Reserve a Table
We offer a limited number of reservations that can be booked in advance, while keeping the majority of our tables open for walk-in guests to ensure a welcoming experience for everyone.
Important information
- Online reservations are available for parties of up to 12 guests.
- If no reservations are available, you're welcome to join our live waitlist before traveling to the brewery.

- We do our best to seat guests at their exact reservation time. However, there may be rare occasions when your table is not ready at the scheduled time. In such cases, we will make every effort to seat you as quickly as possible.
- Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
- While we'll do our best to honor special requests, we cannot guarantee them.

Live Entertainment
Free music returns in March on Saturday & Sunday
Whether sitting under the stars or the sunlight, our open-air amphitheater is sure to knock your hops off. With a wooded backdrop and expansive seating area, you can lounge on the lawn while regional musicians take the stage each Saturday and Sunday for free shows. Grab a cold one from the converted milk truck bar or the Back Porch taps for the best rhythm, blues, and brews Western North Carolina has to offer.
Perched above the Taproom, our modern industrial High Gravity venue wows with vaulted ceilings and access to a generous balcony overlooking our outdoor amphitheater and gardens. Jam to live music, catch a film festival, or just retreat from the summer heat with a cold pint — choose from 24 rotating taps.
