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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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. Usually our first stop when we come to Asheville but this time, on our way home when we heard they we open. Good beer and good food. read more

Great food. Terrible bar service. Had to stand up and wave to get the bartenders (3) attention. Won't be back.

Hillman was a highlight of our time in Asheville! The Hill and Oats I had was tasty, but the food was almost more impressive! It's not common to find a brewery that can nail beer AND food, but they certainly did! We ordered the Buffalo and Falafel wraps and they were delicious!! Service was very kind! And atmosphere was chill! Great space for dogs too! read more

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. The fried chicken sandwich is sublime. My wife enjoyed the falafel wrap. Time passed slowly and I left younger than when I arrived. read more

Food is good but too expensive for the amount you get. 2 Adult hamburger entrees, 2 kids meals, 1 salad run just under $100. No drinks included. Go on a specials night if your a local or go whenever... if your rich. read more

When I'm looking for dining in an unfamiliar town, I "Yelp and Pray", and generally choose a place with high ratings and numerous reviews. Most times this works well, however occasionally Yelp prayers go unanswered. Was looking for a good burger and chose Hillman on the strength of many "best burger" testimonials. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Liked the brewpub ambience. Unfortunately the food didn't live up to the hype. Both of us ordered different burgers along with the house chips. The chips were hit or miss with many of them small and stale. My BBQ burger had a token amount of the BBQ sauce that turned out to be tasteless. The patties themselves were thin and square; quite reminiscent of a Bubba Burger and not much better. If this is the best burger in town, then Asheville is a hurtin' pup. Fortunately for every mid, mid, mid Hillman there is also a Vinnie's, which Yelp guided me to last night. read more

I've been here a bunch and generally enjoyed both the drinks and the food, but I felt I needed to warn against the burger. It was a thin grey patty with way too much bun, smothered in ketchup and gross yellow mustard. And to my surprise when I cashed out, the fries were $5 extra, so that's a $19 plate of disappointment. Stick to the falafel and kale salad, imo. read more
