It’s finally about that time of year again... 🍻We’re beyond excited to officially share the full lineup of 2026 Outdoor Summer Concert Series!

Being part of Asheville’s live music scene has always been one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. The opportunity to host large-scale outdoor concerts alongside AMH allowed us to expand and bring even more live music to our little mountain town. Now, in 2026, we’re continuing down that path, but this time, with our own in-house production, and we couldn’t be more excited about this new endeavor.

These shows have become a true staple of summers here at the brewery. If you’ve joined us at one, you may have experienced some of the magic for yourselves… the music, the energy, a beer in hand, the sun setting behind the stage. Last year was supposed to be a big one for us, but with our reopening in April, we were only able to host a handful of shows, and while those nights were special, we knew we were just getting started. This year, we’re making up for lost time and taking things to the next level. Our own production, a full lineup of incredible artists, our pizza shop back up and running, and more! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable season✨

If you don’t know who we are, we’re a small local brewery that likes to throw a big party! When we’re not hosting outdoor shows, our taproom is a gathering place for beer, pizza, and local music lovers, with special events seven days/week. Our community is everything to us and is what makes this place feel like home. Come by any day of the week for a taste of Asheville’s music, art, beer, and food.

We hope to see many of our friends and visitors at this year’s shows. We’ve dropped show dates here and there but we’re excited to finally share the full lineup with this post! Grab your tickets now. This summer is going to be one for the books🍻 taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @frenchbroadriverbrewery

A week and a half later and we finally got through editing and choosing the best moments from our Anniversary/Grand Reopening Party📸✨

We’d like to take a minute to say a big thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, and to our community members who couldn’t be there but continuously support us💚

If you heard Paul’s speech, you know that these past 25 years have been made so special by our staff, weekly events, partners, performers, family, friends, and loyal customers. We faced tragedy as a community this year, and rebuilding was no easy task. What made our return possible was the help of each person who worked on the building, our team’s determination, and the unwavering encouragement from the people who believe in what we’ve created together over 25 years at this little old brewery. The party celebrated not only French Broad River Brewery, but all of you.

This celebration weekend meant more to us than words can express. Please just know how grateful we are to be surrounded, loved, and supported by each and every one of you🍻

P.S.
✨ We raised over $800 for @river.link!🎉
✨ Thank you to everyone who signed the guest book & took a Polaroid photo! We gave it as a gift to Paul💛
✨ Thanks to everyone who joined us and @chalwaroots on Sunday as well!
✨ Thanks to everyone who supported our craft vendors and food trucks.

✨ Leave a 🍻 comment if you think @jerrysdeadofficial & @saylorbrothers should go back to back again!

Cheers to another 25 years!!! by @frenchbroadriverbrewery

A bit late to share a year’s end recap, but it took a few days to gather all of these memories 💚

From highs to lows, 2024 turned out to be wilder than we could’ve imagined. We have faced great heartache as a region, and these past few months have been an incredible challenge — that is not to be forgotten. But this year has also brought much joy, growth, resilience, dancing, drinking, new experiences, and unforgettable moments. We’ve made memories, formed new connections, taken significant strides for the brewery, and we’ve also witnessed the strength and beauty of our community. These highs should not only not be forgotten, but they should also be celebrated.

We’d like to say thank you to our community, partners, friends, and family — who not only offered support during a time of need, but were also there to experience the joys of 2024 with us. We’re excited to welcome 2025 and we hope that everyone is filled with hope and optimism for the new year. Things can and will only get better, from here on out 💚 by @frenchbroadriverbrewery
