The brewery opened in July 2015 next door to Basil\u2019s restaurant, operating in 1,200 square feet with three 10bbl fermentation tanks. We started mobile canning in March 2017 and were operating at maximum capacity. Booneshine needed more space to continue growing. Booneshine acquired the East Boone property in late 2017. We immediately saw the potential for both brewing operations and the tasting room and restaurant. By mid-2018, brewing operations moved to East Boone along with more than double the fermentation capacity. The tasting room and restaurant opened in July, 2019. In March 2020 we purchased a food truck, built seating, and the High Country\u2019s largest outdoor beer garden was born. Today the beer garden is host to trivia nights, music, private parties and has become a place to meet with old and new friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hickoryhops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/brookrisebrew-300x300.jpg\" width=\"135\" height=\"142\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1009 aligncenter size-medium\" style=\"float: left;\" \/>Brookrise Brewing<br \/><span class=\"LrzXr\">115 W 1st St<br \/>Newton, NC 28658<br \/><span><span class=\"LrzXr kno-fv\"><a data-dtype=\"d3ph\" data-local-attribute=\"d3ph\" jscontroller=\"LWZElb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&amp;q=Brookrise#\" jsdata=\"QKGTRc;_;Ceupafa2NJKh5NoPrZfM4A832\" jsaction=\"rcuQ6b:npT2md;F75qrd\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwi235z1z4mTAxWSEFkFHa0LE_wQkAgoAHoECCQQAg\"><span aria-label=\"Call Phone Number (704) 325-0794\">(704) 325-0794<\/span><\/a><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"LrzXr\"><span class=\"LrzXr kno-fv\"><span class=\"_ap3a _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade\" dir=\"auto\">Craft beer brewed in Newton, NC.

Our operations have expanded rapidly every year since opening. We started by doubling our brewing potential from 80-BBL of fermentation capacity to 164-BBL, conducting that all through our 10-BBL main brewhouse and 1-BBL pilot brewhouse. We added team members to better drive the business forward, aiding on every level of the company, from sanitation and production, packaging and delivery to slinging beer from our tasting room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">In 2020, just a few days before COVID hit, we expanded into a 1700 sq. ft. taproom in a building directly adjacent to the brewery.

The creative juices were flowing, and then a voice broke through the sipping silence, \u201cWe should start a brewery.\u201d \u201cHell yeah\u201d echoed back. Heads nodded. Glasses rose. It was a scene that was happening in garages across the country in 2010 with the sweet smell of steaming malted barley fueling those effervescent dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2017 and those homebrewers made good on that dream, once again in a garage.
