Grand Opening of Appalachian Mountain Brewery – Mills River

Appalachian Mountain Brewery – Mills River is opening a brand new tap room in Mills River, and celebrating with a Grand Opening Party this Friday and Saturday! Their doors will open Friday, at noon, with a ribbon-cutting with the Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce to follow at 4pm. The weekend plans are jam packed with fresh beer, elevated comfort food, and live music in the beer garden. The first 200 guest on Friday and Saturday will also receive a special commemorative glass.

♥️ For the kids, they’ll have a full food menu with kids menu, custom coloring pages, crayons, a fully fenced in beer garden with many picnic tables, shade, games to play, and a play table featuring sand/gravel and bulldozers and other toys. We also love that although it’s very welcoming of kids and dogs from day one, they have aspirations for more elaborate kids areas in the future!
