The 1st Annual Blue Ridge Beer Festival is taking over Blue Ridge Beer Garden on Saturday, May 30, 2026, bringing together more than 20 incredible breweries for one unforgettable day of craft beer, live music, great food, and mountain-town vibes.

This isn't just another beer festival—it's a celebration of everything that makes the Western North Carolina beer scene special. You'll find hometown favorites like Whistle Hop Brewing Co., Lookout Brewing Company, and Oklawaha Brewing Company pouring alongside some of the biggest names in craft beer, including Wicked W**d Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Other Half Brewing, Fonta Flora Brewery, and Lawson's Finest Liquids.

Expect rare pours, barrel-aged beers, special releases, and plenty of opportunities to discover your next favorite brew.

🎶 Live music kicks off with The Apple Country String Band from 1:30–3:30 PM, followed by Phuncle Sam's Grateful Dead tribute from 4–7 PM. Food trucks will be serving all day, and the event is dog-friendly, so bring your crew and make a day of it.

VIP guests get in at 1 PM with access to 25 exclusive additional taps and a curated gift bag. General Admission begins at 2 PM.

Hendersonville has never seen a beer festival quite like this. Be there for the first one and help make history.

🍺 Tickets are on sale now!

AB(C) Tech Goes From Classrooms to Craft Spirits

For one day, Asheville's A-B Tech might need a temporary name change: AB(C) Tech.

No, the college isn't opening a state-run liquor store. But when the WNC Whiskey Festival rolls in on Saturday, May 30, the campus conference center is going to feel a whole lot like North Carolina's biggest ABC store — minus the checkout lines and fluorescent lighting, and plus 40+ distilleries, tastings, and whiskey enthusiasts who actually want to be there.

The event is being hosted with support from Explore Asheville, Buncombe County's tourism organization, funded through occupancy tax revenue from overnight visitors. The mission is simple: attract visitors, generate activity, support local businesses, and keep building the kind of experiences that put Asheville on people's travel lists.

It's a virtuous cycle, really. Visitors fill hotel rooms. Hotel taxes fund tourism. Tourism supports events. Events bring more visitors.

Asheville built its national reputation on craft beer, shaping the region's food, beverage, and tourism identity for years. Now whiskey and craft distilling are finding their own foothold in Western North Carolina's ever-growing beverage scene.

Beer may still be Asheville's most famous pour — but for one afternoon, A-B Tech becomes AB(C) Tech.

We don’t talk about this part enough…

The constant juggling.
Work, schedules, meals, responsibilities… and somewhere in there, trying to hold onto a little bit of yourself.

As parents, even something as simple as going out can feel complicated. You want a place where your kids feel welcome—but also somewhere you can breathe for a moment too.

And that’s where Asheville quietly gets it right.

Around here, breweries have become something more than just a place to grab a drink. They’ve turned into spaces where families can exist together—kids playing freely, parents slowing down just enough to reconnect, whether there’s a beer in hand or not.

Because sometimes it’s not about the drink…
It’s about the moment.

If you’re looking for spots that work for both you and your kids, this is a good place to start: https://hikecookshare.com/kid-friendly-breweries-in-asheville/
