This is a new local brewery for Hendersonville. They usually have a food truck out front, and their beers are pretty awesome! We love hefeweizens, and they have some great witbiers. We especially enjoyed the White Water Wit, but sampled others while we were at it. Talk to Evan. He is VERY happy to talk to you about any of his beers!
They also have live music, so this is a great hangout for locals!
