Balsam Falls Brewing Co.

Balsam Falls Brewing Co. stands as Sylva's premier craft brewery, nestled in the heart of downtown at 506 W. Main St. This beloved establishment was founded in October 2017 by husband and wife team Corey and Laurie Bryson, who transformed their passion for craft beer and community into a thriving gathering spot that has become the heartbeat of Sylva. The brewery has earned a stellar reputation for pushing creative boundaries with an ever-changing rotation of unique beers that can't be found anywhere else in Western North Carolina. Their tap list features inventive creations like the Mango Habanero Salt Rock Wit, a vibrant wheat beer with a spicy kick, the refreshing Covid with Lime Mexican Lager, the tangy Eww that Smell Gose, and seasonal offerings like Urmensch Oktoberfest. For cider lovers, the Pina Colada cider and Have You Seen My Lemons Hard Lemonade Seltzer provide delightful alternatives. The spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas accommodate families, groups of friends, and solo drinkers alike, while the friendly staff ensures every visitor feels like part of the Balsam Falls family. Open Monday through Friday from noon to 10 PM and weekends from 10 AM to 10 PM, this brewery has become a must-visit destination for both locals exploring the Appalachian region and tourists discovering the charm of Sylva's thriving craft beverage scene.
