Thirsty Monk Brewery & Pub - Biltmore Park

 

 

 

I remembered this area from visiting Brixx last time I was in Asheville, so it's good to see this "new" place pop up. It's fairly big, with a good bar area, and plenty of seats, although the seating situation is mostly long pews/booths, which seems to me to make it a little awkward if the place is crowded. A lot of good stuff on tap, primarily local brews, as well as house brews, with half-size pour and sampler options giving you a good chance to try more. There is also a large bottle selection, with a good selection from the craft beer spectrum, and a lot of Belgian stuff--as hinted by the name of the place. I figured it made most sense to try some of the house brews, and the Cherry Gose was my favorite among them. We had a great experience with the service, as our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Food was fine. Sandwiches, burgers, tacos, pizza.

Nice place overall, and worth checking out.

One of their locations away from downtown. Was quite impressed and the bartender was very personable and knowledgeable. The beers were all solid, as were their guest taps. Off the beaten path and worth a visit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Service here is top notch and they not only know their beer, they love it. The wife has dropped me off here before while doing shopping around the park, it's an awesome beer oasis. Food is snack level, the glass full of bacon is delicious. Selection is not as large as downtown, not surprising, but plenty of asheville are craft, including some of the rarer options that are wonderful. Various styles with a more classic slant
