“ Dope staff, a no-tipping kinda place (still trying to figure this out, but the staff is behind it and makes it go quick when it's poppin inside), and host my favorite vegan food truck, Smokin' Onion, every Tuesday! Personally love the Paloma beer Dominga, 8% sour-ish and is vegan-friendly - outside (roof and no roof) is an awesome setup! ”

“ Fun place to spend a Saturday! A huge front lawn where people were hanging out talking, kids playing, people laying out on the grass, etc. It's right along a river which makes for a nice view on the other side of the brewery, as well. Stay was very cool and they have no problem with samples if you're not sure what you want. My husband and I both loved Juice Force! Great tasting beer. The Honey Orange Tripel was pretty heavy on the honey in my opinion. I tried their Fruit Smash Hard Seltzer- Berry Blast and thought the taste was a little weak, a little watered down. Lastly, I got a Tart Lychee. It had a strong cinnamon tasted but I really enjoyed it. They do have a small food menu but we ordered from the food trucks on the lawn. The grilled cheese one was awesome! Both parking lots were full on a Saturday afternoon but we found street parking not too far away. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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. ”

“ Located near Asheville along the French Broad River that offers brewery tours and beer tastings near the River Arts District. Open daily 12-8 They 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. ”

“ 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 friendly Plenty of Parking A little off the beaten path so use your GPS ”
