- Brewing great beer since 1997, Green Man Brewery was founded in downtown Asheville. The brewery provides a unique location and is a popular local hang out. The brewery and tasting room is open seven days a week at noon. The pub offers a variety of it's own Green Man ales, specialty brews, and guest taps. As one of Asheville's oldest breweries, we are proud to craft some of the beer scene's most iconic ales. Loyalty to traditional brewing techniques while creating innovative ales is Green Man's constant quest.
