The Breweries
ASHEVILLE & WNC AREA BREWERIES
Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company
With brewmaster Doug Riley at the helm, the beer at Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company is great “beer drinker’s beer”. The ever addictive Shiva I.P.A., Houdini ESP, and, this webmaster’s favorite, Red Light I.P.A. tie in perfectly to their wonderful pizza and $3 movies. Often called the “Brew N’ View” by locals, Asheville Pizza is a one of a kind experience that only Asheville could foster. To keep your health in check, Asheville Pizza is now completely non-smoking, and they have a second location in downtown Asheville on Coxe Avenue. So enjoy fresh mountain air and a fresh beer…

Green Man Ales
Provided to the Asheville community by Jack of the Wood - a cozy, Celtic style pub located in Downtown. Handcrafted English style ales are brewed at our nearby brewing facility and served fresh daily. On a typical evening at Jack’s you will find many of the patrons gathered around the black walnut bar or at long tavern tables, engaged in conversation through which the taboo subjects of art, religion and politics are heavily woven. Others play darts or scan the papers while sipping pints of ale or munching on a plate of fish and chips. When the local musicians are fiddling away on Irish reels or picking some olde time mountain music in the corner with the wooden shutters closed against the night, you can blink your eyes and imagine yourself in the Celtic Isles or Colonial America. A wonderful bunch of locals consider Jack their local pub, but are not opposed to sharing. Oh, by the way, we have a very nice selection of single malts…
