Nice brewery tour with great people. You can sample a variety of ales and they have some snacks at times. The ales are great, but the owners are better. Sample all the beers and play some cards and talk to the master brewer.

We stopped by this small brewery on a weekend away in Bryson City, NC. It has a lot of character and the beer is good. The brewmaster came out and visited with us for a while and told us alot about the beers in the area. It is a relaxed atmosphere that was perfect for us to spend a little... More

This place is nothing fancy...almost like hanging out in a friend's basement. And that's why I liked it! Concentration is on the beer and that's fine with me. They had some pretzels and dip for snacking, and we played a round of chess. Great stop for beer lovers in Sylva.

We made it a point to try most of the breweries near our vacation rental in Tn. We almost gave up on this one after the mountain pass was closed for snow and we had to back track for an hour! Boy! let me tell you the hour was worth it!!! We met the owner,Dieter, and he could not have... More

Stopped by (park in church lot across street) for some samples and left with a big bottle of birch beer and Oktoberfest brew. I don't enjoy lager type beers but the ones we tested weren't too stout. Owner is pleasant. Had a nice visit.

Heinzelmannchen is located on the back street of Sylva below all of the main street shops. It is a small home grown brewery run by folks who seem to really love what they do. We live in Atlanta and stop by about 6 times a year to fill our growler. They have 4-5 regular taps and 2-3 rotating. The Octoberfest... More

We went to this brewery because I wanted to taste the Root Beer, which I did. It was very good. Vincent gave us a tour and showed us their process of brewing beer. He spent quite a bit of time with us and was very nice and pleasant. We are glad that we went there.

...but well worth finding. Dieter and his wife are great people and love nothing more than to tell you about the beer, the town and where to go to get great food as well as their beer. Made the mistake of going there on the Saturday WCU football was in town so we had to wait for our growler, but... More

Dieter had no problem in showing how the brew process works and found time, even though he was busy, to do that. Excellent low carbonation beer, which reflects his origins in Germany. The Rocktoberfest on tap was superb, a Marzen style, but brewed as an ale rather than a Lager. It is such a small brewery that it is not... More
