Lazy Hiker Brewing in Sylva, NC is the perfect spot for a post hike craft beer. I headed here with my dog after a long morning of intense hiking and was very pleased with a wide variety of crafted beers ranging from IPAs to stouts to sours.

The atmosphere at Lazy Hiker is warm and inviting, the service is good, and they have a great outdoor patio. The menu features delicious pizzas, wings, and more. I got a rice bowl and it seriously hit the spot. You can tell this place is well loved by everyone in the area. PS dogs are welcome both inside and outside as long as they're well behaved.
