Customized Brewery Retreats for Corporate Teams

Craft a Different Kind of Team Experience

Looking for something beyond the standard corporate retreat? At Hillman Beer, we’ve created brewery experiences that bring teams together over exceptional craft beer and genuine connection. Our family-owned breweries in Asheville and Old Fort offer private spaces where your team can relax, bond, and celebrate achievements away from the office environment. Whether you’re planning a team-building day, client appreciation event, or company celebration, our brewery retreats combine the casual comfort of a neighborhood pub with personalized service that makes your group feel like part of our family. In addition to our unique atmosphere, we offer a variety of activities that can be tailored to your group’s interests, including guided tastings and brewing workshops. Be sure to ask about the old fort craft beer highlights that showcase the rich flavors and brewing techniques of our region. Each experience at Hillman Beer is designed to foster collaboration and creativity, ensuring that your team leaves inspired and connected. In addition to our inviting indoor spaces, we also offer the Hillman Beer outdoor experience, perfect for enjoying the scenic beauty of the region while sipping on our finest brews. Picture your team bonding over lawn games, savoring tasty food pairings, and indulging in unforgettable beer tastings under the sun. This unique setting fosters camaraderie and creativity, making it an ideal backdrop for your next corporate gathering.

What Makes Our Corporate Brewery Experiences Unique

Unlike cookie-cutter corporate venues, Hillman Beer brings warmth and authenticity to your team gathering. Our spaces foster natural conversation with community-style seating and a welcoming atmosphere that puts everyone at ease. Teams particularly appreciate how our brewery setting breaks down barriers and encourages the kind of honest communication that rarely happens in conference rooms. Our brewery not only serves as an ideal backdrop for collaboration but also offers a unique experience that caters to all your senses. With a selection of house-made brews and local bites, we create an unforgettable atmosphere that enhances team bonding. For those looking to extend their experience, we recommend nearby strategic b&bs for beer lovers, allowing guests to fully embrace the local craft beer culture.

Our award-winning beers serve as conversation starters, with our brewing team available to guide your group through tastings that reveal the craft behind each pour. Many team leaders tell us these shared tasting experiences create common ground between colleagues who rarely interact at the office.

Both our Asheville creek-side location and more spacious Old Fort brewery can be tailored to your team’s needs, whether that means a casual gathering or a structured event with private tours, guided tastings, and custom food pairings.

Customizable Corporate Brewery Packages

Private Brewery Tours

Get your team behind the scenes with a private tour led by our head brewer or one of our knowledgeable team members. These interactive sessions show your group the brewing process from grain to glass, with special attention to our medal-winning techniques. Teams learn about our balanced approach that honors traditional brewing while embracing creative exploration. Many groups tell us these tours spark conversations that continue long after the event ends.

Guided Beer Tastings

Let your team discover new favorites with customized tastings featuring our core beers like our GABF Gold medal-winning ESB, refreshing Kölsch, tropical Hazy Half Back IPA, and complex Four Fat Baby stout. We’ll adapt the experience to your group’s beer knowledge, making it accessible for beginners while offering depth for enthusiasts. We focus on proper serving conditions and presentation, giving your team the complete flavor experience of each beer.

Private Event Spaces

Both our locations offer distinct settings for your team gathering. In Asheville, groups love our creek-side seating area for casual team bonding. Our Old Fort location provides more room for larger corporate retreats with its industrial-yet-welcoming atmosphere. We’ll help you select the space that best matches your team’s personality and event goals.

Custom Food Menus

Our scratch kitchens create honest, pub-style comfort food using locally-sourced ingredients. For corporate events, we can develop custom menus ranging from shareable platters to seated meals. Popular options include our grass-fed beef patty melts, buffalo chicken wraps, house-made falafel wraps, and seasonal specials. Our food philosophy mirrors our brewing approach: quality ingredients prepared with care to complement the beer experience.

The Hillman Difference for Corporate Groups

What sets our brewery retreats apart is the personal touch. As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of genuine connection. The Hillman family remains actively involved in both breweries, creating an authentic experience where your team feels truly welcome. Our staff gets to know your group, adapting the experience to match your team’s dynamic and goals.

We’ve hosted everything from startup celebrations to Fortune 500 team-building events, each time creating a custom experience that reflects the company’s culture while introducing them to our Hillman family atmosphere.
