Creekside Dining: The Complete Guide to Hillman Beer’s Locally-Sourced Food Menu

Where Craft Beer Meets Comfort Food

At Hillman Beer, we believe great beer deserves equally great food. Our family-owned brewery doesn’t just pour exceptional craft beers—we’ve created a complete dining experience centered around locally-sourced ingredients and scratch-made comfort foods. Whether you’re visiting our creekside spot in Asheville or our spacious Old Fort location, our kitchens serve up pub fare that perfectly complements our handcrafted brews. Pull up a chair at our family table where quality, comfort, and community come together on every plate.

Our Food Philosophy: Honest Ingredients, Thoughtful Preparation

Just like our approach to brewing, our food menu focuses on quality over flash. We skip the pretension and instead focus on creating dishes we love to eat alongside our beer. Each recipe is crafted with the same care that goes into our award-winning brews—simple, honest, and made from scratch.

We partner with local farmers and producers to source fresh ingredients whenever possible. This isn’t just about supporting our North Carolina neighbors (though we love doing that)—locally-sourced ingredients simply taste better. From grass-fed beef for our patty melts to fresh vegetables in our wraps, we believe you can taste the difference quality makes.

Our kitchen teams bring the same hands-on approach we apply to brewing. Family members are actively involved in menu development, and you might even be served by one of the Hillman family members who created the food you’re enjoying. This personal touch is what makes dining at Hillman Beer feel less like visiting a restaurant and more like joining friends for a homemade meal.

Menu Highlights: What to Order at Hillman Beer

Signature Sandwiches & Wraps

Our grass-fed beef patty melt has earned a loyal following among regulars. The juicy, flavorful beef pairs wonderfully with our ESB or IPA. For something lighter but equally satisfying, try our buffalo chicken wrap with its perfect balance of spice and coolness that matches beautifully with our lagers.

Vegetarians rave about our house-made falafel wrap. We’ve perfected the spice blend to create falafel that’s crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. This Mediterranean-inspired dish finds its ideal companion in our Kölsch or wheat beers, which complement the earthy chickpeas without overwhelming the subtle herbs.

Shareable Starters

Gathering with friends? Our shareable starters are perfect for groups. Our kitchen takes classic pub fare and elevates it with quality ingredients and careful preparation. These smaller bites are ideal for casual sampling while you work your way through a flight of our craft beers.

Seasonal Specials

Just like our rotating tap list features seasonal brews, our kitchen creates special dishes that highlight the best of what’s available locally. These limited-time offerings give our chefs room to experiment while showcasing the bounty of western North Carolina’s farms. Ask your server about current specials when you visit.

Perfect Pairings: Matching Our Food with Our Beer

Light & Refreshing Combinations

Our lighter fare—salads, wraps, and vegetable-forward dishes—find their match in our crisp, refreshing beers. Try these combinations for a balanced experience:

The house salad with seasonal vegetables pairs beautifully with our Kölsch, creating a refreshing meal that won’t weigh you down. For something with a bit more substance, our falafel wrap matched with our wheat beer brings together complementary earthy flavors with a clean finish.

Hearty & Satisfying Duos

When you’re craving something substantial, our heartier dishes find their perfect match in our more robust beers:

The grass-fed beef patty melt alongside our award-winning ESB creates a classic pairing that showcases how beer and food can elevate each other. For cold days, nothing beats our comfort food specials paired with our darker, maltier offerings like our porter or stout.
