like it's somewhere you should go if in Asheville. It's one of those. Go! Now!! Yes.
