They also have merchandise on sale, and feature plants grown from a local store! For my beer I got Beach, Please! Which tasted like an elevated Modelo - it was salty, sour (lime), and fruity (mango). I loved it! They have a great selection of BBQ and even better, they have a section on the menu called "Just a Taste", where you can order smaller portions to create your own sampler platter. I got the side of smoked turkey ($5) which was pretty good The 3 bones ($9) pineapple habanero flavored; they were generous and gave me more than 3 bones, and the sauce was actually kind of spicy but it was still flavorful and savory! And Jalapeño Cheese grits which were deeeeelicious! It was the perfect consistency and wasn't overly cheesy. The jalapeño pieces were diced so you were able to get some crunch in each bite. You order at the counter and they hand you a number. You're free to sit anywhere and they will bring your food out to you. They also bus the table for you, so you can get up and go whenever you're ready. They also have a patio that's dog friendly, and a restaurant side. I went right at 11 on a Wednesday and by 1pm they were full on both sides!

The man serving is amazing, and I absolutely adore him. The man who owns the place is equally adorable, and I adore him, too! You will NOT find two better place to give your time and money to locally, and I swear by that. Always a dynamic food truck on premises. Always a great supply of my FAVORITE wine, beer, and cider. And always receptive of our toddler (our Irish Setter). Go. RUN THERE!!! Trust me, just go. You won't be sorry. These people and this place is among the best in Asheville. Never mind Sierra Nevada or any of the other over popularized breweries. They're over priced and over filled. Go here. You can thank me later. And you WILL.

Their beer and wine menu rotates and is curated with the classics and wonderful new options you've maybe have never even heard of. Food trucks here on most evenings with good variety. The owners are incredible, warm and inviting, and the other staff are really engaging and knowledgable about the selections. You can walk in with a slight idea of what you like in a wine and they'll help you find one that's just right for you. Free wine tastings every third Thursday is the month and other fun events and themes from time to time. I'd say this is a great spot to do some work (intentionally placed outlets for laptops!!!), relax and read a book, catch up with friends, celebrate an occasion, or just kill time while figuring out what to do with the rest of your day (as we're doing now).

The menu has a lot of variety for all kinds of preferences and diets. There are tvs, a juke box, and even games.
