Sanctuary Brewing Company is a nano brewery and tap room committed to enriching the lives of humans through our excellent craft beer while benefiting animals through local advocacy. We occasionally offer live music and special events. We started this business as an extension of ourselves; beer enthusiasts and animal lovers with a strong sense of community and environmental responsibility.
Sanctuary Brewing Company is more than a purveyor of great-tasting craft beer. We also serve as an active community resource that helps feed the local economy and Hendersonville community as a whole by sourcing from local, organic products whenever possible.Sanctuary Brewing Company is dedicated to making small batch, high quality artisanal ales. We focus on full flavored beers such as west coast IPAs, full bodied stouts and light, bright easy drinkers. Our brew pub offers light food from local purveyors that will always be animal product free.
We have a tap room with a minimum of 10 rotating taps. We offer a few flag ship brews, including a bold, dry, west coast style IPA, a coffee stout, and a Berliner weisse. Other taps are dedicated to seasonally inspired flavors and at times incorporate produce from local farms. This refers to not only traditional beer ingredients such as hops, barley, wheat, and rye, but fruits, vegetables, spices and additional grains as well.
Approximately 2 of our taps are dedicated to other local breweries such as Southern Appalachian, including one for a local cider maker.
In the last decade Barley’s Taproom has become one of the Southeast’s most popular taprooms with recognition as “Best Taproom in the South” in Southern Draught Beer News and picked as “Top Tap in the South” by Celebrator Beer Magazine.
