Venue Information

Craft beer in Franklin didn't just come to town - it moved into the former town hall and fire department! Located at 188 W. Main St. in historic downtown Franklin, the municipal buildings have been transformed into a fully functioning production craft brewery, complete with taproom, an outdoor patio, and outdoor event space. Lazy Hiker Brewing Co. opened in May 2015 and was the first of its kind for Franklin. It continues the expansion and success of craft beer in Western North Carolina. Around the region you'll find plenty more craft breweries to explore; the Asheville Ale Trail will take you from Franklin to the heart of Asheville and back again.
