Forks of the River Taproom
your perfect post-adventure destination, when you’re here you’re family
THE FORKS OF THE RIVER TAPROOM IS YOUR DESTINATION PLACE FOR LOCAL CRAFT BEER ON TAP AND A VARIETY OF BEER, WINE & CIDER, READY TO TAKE ON YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE.
LOCAL TAPS FROM WITHIN THE FRENCH BROAD WATERSHED
WITH ENDLESS ROTATING BEERS, CIDERS AND WINES!
The Forks of the River, a local name for our location, is a taproom that not only celebrates the birthplace of the French Broad River but also the quality of water we all enjoy. We dedicate 12 taps to our breweries within our watershed that makes beer from these pristine mountain waters. We are here because of the water and so is the beer.

Food Trucks
We work with some amazing locally owned and operated food trucks throughout the year. They are each independent from the Taproom and Headwaters, therefor schedules and line-ups can change daily. We will do our best to post a weekly schedule on our social media accounts. Thank you for understanding and for supporting small local businesses.
These cool mornings have us pretty happy that fall is getting closer. 🍂 We know the Parkway gets all the peak leaf-looking glory, but there’s something about the colorful canopy along the Upper French Broad that hits different.
Plan your fall paddle with us today. 🛶

River update! A lane has been opened on river right through the big blockage on the Upper French Broad near Deerwoode Reserve. Still exercising caution out there — several trees down and some tight passages to navigate between Island Ford and Hap Simpson accesses.
Join us Thursday evening from 6-8pm at our Downtown Brevard location (67 E Main St) to learn about Terrestrial Tactics!
Take your summer fly fishing to the next level with Terrestrial Tactics! This presentation dives into fishing hoppers, ants, beetles, and other land-based bugs. We’ll cover when and where to fish terrestrials, fly selection, presentation techniques, and simple tips to help you get more confident fishing the surface.
Presented by guide Hannah Overgaard
