Morganton’s greenway is a wonderful stretch of paved walking/biking trail that runs along the river for several miles. It passes through shady and sunny areas, with gently curves and slight rises that make for an interesting stroll. There are several different places to park and gain access to the trail, most of which are also near playgrounds or shopping areas, and all of them are free. It was one of the many amenities that drew us to the community, and it is well used by all ages - safe and fun!

What a gem of a place! Must see and visit!! Amazing choices and flavors of the beers! We ended up purchasing several six packs to take home plus a sparkling water! Staff is so friendly and helpful. Great to have a tasting flight and snack we could eat, too! Highly recommend!! Open until 10pm!! Right across from Fairfield Marriott!!

I've enjoyed Catawba beers at other places so it was nice to make a first visit to the brewery and taproom. There are places to sit inside and outside and the bartender was friendly and efficient. They offer a wide variety of beers and all of the ones I sampled I enjoyed. If you like IPA style beers, the CLT and the Hopness Monster are great options (buy a six pack of the Hopness Monster to take home - the artwork on the can is great). This is a laid back place where you can relax and enjoy some great beer. They don't serve food so bring something with you if you want to eat. I'm looking forward to my next visit...

The short answer is YES! BMBW is a small but lively venue in Morganton, offering a wide selection of craft beers, some ciders, and wine for the non-beer enthusiasts. Their weekly “tap takeover” on Thursday nights is always fun, and you have a chance to sample craft beers from all over the nation, along with the company rep and lots of “swag” available as you try new beers and listen to live music. They have sofas, tables for 2 or 4, and a stand-up only bar in addition to the bar seating, which is often full. Board games and books are available on shelves near the sofas, and they don’t mind of you bring your kids and even a dog (leashed), plus your own food to snack on while you drink beer, play games, or just visit. A cooler with water and some sodas is also available, and some good cheeses and crackers to purchase. As a senior citizen, my only caveat is to bring a small flashlight or use your phone flashlight app so you can see to read the labels of the many beers on the shelves! The lighting is dim. Also, once the music starts, quiet conversation is difficult because of the acoustics of a pressed tin ceiling and the buzz of lots of chatting goin on. It is a fun place!
