Our personal fav...Fonta Flora is fast becoming a sought after brewing company. With two locations at 6751 NC-126, Nebo NC 28761 Phone#828-475-7501 and 317 N Green Street, Morganton NC 28655 Phone#828-475-0153 The Nebo address is by far the coolest place to hang out, with amazing views of Shortoff and plenty of outside seating. The Nebo address is also where they do all the brewing and it is only a short ride around Lake James, from the Shack At Shortoff.
