After more than two years, we are excited to announce that our highly anticipated tasting room will open at 4 pm, Friday, March 4th, 2011.
During the final days of permitting, we discovered that the Town of Bryson City requires any facility selling alcohol in the town (including the brewery) to have all their ABC permits including mixed beverage (liquor). So, although we do not have any immediate plans to offer mixed beverages, we were required to make our tasting room a “private club” as defined by the NC ABC Commission to qualify for a mixed beverage license. In short, that simply means that we have to charge an annual membership fee. Here are the details:
Basic Membership: $5 per member
Benefits:
- Comes with a Nantahala Brewing Company pint glass valued at $5.
- Invites to special events.
- Ability to book the space for private events (based on availability).
- May bring up to 6 guests.
All members are required to follow the Tasting Room Rules & Regulations. A copy of the rules and regs are available at the brewery during normal business hours.
If you have any questions about membership, please call Joe at (828) 488-2337 Ext. 2.

North Carolina Brewery Tasting Rooms
For anyone who might now be familiar with North Carolina brewery tastings rooms, our tasting room is basically a brewery owned beer bar. On day one, we will have 4 – 5 of our brews available, but at some point in the future, we will also offer guest brews from some of our peers throughout the state and our favorites from across the country. In addition to beer, soda and water will be available for children, designated drivers and any non-drinkers who pay us a visit.
Looking forward to visiting your tasting room on our trip!! We try to visit all the breweries in each town/city we visit!
