Brewery Profile

Dry Falls Brewing Co.

In the Busy Bend area of Hendersonville, this brewery gives visitors a look at how the city’s beer scene has grown through reuse of older local buildings. The taproom occupies the former Oates Paint and Body Shop, a business remembered as a local landmark for more than 70 years. Rather than replacing that history, the brewery restored the structure, including structural repairs and refinished floors, so the building’s earlier character remains part of the visit. When guests walk in, they are entering a working craft brewery and taproom with ties to Hendersonville’s past, not a purpose-built bar with a manufactured theme. Founders Jeff and Evan started as home brewers before opening the brewery in 2016, and that origin gives useful context for the scale and focus of the place.

Travelers in this part of North Carolina often look for brewery stops that offer a range of familiar styles along with something that changes from visit to visit. Dry Falls Brewing Co. fits that kind of itinerary by producing traditional craft beer styles such as Blonde Ales, Stouts, and IPAs, as well as rotating small-batch offerings. For visitors who prefer recognizable styles, the core range provides an approachable starting point. For those who like checking what is new on tap, the small-batch beers are the part to ask about. The brewery’s role is less about a single signature attraction and more about giving guests a local taproom experience connected to Hendersonville’s broader craft beer activity.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since rotating beers can change and specific tap lists are not fixed in the available information. The known visitor experience centers on the taproom itself, which also serves as a venue for community engagement. Details such as food options, event schedules, outdoor seating, to-go beer, parking, and current hours should be checked directly with the brewery before making a trip, especially for travelers working it into a larger Hendersonville or western North Carolina route. A stop here is best approached as a casual brewery visit in a restored neighborhood building, with the beer list and any extras verified at the source on the day you go.
