Asheville Brewing Company Celebrates National Comedy Month
In honor of National Comedy Month (April), Asheville Brewing is showing a series of classic comedies combined with special, small batch beer releases to provide the perfect drinking accompaniment for each movie.
In conjunction with the special showing of the cult classic, Napoleon Dynamite, AB will release a special beer, Tater Tart Saison. The movie will take place at our Merrimon Avenue movie theater on Thursday, April 27, at 7 PM. The beer will be released on draft the same day at 5 PM at the downtown and north locations.
Tater Tart Saison is brewed with a Belgian yeast blend and a gentle malt
bill of Pilsner, Vienna, and flaked wheat. It’s hopped with Centennial,
Lemondrop, and Citra and then dry-hopped with Nelson Suavin giving it a
complex yet delicate aroma.
“This beer has a nice balance between tart, a touch of belgian character and delicious hoppiness,” says Asheville Brewing head brewer Pete Langheinrich. “There’s just enough pucker. ABV: 5.4; IBUs: 23; SRM: 3. Pairs well with tots, quesadillas, and llamas.
When you have a combination movie theater and brewery, celebrating National Humor Month, which takes place in April, with classic and cult comedy movies paired with fresh interesting beers is a natural opportunity for fun.

Asheville Amadeus Continues through the Weekend
March 10 - 19, 2017 - Asheville Amadeus Festival 2017. This annual celebration hosted by The Asheville Symphony Orchestra is performed at a variety of Asheville venues over ten days. Featured events include:
March 15 - 16, 8 PM at Diana Wortham Theatre: The Other Mozart. You’ve heard of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but what about Nannerl Mozart? This is your chance to hear the true and untold story of Maria Anna Mozart, nicknamed Nannerl, the sister of Amadeus. She was a prodigy, keyboard virtuoso, and composer in her own right. Sylvia Milo, the production’s creator and performer, brings Nannerl to life in a fascinating and irresistably intelligent performance featuring a stunning 18-foot gown.
March 15 - April 2 at NC Stage Company: Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins. Florence Foster Jenkins, an eccentric socialite, lives under the delusion that she is an enchanting coloratura soprano when she is actually incapable of holding pitch. After teaming up with a pianist, she begins to hold recitals that spark a unlikely following of cultish fans around New York in the 1930s and 40s. Based on a true story, this beautiful comedy pierces the heart of the hopeful artist that lives in all of us.
March 2 and March 16 at Santé Wine Bar and Tap Room: Austrian Wine Flight Night. Santé Wine Bar & Tap Room will host consultant Chris Curtis of The Country Vintner to showcase his Austrian wines in its March Flight Night, with a theme of “Mozart Soard in Wine and Song.” Enjoy wine tasting from different regions of Austria, homeland of the great composer.
