Stay In The Loop

Join us for a delightful adults-only specialty train excursion, known as the Smoky Mountain Beer Run! This unique journey offers great music, delicious beer, tasty food, and unforgettable memories. Departing from our historic Bryson City Depot, the Beer Run spans approximately 3.5 hours round trip, including an hour-long layover at a local craft brewery on our rail line. Throughout the trip, guests will enjoy two samples of local craft beer on board, with a final sample awaiting them upon arrival at the layover – served directly by the brewery staff and brewmasters. It's a perfect blend of scenic beauty and craft brews!

Warm, soft pretzel sticks with homemade beer cheese are served as a starter. The main course is a fresh smash burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and local bacon jam served with pickle spear and gourmet kettle chips, and dessert is a salted caramel turtle cheesecake.

The diesel locomotive excursion occurs on March 16, May 5, and June 15 while the steam locomotive excursions occur on July 4 and August 31.
