Beer Guy: Thirsty Monk to add 12 new taps downtown and new brewing operation at south location

From the Asheville Citizen-TimesTony Kiss aka the Beer Guy, who has details on yet another brewery planning to open in Asheville:

Norm Penn will serve as head brewer, and there will also be monthly guest brewers, he said. That should really make for a wide range of beers and styles.

Brewing equipment will be installed in February; look for the first beers to come in April, he said. The Monk’s Southside location was picked over the downtown pub because it was easier to retrofit the building. But the beers will be served at both Monk pubs.

Even before the new brewery opens, the downtown Monk is getting a dozen new beer taps, all reserved for North Carolina and local selections. The two new downstairs taps will feature Belgian-style beers made in North Carolina, Bialik said.
