The French Broad Brewing Company’s Tasting Room

Friday night a friend asked us to meet her for a beer at the French Broad Brewing Company’s Tasting Room, which is located at 101 Fairview Road, here in Asheville, NC. So, we headed out and found it near the railroad tracks, very close to Biltmore Village. It’s in a large warehouse-type building with a number of other businesses.

We’d never been there before – another Asheville adventure. So many things here to discover! It was early – about 4:30pm – and we were the first people there. They are open Tuesday through Saturday from 1pm till 8pm. And they have free music every night starting about 6pm.

The beer, of course, is great. They had about six of their beers on tap for $3.50 a pint or $2.50 a half pint. One of the beers was re-session priced at $2.50 a pint and that’s what our friend had. We all loved what we got and sat sipping and snacking on the free pretzles, talking about our latest adventures and plans as the band gradually moved in and unpacked.

I saw a sign that said all pints are $2.50 on Mondays. I think they are open the same hours on Mondays but don’t have music. That wasn’t clear. But check out their website and plan to visit when you’re here. And don’t forget to stay with us at Lovers’ Loop Retreat, the best accommodations option we know of in the area!
