Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of West Jefferson—fondly known as \"The Coolest Corner of North Carolina\"—New River Brewing embodies the spirit of the High Country. Since our founding in 2017, this family-owned craft brewery has evolved organically alongside the pristine waters and majestic peaks that inspire our creations. Beginning as a nano production brewery, we\'ve grown through thoughtful expansion— first as a brewpub in 2019, then evolving in 2021 to include both a dedicated brewery/taproom and our restaurant, NRB Ale House, both located in West Jefferson. Our 2024 return to wholesale distribution now brings New River\'s distinctive brews to communities throughout the High Country and Piedmont regions.
