Asheville’s third brewery opened as a mash-up pizza joint, second-run movie theater, and brewpub, all wrapped up in a bright, happy, family-friendly space on Merrimon Avenue in North Asheville. A second brewpub, in downtown Asheville’s hip South Slope area, opened in 2006. That location now houses both their 15-barrel and 7-barrel brew houses. A third location, a pizza and beer delivery and pick-up kitchen, opened in South Asheville in 2012. Their mission is great food, quality craft beer, excellent service and fun for all ages (kids, kids-at-heart, and canines).
