Cycling has always been a huge part of Oskar Blues' culture and a large reason that soul-founder Dale Katechis chose Western North Carolina as the home for a second brewery.
The name REEB Ranch pays homage to REEB Cycles, Oskar Blues hand-made bike company based in ColoRADo. A stable of demo REEB mountain bikes and dirt jump rigs are available for rental at the REEB Ranch.
"It's important to us to keep that trail-side camaraderie in the community," says Katechis. "We've been able to integrate our passions of the brewery, farm, restaurants and REEB Cycles into much of what we do, the Oskar Blues REEB Ranch continues that effort."
The Oskar Blues REEB Ranch offers a ride-in, ride-out experience with direct Dupont State Park single-track access, pump track sessions, dirt jump progression lines and post ride beers alongside the swimming hole. On-site lodging includes a 1940's cabin at the base of two 43-foot waterfalls and an apartment on the top floor of a venue-perfect barn. Tent camping is also available. To reserve accommodations at Oskar Blues REEB Ranch, call The Bike Farm at (828) 577-3673.The Bike Farm offers an all-exclusive bike tour concierge service, including bike rentals and guided rides from the property.
