Sierra Nevada Brewery - Mills River, North Carolina

This 110 million dollar project was started less than three years ago. Twenty-six acres of woods were cleared, the wood collected and prepared for use in the construction. One can only appreciate the incredible achievement this facility is without visiting it.

Today, March 12, 2015, we took a 90 minute tour which left us with our eyes popping in amazement with every step. http://www.sierranevada.com/brewery/about-us/our-story
