Quick Details
Asheville is known for beer and nature! We combine the two. This is a fun trip to experience brewery hopping in Asheville, NC by raft. We will casually float down river and stop at some local bars and breweries. Your guide, Cody, will have a cooler with ice and you are welcome to bring your own beverages along.
We will relax and enjoy cold beverages and river views. We will stop at a local bar called Cascade Lounge for drinks and then float further down to The Wedge Brewery. We will have time for a beer at each spot and our final destination is New Belgium Brewery where you can relax and enjoy the view with a brew.
Enjoy a group experience for Bachelor and Bachelorette parties, Birthdays, Corporate Team Building, Reunions, and Weddings with a local brewery hopping cruise!
Bar Crawl Tour is catered to adult drinking age but minors can join with their parents.
We can accomodate 20 people with 2 rafts. We can accomodate larger groups with ample advance notice.
We recommend parking at New Belgium Brewery and taking an Uber or Lyft to the Hominy Creek River Park. That way you can float back to our final destination. Do not enter through the gates at French Broad Outfitters. We will meet you by the stairs to the river.

• If there is light rain in the forecast but none at the start of the tour, we
will continue with the tour as a little rain will be fine and we have rain
ponchos for you.
• We will cancel tours if there are dangerous weather conditions, but we
will still proceed if there is a chance of inclement weather. We provide
all the necessary gear to keep participants comfortable. If you do not
want to paddle in light rain or the cold, we encourage you to purchase
trip insurance. Trip insurance allows you to cancel your reservation for

• Our trips start and end at different places. We do not offer
transportation to and from the two locations. We start the trip at 220
Hominy Creek Rd at Hominy Creek River Park. We are in the small
parking lot outside the gates of French Broad Outfitters. If you have
passed through the gates, you have gone too far. If you experience a
traffic line when you are almost at the meeting spot it means you are in
the right place😊 It’s the county trash transfer station. Our put in is just
after it.
• We end at New Belgium Brewery at Craven St.
• It is a 4 mile walk along the bike path along the river or 10 minute
Uber/Lyft ride. We highly recommend waiting until you are safe to
drive or hail a rideshare. Your vehicle is also safe to leave overnight at
either location. If you have 2 vehicles, then you can set your own
shuttle easily. It’s a 10 minute drive between the 2 spots.
• Please arrive at Hominy Creek 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure
time. The most efficient process is to drive a car to the meeting spot.
Take the raft tour to New Belgium Brewery and retrieve your car when
safe to do so.
