Smoky Mountain Beer Run (Diesel)
One of our newest Events is the Smoky Mountain Beer Run! A specialty train excursion featuring 2 half-pint samples of local craft beer on-board and a final sample when we stop off at the layover, at Innovation Station in Dillsboro, NC. Every ‘Beer Run’ has a fun theme to help get into the party mood but also makes every run unique and one of a kind. With Craft Beer and a Themed menu to match, you’ll be treated and transported as we cruise through the Smoky Mountains while enjoying a night in ‘Beer Country.’
