Awesome Beers, Just off the AT, in Franklin, North Carolina
Just Off the Trail in the Mountains of N.C.
Lazy Hiker Brewing Company has been crafting great beer and community since 2015. Located in the former town hall and fire department, our brewery in Franklin includes a taproom, an outdoor patio, and an outdoor event space. In 2019 Lazy Hiker expanded and opened a taproom with Mad Batter Kitchen in beautiful downtown Sylva, NC. You can find Lazy Hiker beer in many stores, bottle shops, and restaurants throughout Western North Carolina and North Georgia. We invite hikers and travelers of every sort to come ‘Get Lazy’ with us!
Step outside and you need only look around to see the high mountains of the Southern Appalachians stretching out before you. Some folks around town are thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Some folks are tourists come up from Atlanta. Some are seasonal residents from Florida. For those of us fortunate enough to live here year-round, we take it slow, enjoy the mountains in every season, and enjoy our craft beer.
