On a recent trip with our good friends Cindy and Buck – we scheduled a tour of the brewery –

Sierra Nevada – just outside Ashville, N.C.

Entrance to the lobby and what a sight to behold – really beautiful – well done!

The kitchen is to the left – the bar in the middle is serviced from all sides – and seating is all around.

You had over a dozen on-tap brews!

The draft beer list is on tap! We also had a beer tasting at the end of the tour.

From here you can see into the different rooms and some we were allowed to go into with the guide!

The hops room and as soon as I entered it smelled just like beer!

Five copper vats for each stage of brewing!

There were two of these vats for the final stage. Everything was so clean – their first brewery is in Chico, Calif.

We also could see the plant floor although it was past quitting time – all the cans and bottles were packed by hand – and the whole place was very clean.

We had a great tour and tasted four very good beers – one of which is only made for this brewery here for tasting – that was my favorite – a German brew!
