Good day to you, drinkers! Just wanted to take a sec here to render in HTML a shout-out to a rather lengthy and whimsical piece published recently on the Mountain X’s Web site. If you’re reading this, that probably means you have some interest in Asheville beer culture, and if you do, you’d likely be entertained and edified by this. Click the link, grab something cold, frothy and local, sit back, read. You might like it!
Meanwhile, this is a picture of Nathan Griffin, who will destroy you here at the Brewery on Saturday night.

We at the French Broad Brewery would like to extend our warmest appreciation to all who participated in South Thirsty Monks’ recent Pint Night blind-taste test of local IPAs. We already knew (speculated) that nine out of ten doctors recommend it and that four out of five housewives drink it, now we can say too that some majority of select Asheville beer scenesters unknowingly preferred our hoppy little darling on at least one cool December evening. Coupled with our recent success at Brewgrass (at which we garnered the overall “People’s Choice” award), we’re feeling a bit, well, doted on, Asheville. A bit toasty and loved and sort of kissed all over. Like: Oh you shouldn’t have! And yet you did! Nostrovya!
Post Script:
Cases of delicious Zepptemberfest can be had at the Brewery for 30 freakin’ dollars. That comes to:
2 and a half freakin’ dollars per bomber, or
11 freakin’ cents per ounce.

About one in six Western North Carolinians receives some kind of assistance from Manna Food Bank each year. This week (10-15 October), we’ll be donating a portion of tasting room sales to Manna. Just think: That beer in your hand could be helping a local family put groceries in the cupboard!

We’re ever-so-happy to be donating a portion of tasting room proceeds for the week of Monday 3 October to that Titan of tutelage, that powerhouse of pedagogy, that paragon of perception, the Asheville City Schools Foundation. The Foundation enriches instructional budgets and provides scholarship funds, putting college within the reach of a whole lot of Asheville kids who are, really and truly, the future. Pints on premise, growlers to go, and other alliterative expressions involving malt beverages will cause the check we mail to ACSF on Monday 10 October to mount and mount, so drink! For the children!
