Bearwaters Brewing Company: Riverside

If you are near the area this is the place to go for craft brews. They have a large inviting outdoor terrace and an indoor tap with several levels with many seating right on the river. You have food options for those who need something to eat and there are brews quite decent. It was super child and dog friendly and the staff was all attentive and friendly.

Great brewery right in front of Asheville. The beers were fantastic and the food was quickly and delicious. The staff was not helpful as they explained every beer and gave us samples to go with him. We could say they enjoyed talking about it. It sits right on the river and the atmosphere is fantastic. If you are in the area, this place must stop high on the list of places. It's worth it!

We stopped here after we pulled the pigeon down, and the Vibes were good. I took a Thai chicken dish (total recommend it) and it was really good. Definitely one has to stop when you're in the area.

The best beer I tasted. I went to several different breweries and found myself back to this brewery. Because I'm out of town, it'll be a reason I'll come back. Hospitality, food and service is great! Definitely recommend!

I loved the place, but… I tried their sparkling water and that was duly fun and original. You buy a glass for $1 and you can drink as much sparkling water as you want. That’s probably not why you go to a brewery, but for beer! I tried the Papertown Pilsner and matched my expectation. We also got a bretzel, which comes with mustard (I suspect Lusty Monk) and cheese. It’s big and tasty, don’t order one for each member of the party. Only annoying thing, we had to wait a long time and it was not crowded. It did not ruin the experience, but it was not bothersome. I still highly recommend it, might be the best attraction in Continental (outside of its two Advance Auto Parts 100ft apart).
