We were first introduced to this brewery at a bar we frequent in Louisville, KY. When visiting…read moreAsheville a few months later, we made a special trip out to the farm (about an hour away) and it was so worth it!! This brewery specializes in using local ingredients and natural fermentation in many of their beers which makes for fantastic unique flavors. The location is really pretty & the taproom is homey. They only have snacks as food, but you can bring your own. LOVED LOVED LOVED this place!

The staff was so friendly ... and patient as we sampled a few of their selections (again, everything sounds so good!!) The outdoor area is beautiful with tons of seating, and we loved hanging out in the milking barn - it's way cooler inside and perfect for escaping the sun for a bit. There was a pizza truck and a taco food truck while we were there, and both were so good. We ended up walking around the property for a while - loved that we could bring our dog ... he loved it too!!! The whole place was just really peaceful and fun to explore. Great beer, great vibes, great views... we'll definitely be back!

Our experience at The Pineola was terrible. We booked a cabin for a family wedding, expecting a…read morenicer, more professional experience. Instead we got disappointment at every turn. Upon our arrival, we wanted to start a fire in the gas fireplace in the cabin. I reached out to the Pineola contact I had been communicating with via text and asked for directions for lighting the fireplace. Their response was to send a link to a document that didn't provide instructions. We then received a text that said the fireplace was not able to be used at that time. We expressed our disappointment, as that was one of the reasons we booked the cabin. There was no offer to move us to another cabin or any other accommodation. The next morning we had to reach out to them once again to ask about how to turn the heat up in the cabin, as the inside temperature had gotten to 56 degrees. After much work, we finally figured it out. Also that morning the water was out throughout the property. We were alerted at 8:45 AM via text, with no alternative suggestions for bathroom usage or showering facilities. The closest toilet we found was at the BP station down the street, and since we had family functions that day, showering was soon needed. The water finally came on at 12:00 PM. While the water was out, we received a standard text asking if there was anything they could do to improve our experience. I responded that it had not been a good experience: in addition to these issues, the décor was run-down, bed was lumpy, water pressure (when we had it) was low. I asked how they planned to compensate us for the inconveniences. They responded that the water issue was a surprise and that the fireplace in the unit was just for show. In fact, the fireplace was NOT for show, as it had a pilot switch and regulator attached. The cabin was also advertised with a fireplace on a detailed sheet on the website. We never received information on compensation, nor compensation in general. At that point, my husband and I decided to move to the Marriott Courtyard and sent a text that we were checked out. Our needs were dismissed and we were directly lied to about the amenities or lack thereof. To add to our frustration, the person on the text refused to provide the full name of the General Manager of the property when requested so that we could communicate with him/her directly rather than through a general email, preventing us from speaking directly with the person in charge to take responsibility for addressing the issues. We sent repeated emails requesting compensation with nothing but standard emails thanking us for the stay, no direct, personal response.

Plus, the tap room has cold beer and great live music. My favorite mug was purchased at their gift shop (which has a ton of fun stuff!), but unfortunately I dropped it. So, I'm looking forward to going back & getting a new one! I've stayed at the Pineola many times now and the staff were always incredibly attentive and friendly. Whenever we plan our hiking trips, I don't even bother looking at other lodging options, because we love staying at the Pineola!

My favorite was the El Chupacabra, which had a smooth profile with prominent vanilla and chocolate flavors. The ambiance was relaxed and welcoming, and the prices were extremely reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it and am already looking forward to coming back.
