The Beer Guy can’t wait for Asheville’s newest brewery, Craggie Brewing, to open. Here’s some of what he says:

For those who are keeping count, Craggie is the seventh brewing company (and eighth brewery) in Buncombe County. The others are Highland, French Broad, Pisgah, Green Man, Asheville Pizza and Brewing and its sister Asheville Brewing and The Wedge.
The masterminds behind Craggie are Bill Drew and Jonathan Cort, who both previously worked for Highland Brewing and have a true passion for beer. Last weekend, they hosted an invitation-only drop-in party, where they sampled homebrew versions of their hefeweizen, dunkel, Belgian amber ale and golden ale. They were delicious, well-crafted, and were mostly true “sessions” beers, flavorful, but light enough alcohol to enjoy several in a sitting.
