More than two years after first breaking ground, Sierra Nevada’s new North Carolina brewery is almost ready to open in Mills River.
The grand opening festival will be on August 3rd. Along with Sierra Nevada’s 12 collaboration brewers, they’ve invited every craft brewer from these states to serve their beers at the Southeast Edition: NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, FL, LA, AR and TN—more than 300!
Purchase your tickets for the August 3rd event at SierraNevada.com.
Nestled on a forested ridge just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, our second brewery is a temple to craft beer in an area where beer has become a way of life. We found a natural fit in this community that shares our passions for the outdoors, music, food, sustainable and conscientious living, and of course, great beer.
Our new brewery balances time-honored traditional brewing techniques and ultra-modern systems for quality and consistency—a foot in two worlds, old and new. Late this summer we’ll open our doors to visitors for the first time, and we kindly ask for patience as we complete this complex project.

We knew going in that building a second brewery was never going to be easy, but as the final stages of our state-of-the-art facility come to a close, we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished.
We hope to see you on Sunday, August 3, 2014, for the finale of our cross-country Beer Camp Across America tour.
