Monday, May 2. That’s the day that the taproom in New Belgium’s Asheville brewery is scheduled to open. If you’re a beer fan within driving distance of Asheville, it’s been a long time coming. Fortunately, we got a sneak peek at the new taproom before it opens on Monday, and we’re happy to report, it was worth the wait. The bar is a beautiful blend of reclaimed wood, metal and glass. A long deck overhangs the French Broad River. A grassy lawn separates the bar from the production brewery. Food trucks will rally in the parking lot each day… I could go on and on, but you’re probably better off just checking out the photos.
