I haven’t had time to look into this, so I’ll just throw it out there, and maybe you can tell me: is there another micro-brewery in the works for Asheville?

I ask because I noticed recently that a new company has been incorporated in Buncombe County. It’s listed as TanBarkRidge Brewery LLC and was registered by John Parks of Bull Creek Road.

Tanbark Ridge is a scenic little ridge running off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and there’s a Tanbark Ridge Tunnel on the parkway.

When last I wrote about the micro-brewery scene, the news was that Craggie Brewing had been announced as Buncombe County’s seventh brewing company. It’s planning to open up later this year in downtown. The others: Highland, French Broad, Pisgah, Green Man, Asheville Pizza and Brewing and its sister Asheville Brewing and The Wedge.

So — anybody know anything about Tanbark Ridge Brewery LLC?
