Asheville Floating Bar Crawl: Beer, Nature & River Views
See more
Experience Asheville like never before with our Floating Bar Crawl Tour. Combining the city’s famous craft beer scene with its beautiful natural surroundings, this adventure lets you hop between local bars and breweries—right from a floating raft on the river.
Relax as you drift down the water, stopping three times at popular spots. Enjoy cold beverages from the cooler provided, or bring your own to sip along the way. The tour includes visits to The Wedge Brewery at the Foundation, where you can grab some food from a food truck, and concludes at the renowned New Belgium Brewery.
Keep in mind, this tour involves climbing muddy riverbanks and stairs, so a basic level of physical fitness is recommended. It’s perfect for adults aged 21-80 who enjoy a laid-back vibe and good company. Kids aged 15 and up can join if accompanied by parents, but alcohol consumption is only for adults.
Parking at Hominy Creek River Park is suggested, with options to leave your vehicle overnight. After the tour, you can take a rideshare back to your car. We’ll meet you by the river stairs to start this fun-filled day of river views, craft beers, and good times.
