Thirsty visitors will find The Lazy Hiker Brewing Company in the former premises of the Franklin Town Hall and Fire department, where they have been hand-crafting artisan brews since 2015. Endeavoring to create a relaxing space where the community can meet and chill, the premises include an indoor taproom, outdoor patio area, disc golf and an outdoor event space. If you happen to be hiking the famous Appalachian trail, they are just a short hike away, hence the name. Beers on tap include Trail Mate Golden Ale, Slack Pack IPA, Trail Candy and Wesser Evil Porter, to name but a few. An on-site food truck takes care of the hunger.
