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🍻

Happy Earth Day🌎🌿🐠

One of the best ways to celebrate earth day is to crack open a cold one and enjoy some nature… then of course head over to the taproom for another cold one and @saylorbrothers Jam Grass Jam (starting now)✨

Here at French Broad River Brewery, we are committed to conservation and supporting our local ecosystem, especially with our French Broad River, which is one of the oldest rivers in the world, and runs through the heart of Asheville. It is not just a natural wonder but also a vital resource for the community, with rich history and ecological importance that make it a symbol of life and sustainability in our region.

The river is more than just inspo for our brewery name, and all of our beer mascots, the “critters” as we like to call them - who you see on all of our packaging, cans, and merch! It’s a crucial part of our identity. We recognize the need to preserve the river’s vitality and have always been committed to doing our part through sustainable brewing practices, community engagement, eco-friendly packaging, and partnerships with local conservation groups.

We encourage all of our guests and friends to do the same! If you’re interested in helping, please take a moment to check out and follow some of our River partners, @river.link @fbriverkeeper. These organizations have allowed us to support efforts by reducing pollution, restoring natural habitats, and promoting sustainable water management practices. They do wonderful things for the community and deserve lots of recognition this Earth Day🌍

Cheers to the river, the land, the critters, and all that make our planet so amazing🍻
