The legendary Green Man has existed for centuries but it’s no myth that he’s been brewing award-winning ales in Asheville since 1997. As one of North Carolina’s original breweries, Green Man has been producing some of the beer scene’s most iconic ales. Our offerings are consistently recognized for quality and a loyalty to traditional English styles. Additionally, our brewers strive to bring innovative and exciting new flavors to beer-loving folks. “Dirty Jack’s” was the first (and Asheville's oldest) brewery/taproom to open on the South Slope. The bar is laid into the brewery, where we still brew some of our taproom exclusive specialty beers. If you love a local vibe with regulars and dogs, this is your place! With 3 TV's, dart boards & a covered outdoor patio, we keep it just dirty enough to feel like home! New ownership in 2010 spurred changes at Green Man with a focus on production, distribution, and growth. In 2015 construction was completed on the Green Mansion, a 3 story, 20,000 square ft., packaging hall, “brewtique”, and an indoor/outdoor top floor taproom that overlooks production and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We invite you to visit both locations and experience our evolution! 2022 saw Green Man celebrate a milestone 25th Anniversary, bringing back limited batches of classic retired styles freshly updated for the modern palate as well as continuing to explore and innovate with all new styles available in our tap rooms. We also opened our kitchen, Green Man Eats, and began offering the South Slope fresh, scratch made pub fare done right! Numerous and exciting new ventures are in the works as we celebrate our legendary past while looking forward to an even greener future.

Green Man beers are all natural; the main ingredients consist of malted barley, hops, water and yeast. Our flagship beers are all fermented with our house ale yeast, and we use a variety of yeast strains depending on the style. Some of our specialty beers may also contain wheat or rye. All of our barley and hop varieties are non-GMO, all natural, and processed by traditional methods without additives or chemicals. We filter most of our offerings for appearance and to improve shelf life (using a natural clarifying agent derived from kelp), but we try not to filter heavily or pasteurize. We feel our beers taste better this way. Some styles are left with traces of yeast present (no one wants a crystal clear hazy).

A Green Man is a sculpture, drawing, or other representation of a face surrounded by or made from leaves. Branches or vines may sprout from the nose, mouth, nostrils or other parts of the face and these shoots may bear flowers or fruit. Commonly used as a decorative architectural ornament, Green Men are frequently found on carvings in churches and other buildings (both secular and ecclesiastical). “The Green Man” is also a popular name for English public houses and various interpretations of the name appear on inn signs, which sometimes show a full figure rather than just the head. The Green Man motif has many variations. Found in many cultures around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or “renaissance,” representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some speculate that the mythology of the Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.
