USA, NC: UpCountry Brewing to open second location in Brevard

UpCountry Brewing, based in West Asheville, keeps heading further into the mountains with a second brewery and taproom space nestled into the foothills of the entrance to the Pisgah Forest in Brevard, NC, Brewbound reported on November 22.

UpCountry currently brews a variety of rotating styles for every drinker, including lagers, sours, and IPAs. This second location will give hikers, bikers, and adventure-goers a place to load up, or take a load off, as they explore the forests of western North Carolina.

�We love being part of the North Carolina outdoors,� says UpCountry�s Founder John Cochran. �In synch with our brand re-launch this year, we started looking for ways to connect with folks who love making craft beer part of their lives, either as a companion on the trail or as a celebration after a good, long day spent outside. When this opportunity manifested, it seemed like the perfect fit.�

On the back of their Simply Sour series, the UpCountry brewing team will be expanding their wood-aged and sour program at the new taproom space, giving themselves some room to run with experimental beers and special releases.

�This is an exciting phase for us,� says Cochran. �It�s time to let our brewing team really shine. This new space will give people who seek out adventure in their glass a place to focus on a new UpCountry experience. We�re going to start with some brett beers on draft as the sour stuff lays down for a while and matures. It�ll be an exercise in patience!�
