Brewery Profile

New Belgium Brewing Co

On Craven Street along the French Broad River, this Asheville facility shows a large-production side of the city’s beer scene rather than a small neighborhood brewhouse model. Established in 2016, the 130,000 square foot brewery serves as New Belgium Brewing Co.’s East Coast production hub, supplementing the company’s original operations in Fort Collins, Colorado. A visitor arriving here encounters a working brewery built around scale, including a 200-barrel brewing system, with a public-facing liquid center and outdoor seating areas near the river greenway. The setting gives the visit a mix of industrial brewing context and casual riverfront access.

Travelers coming through Asheville often look for brewery stops that connect beer with the landscape and pace of the region. This site fits that pattern through its position by the French Broad River, while also offering a view into a nationally distributed craft brewery’s operations. The beers most associated with the facility include widely available flagships such as Fat Tire Amber Ale and the Voodoo Ranger IPA series, which are distributed nationally from this location. For visitors comparing Asheville breweries, the appeal here is less about discovering a small local-only producer and more about seeing how a major craft brand operates in the city.

Practical expectations should be kept simple: the liquid center is the place to confirm the day’s pours, and the outdoor seating areas provide the clearest connection to the adjacent river greenway. Details such as current hours, tour availability, food options, and event schedules should be checked directly with the brewery before visiting, since they can change. The company’s certified B Corporation status is part of its public identity, reflecting commitments tied to environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. For a visitor, that background may add context, but the main on-site experience is still centered on the brewery’s Asheville production role and its public tasting space.
