In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

The beer tenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There's a little indoor seating, more seating in a secondary area with pull down canvas sides and then several tables on artificial turf for nice sunny days when you want to be completely outside. They have a wide variety of local food trucks on a rotating basis parked in a slot right next to the bar and dining tables. They are close to downtown Hendersonville without being right on the main road, which makes parking and access easier.

Both beers were delicious...the HazeMe was not too hoppy, and not overly citrusy-just the right amount. The Dunkel Buck was light and full of flavor. We ordered a chipotle cheesesteak from Gordingo's , and that was very good, also. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend stopping here!

There are usually two beer pouring staffers behind the bar, and they know what they have behind the funny names given all the different beers. The music they play over the speakers is boring at best, and when asked to hear the tv audio in a separate room, where there was a sports event on tv, was told they couldn't do that because of copyright violations, I don't think that is true... Food here is good, but nothing really over the top.

Of course, I looked up the reviews on Yelp and was pleasantly surprised to see that they served traditional English pub fare with a good beer selection... yes please! Quite a few colorful locals were outside razzing each other and checking out my JDM van, so I felt at ease when walking in. The bartender greeted me warmly and was happy to make some food recommendations where Chicken Tikka Masala and Curry chicken were the local favorites. I opted for the chicken curry and was not disappointed! Just the right amount of curry spice, fresh rice, and oh-so-soft NAAN on the side. It really hit the spot. Bonus that the taps had a rotating English mild ale from a local brewery on tap and was the perfect pairing to the curry. All in all, a very fortuitous find!

It's a small brewery with no food service (but you can bring food in -- we had Sully's Steamers…read moresandwiches, just a couple doors up the street). The atmosphere is minimal, but the service was very good. The key thing though -- the beer itself -- it was great. Not just because we had come from a day of hiking in the Pisgah National Forest and needed a beer. It really is a great little brewery on par with the best ones in Asheville and with prices less than Asheville breweries. Their Munich Dunkel was a great dark beer with elements of a porter or stout but in the form of a lager. It reminded me of a great beer you'd get in a British or German pub. The schwarz bier, which is akin to a porter or stout, was also excellent. Very balanced and flavorful, without being overwhelming. We'll definitely stop in here for after-hike beers again!
