Hillman Beer was always a favorite of mine when I lived in the area. Their kale salad was an all time fav! I grabbed a burger with a side of kale salad and an order of fries to go. The kale salad after all these years still stands as my favorite kale salad.. from anywhere. The burger was just as good as I remember it being too. They have a ton of outdoor seating both out front and out back + indoor seating. Staff is always friendly and was exceptionally helpful yesterday with my to go order. Standard brewery ambiance but has great food! read more

Great vibe at Hillman Beer with live music, outdoor patio seating surrounding the indoor seating, very family and pet friendly and chill staff. Food was good and they have a great selection of beer. Families were out enjoying the sun, scene, and sounds of life music interspersed with the nearby creek. Well worth the visit! read more

First time at Hillman. It was perfect for our visit to Asheville. We met some friends there and sampled multiple different kinds of beer. Everything was amazing! I recommend the Porter and the strawberry saison. We ordered a few different foods, including pimento cheese and the chicken sandwich. Both were amazing and it made me want to lick the bowl. I definitely recommend this place! read more

After the kind words from the management I've decided to update my review. It was a hot day and I looked at all the positives from this business and I think my experience was probably a rare occurrence. I wish you the best as your area recovers. read more

Our first time here was their 9 year anniversary party. I had perused their website prior and was disappointed that the two beers I'd selected -- a wit and a Hefeweizen -- were not on tap. Instead I selected the Strawboobies Saison. Music was playing and we were lucky enough to grab a small table for two where we could hear the music but were out of the sun. For my next beer I had the Currant Mistake which I liked better than the Saison. Husband enjoyed his two beers as well. Lastly, we both ordered the pork bowl which had a lot of flavor and was a good portion size. Bartenders were friendly and attentive -- you order and pay at the bar. Overall a great spot to hang out for beer, music and food. read more

The only negative thing I have to say about this place is that it is in Asheville and I am not. This is a new favorite brewery for me! It was full of fun vibes. The beer was fantastic (I got a flight and each one was great!), the food was delicious (you MUST try the pimento cheese dip), and the server was amazing! I can't wait to come back and try other beer and food! read more

Tried out Hillman Beer, while perusing different breweries in the Asheville area. Hillman is a nice little spot that offers a good selection of parking and a mix of beer and food options. The location was busy and staff was nice. The interior was furnished with a lot of high top tables to accompany different sized groups. We ordered a pretzel and beer cheese, and were thoroughly surprised by the size and that there were two. The beer was beer, and they did have seltzer options which is always a nice surprise. read more

Been back several times for wing night, burger night and just for beers. All the food has been the best we had at a brewery so far. Staff is friendly and the place is always busy. Parking can be a bit challenging some times. A little loud inside when packed and especially if they have live music. Defines in our top five breweries in Asheville if not our favorite... read more

With family in town we had to hit some breweries. Hillman was one of the first we thought of, as it was closeby Biltmore/Village. The cubannnnn was so good, that and their pretzel! The waiter who brought us our food was nice and had fun with us, and the relatives enjoyed watching whatever game was on. Very chill, easy parking, in and outdoor seating which is a blessing with small kids read more

Best beer. Best staff. Great vibe. Delicious food. Favorite local brewery! Beer is outstanding and staff is friendly and knowledgeable !

Solid beer, nothing terribly memorable, but decent food and a great place to sit outside in the evening for a drink or quick meal. Nothing bad, but nothing outstanding. There are definitely better breweries in Asheville l. read more

Always amazing! Freshest burger. The ingredients are fresh as well as the bread. Our second time here. The service is quick, you just order at the bar, with our without a tab. Ambiance is cute. Family style for those with big parties. There's also outdoor seating and seating for just 2. We love stopping here on our way home. The service is always quick and efficient. read more

We sat inside. We had lots of room. Beer was delicious and we order fry's, pretzels and pimento dip for appetizers! So yummy! For lunch we had grill cheese and bacon sandwiches and a hamburger! All were tasty! I will return! read more

Momma Bear is a must try brown ale. The cuban sandwich was delicious. Outdoor seating was relaxing and nice.

We were originally going to another place around the corner but their kitchen was closing early so we stumbled upon Hillman and we were so happy with the unexpected detour. The vibe is really cool both inside and outside. The beers are really good and liked their cider too. It's cool that they make their own cider and hard seltzer. The food was really good and it's definitely a place I would return next time I'm in town. Bartenders were really friendly and the food came out super fast. It was amazing to hear about how much hurricane damage they had and how they rebuilt so quickly. Definitely go support them! read more

Hillman has great food, drinks, and ambiance. They have the perfect set up for both indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit where we could see the creek and enjoy the outdoor setting. I loved how many different beers they had, and the food was good too! I would suggest getting the burger and fries over the rice bowl, and the pimiento cheese was delicious! read more

Met a co worker for lunch. We were greeted by a very bubbly person , Emily who made us feel so welcome. She was a very attentive and made sure we were not rushed. It was sunny but very windy so we sat inside. You order at the bar and they will bring your food out to you. Of course we each had a beer both tasty. fFor lunch I had the club sandwich and my friend had the chicken sandwich both came with homemade chips. Both meals were also good and tasty. Forgot to take pics of food Definitely recommend this brewery. We will return. read more

We have been to all the hillman's over the years, Biltmore, Old Fort and Morganton but the service and attention we get from Nate and the servers in Biltmore is absolutely phenomenal, besides having great beer and food Nate always welcomes us and strives to make sure we are happy and taken care of!!! 10 stars to Nate. Please keep he around he is Hillman thru and thru! read more

I liked the flight I bought, and ended up taking a four-pack of Old Fort Original home with me. But I don't remember anytime when I was more disappointed by a Reuben sandwich than I was here. When it came out, the sandwich was beautiful (and the fries were really good!). I bit into one half, and the bread was perfectly toasted and buttery. There was plenty of cornbeef and swiss. It should have been amazing. But their "special" sauce was almost sour - I expected a version of Russian dressing, but instead it was very unpleasant. I ate half of the sandwich because there wasn't a lot of dressing and everything else about it was done so well, but I finally had to give up on it. That sauce ruined the sandwich; I have no idea why they would use something so bad tasting. I honestly would have rated this place two stars or even one star if I hadn't had their beer. If I ever return, it will be for a beer or two, but definitely not for the food. read more

Hillman is a nice neighborhood bar on the outskirts of Biltmore Village and just far enough away from the main gate of the Biltmore Estate to keep most tourists away. There is lots of outdoor seating (and indoor) and one of the most dog-friendly breweries in the area. We usually go for beers but the food menu is also good. Tonight, we had the smash burger and fries, and the kale salad with fried chicken. Both were good and filling. We also enjoyed the Thursday night beer special (Saison), the Oktoberfest and my favorite, Mama Bear. Bar service can be a bit slow if there's a crowd as there was on this night and we didn't realize until a bit later that it was trivia night. Kudos to the staff for walking around with a handheld device to replenish food and drink and close out tabs. read more

Super awesome brewery right outside of Biltmore village. Indoor and outdoor seating is offered, it's dog friendly, and the burger and wings were delicious! My favorite beer was the fall flavored one but my boyfriend favored the cider. We sat outside by the creek with friends. Will definitely return! Staff was lovely. read more

Super cool brewery that also serves delicious food. They have a large indoor tasting room as well as a nice outdoor patio. The beer was very tasty, I had an IPA that was true to the style and very good. I had the rice bowl with mojo pork. Open until 10 or 11pm. read more

I never generally leave review, but I visited this brewery at around 8:30pm on a Saturday evening with a group of 7 people. There were maybe 10 people total in the brewery when we arrived. Within 40 minutes, the one bartender working asked our group to please be quite. We were playing a game with the coasters and having a good time laughing...nothing out of the ordinary for a party of 7 at a brewery on a Saturday night. So, don't go here unless you are looking for a quite atmosphere, they have NO patience for any groups who are the least bit loud or having a good time. Will absolutely never return. read more

Nice brewery just down the street from the biltmore village. They have parking on the property and across the street. There are tables inside and outside. Large selection of beer on tap which was nice for a Monday. Beer is good and of course lots of swag. Staff were very friendly and the food was better than expected. Definitely recommend read more

I don't think I have ever regretted spending my money on food more instantly. Every item we ordered was several dollars more expensive than the menu we had been given. 20 dollars for 10 wings, 12 dollars for seven chicken nuggets for a kids meal and they charge extra for Bar B Que sauce for example. Then there are the flies, not just one or two but at any instance there were over a dozen flies dive bombing our food and drink. Bottom line, there are so many places in Asheville that offer better food for cheaper and without the risk of insect borne disease. There are so many better places to spend money on food Then the flies- the flies were everywhere. Mm read more

Old Fort got hit hard but these guys are back in business. If you're are headed to Asheville or Any of the area that is Western NC stop in to Old Fort and enjoy a beer and sit along the water. Ride out to the geyser and view the train tracks and other destruction from the water. Old Fort is where my parents are both from glad to see it bounce back!!!! read more

Was recommended by a staff member at Biltmore. Did not disappoint. Ordered a flight and Cuban sandwich. Excellent beer. Fantastic sandwich. Sat outside. Peaceful next to the water. Even got to pet a dog! Win win. Everything I was hoping for. read more

Hillmans is OPEN! They were affected by the hurricane and thought they may not open back up. Apparently 2.5 months later up and running. The atmosphere is relaxed and they have good food.

Still one of my favorite Asheville breweries. To sit at a picnic table by the creek with a full glass and a full plate is to know peace and serenity. I drank the ESB and Hefeweizen today.

Come for the beer, stay for the incredible food and heartwarming service! We checked out a LOT of breweries in Asheville this past weekend and Hillman is a front-runner for the favorite spot. They offer plenty of on-site parking and there is more space available just across the street. It is one of the few breweries in Asheville that you won't have to pay for close parking! There is plenty of outdoor picnic bench seating and the large garage doors on the brewery were wide open from front to back making the whole place inviting to 2-legged and 4-legged visitors. It sits right on the creek and that offers some nice, relaxing views while you enjoy a brew! We opted to order food before drinks and I had a tough time deciding. We chose the House Salad bowl with tempeh and Rice Bowl with falafel. Both were HUGE portions, with fresh and super flavorful ingredients. There was staff constantly delivering food to tables and everything looked amazing - especially the burgers. Their beer options also had me salivating. They have something for every taste, including wine. I selected a flight and wasn't disappointed. We were most impressed that the staff was constantly interacting with patrons and asking how they could be of service. Southern hospitality at its finest. We will surely return! read more
