"Ive had a few things from here that have all been good. Today I came by for their new chicken ceaser sandwich and was not disappointed. Dressing was flavorful and the sourdough was buttered beautifully. There was no civilized way to eat it and i would do it again. The staff is also always super nice!"

NC Pint Day is tomorrow, come on by and grab this awesome limited edition glassware!!
It was designed by Asheville-based artist Sadie Tynch. Wrapping the glass is an original illustration blending North Carolina’s native wildlife, botanical life, music, agriculture, and community; a visual love letter to the landscapes and people that define the state from coast to mountains.
From the NC brewers Guild: North Carolina’s independent craft breweries have long doubled as third spaces and community anchors — the kind of places where a neighborhood fundraiser gets organized, a local band plays their first show, or two strangers end up talking for hours. This glass is a celebration of that!”
Get yours before they're gone!
$10 for the glass and $15 filled with any of our beers.
