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 had a great time on this tour! Cody was a fun, personable, and knowledgable river guide. Spending an afternoon enjoying the weather, river, and great beer was a beautiful way for our group to experience a city we already love. Highly recommend and would absolutely do again.
