Asheville, NC – November 26, 2014 Open Brewing, South Asheville’s newest brewery and brand new concept in the craft beer world, is set to open its doors officially on Wednesday, December 3rd. Conceptualized by Thirsty Monk owner, Barry Bialik, Open Brewing will serve as the first commercial brewpub in the country dedicated to “open-source brewing,” an incubator for homebrewers to “guest brew,” under the mentorship of professional Brewmaster, Norm Penn. For beer lovers, Open Brewing will be a cozy neighborhood taproom focused on the craft of making unique, small batch beers.


Open Brewing will have 10 taps, including a Strong Scotch Ale, brewed by MALT homebrew club co-founder, Dave Keller; a Foreign Extra Stout brewed by Blue Ridge Brew Off Best in Show awardee, John Olson; and, a West IV, a Belgian session ale inspired by the rare Trappist Westvleteren beers, brewed by Mountain Xpress Beer Scout Thom O’Hearn, and local homebrewer Matt Kane. Also on tap, look for a few of Norm’s experimental beers, including his Honeybadger Honey Brown Ale, Must Love Coconuts Coconut IPA, and more. Also, look for one or two guest taps of homebrew inspired beers.


“We’ve had a great reception to this idea so far, from brewers and the South Asheville community, and we’re excited to create a new beer destination on this side of town,” says owner Barry Bialik.


Open Brewing is located at 20 Gala Dr. #101 in Gerber Village, off Hendersonville Rd, the location of the former Thirsty Monk South. Hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 4pm-11pm.


Open Brewing is continuing to accept submissions for the next round guest brew spots, beginning in early 2015. Visit www.obrewing.com for information on how to submit a recipe for consideration.
