This floating brewery tour down the French Broad River hits the sweet spot between relaxed adventure and craft beer exploration. The raft rides are described as calm and comfortable, stopping at three distinct breweries where you'll have plenty of time to sample local brews, grab food, and even play yard games. Guides like Walker, Tim, Rachel, and Cody consistently earn praise for being friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining with their dad jokes and corny humor that keep the vibe upbeat. The experience works beautifully for different occasions, from couples celebrating anniversaries to bachelor and bachelorette parties. Guests love the chill atmosphere and the chance to support Asheville's local brewery scene while taking in gorgeous river scenery. The guides bring thoughtful touches like coolers with ice and speakers for music, plus they're skilled at sharing interesting tidbits about the river and area history. If you're looking for a unique way to experience Asheville's craft beer culture without the intensity of whitewater rafting, this laid-back float consistently delivers memorable afternoons.
We did a a 4 hr float trip Starting at 2:00pm. It was just my wife and I so we shared a raft with two other small groups so a total of seven of us. We had a blast I Love meeting new people and our guide Levi was the best and told us a lot about the French river and the surrounding area and spent time with each group at the three stops. The float was super chill and the stops all had great beer/Drinks and snacks. We brought a small cooler with beer but they had a cooler there that you could put your drinks in and you could get to-go beers at each stop.
