-Co-op ready to grow: From the French Broad Food Co-op:
In recent years the Co-op has been busting at the seams with growth and opportunity. As Asheville’s only community owned and nonprofit grocery, the Co-op serves Asheville in ways that no other grocers can. It is time for the Co-op to grow. Debt free and owners of large parcels of land in downtown, the Co-op recognizes this opportunity may be larger than just a grocery store. We want to hear from the community about what their visions for the South end of downtown are.
“FBFC has been a trusted community institution in Asheville for 40 years. As Asheville continues to develop around us, we need the input of residents. The Co-op is on the verge of transforming the South end of Downtown and this is a vital opportunity to expand and preserve the community of our city” Josh L, Instructor of Sustainable Technologies, AB Tech
A facilitated discussion will take place March 21st, 3-5 pm at 76 Biltmore Avenue in downtown Asheville, adjacent to the Food Co-op. Light snacks, refreshments, and childcare will be provided. Community Members are invited to share their visions, ideals, and concerns. The discussion will be captured on paper by local graphic facilitator, Caryn Hanna.

This will not be the brewery’s trade name, just the LLC legal name…
The name of the new brewery should be “Hotel”.
Already a Justice Brewing in Washington State. Seems like a bad plan for the name… https://twitter.com/justicebrewing
I assumed it was them?
Washington State’s Justice Brewing says (via a funny tweet about the press) it’s not them: “two papers from NC want to write about a brewery we aren’t opening. @EverettHerald Doesn’t care we’re open unless we take out an ad.”
I see a trademark lawsuit on the horizon.
Yep
big difference between sardis and sweeten creek road for the brewery.
