About
The legendary Green Man has existed for centuries but it’s no myth that he’s been brewing great beer in Asheville since 1997. As one of North Carolina’s original breweries, Green Man has been producing some of the beer scene’s most iconic ales. Our offerings are consistently recognized for quality as well as loyalty to traditional English styles. Additionally, our brewers strive to bring innovative and exciting new flavors to beer loving folks.
Now open! Continuing our evolution we have constructed a 3 story, 20,000 square ft., packaging hall, a “brewtique”, and an indoor/outdoor top floor taproom that overlooks production and the Blue Ridge Mountains! It is right here on the South Slope, next to “Dirty Jack’s” (which is still open) and our production brewery.

Can while grilling up some sausages. Rather dull yellow pour not much carbonation or zip. Nose is grassy and lemon. Tastes of white wine, grass, citrus. Needs a kick of some sort.

Pink and purple tinted light golden coloured body with a thinnish, almost pure white head. Aroma of berries, which, if i'm not mistaken - seem tart. Scents of cranberries, blueberries and definitely a good dose of raspberries (hence the tartness) with some light sweetness noticeable, a ton of wheat and not much else - very nice aroma. Light-bodied; Pungent tart and wheatie flavours with a very dry, but increasingly fruity and tart bite, all from fruit with some softer wheat and yeast finishes, but the fruit dominates and this remains very easy-drinking throughout. Aftertaste shows the tart grasses, dry notes and especially fruit with cranberries and raspberries dominating everything. Overall, a very easy-drinking, wheat focused beer with a dry and tart fruit finish that shows a little sweetness, but this is mainly dry and very nice, crisp and elegant throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$3,32 sampled while watching the fireworks over the capital of our great country in Washington on 04-July-2019.

7th International Pre Brugge Beer Festival Bottle Swap (in De Bierboom); Friday 1st Feb 2019. Fairly large sample from a bottle that was passed to me during the mega tasting. Amber body, off-white crown. Light malty nose with a mild yeastiness. Taste has a decent malt/hop blend with some bitterness to temper the semi-sweet biscuity malt flavours. Not really an ESB to this Brit, but a fine beer all round.

Hazy, I'll give it that. Also sweet. Very sweet. Surprisingly sweet, like a shot of simple syrup has been added to an otherwise decent NEIPA. Earth, lemon zest, passion fruit, a little resin, and a little pine are present--all good--but the sweetness takes me right out. Not sure where the sugar's coming from--didn't see any mention of lactose--but it grows too strong as the pint warms, in dire need of some serious West Coast bitterness to offset the candy base. Seems to score higher than it should, but it's a pretty pint, and the nose is a nice mix of dragonfruit, earth, and chive. Otherwise, not for me.

Peppery lemongrass nose. Hazy yellow, huge head, gusher. Grass, pepper, tea, meyer lemons. Medium body, soft carbonation, somewhat resinous. I didn't like this at first, but it grows on you. The spiciness is pretty neat once you become acclimated to it.
