New River Brewing was conceived in 2016 and founded in 2017 by father and son home brewers, Greg and Adam Hershner. We began quite small but with a big goal, to disrupt the local market by creating fresh, innovative craft beers in Ashe County North Carolina.
Growth was a challenge, as an unknown brewery trying to wrestle away tap space from larger established breweries. We appreciate the restaurants and bars that took a chance on us and helped to fuel our growth. Remarkably, as a neophyte commercial brewer, Adam won a North Carolina Brewer’s Cup Medal in 2018 and this proved to be a significant turning point. We opened our Taproom & Eatery in 2019 in West Jefferson and moved our brewery & tasting room in May 2021. We are committed to bringing the best craft beers and pub food to our New River Brewery Community. Join us! Thank you for your support!
