Description
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.

Short pour during a pit stop in the rain with family. Clear, dark, reddish grape-y amber, frothy pour. Sharply tart, dry blueberry, jammy grape nose. Dry, aromatic dessert apple & nondescript but juicy berry. Leafy, off-dry, tart apple essence, cheap champagne yeast, bit of sulfite dryness, low carb finish. Didn't like the texture. Expected more. Sessionably okay with a dry lager in the other hand.

Generous half pint pour during a pit stop with mom & the wife. Very dark ruby brown yet clear, extra frothy pour. Dusty, extra roasty & charred, low hop nose. Charry bittersweetness. Earthy, dry cola, soot, minerally, super carbonated & served pretty damn cold. Bit too dark, but drank well.

Good, if on the sweet side for a single IPA. Very hazy, with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit, and banana, backed up by pine, berry, and a touch of mineral bitterness on the finish. Decent pint.
