Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s Mills River location is the company’s East Coast home, a sprawling campus set along the French Broad River just outside Asheville. Since opening in the mid-2010s, it’s grown into one of the region’s most popular destinations for craft beer lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike, pairing serious brewing with a deep-rooted love of the outdoors.
Guests can explore miles of on-site hiking trails, including the wooded path down to the riverside Lower Park grove, alongside a full-service restaurant, tasting room, and event spaces. True to Sierra Nevada’s founding ethos, the Mills River brewery blends sustainability, community, and a genuine passion for the outdoors — making it a natural fit for hosting industry gatherings like OMS’s Forest Party.
