Making Martial Arts Latino Champions in Asheville

Not long ago, Chef John Atwater asked me to go with him to the farmers market to look for hot peppers, and produce for the salsas they make at Mamacita’s Taqueria, and Taco Temple.

Well, that was a few years ago. I remember that when we arrived at the Asheville’s Farmers Market, almost right away, I felt transported to México. The smell of tomatoes, hot peppers, cilantro, watermelons and the sight of Vanessa, a Mexican grandmother surrounded by 4 or 5 kids, made me feel like I had travelled in time.

A Mexican Making Beer In Asheville.

What up everyone! Today, I want to tell you of a place I just found, and I find it very unique. In fact, this place makes me go back in time,a time when the biggest locally owned brewery started.

If you have lived in Asheville for a while, you may remember the days when Asheville only had three breweries in town. Two of them made beer out of a pizzeria’s basement and the other one was also a concept involving pizza! (It still is btw)
