Slightly Dysfunctional People Pleasers While I wouldn’t call them “dysfunctional,” I would definitely call them “people pleasers.” Mark and Polly, husband and wife co-owners of the Village Wayside Bar & Grille, put in the extra time and effort to be sure that every customer enjoys their dining experience. Customer service, cleanliness and consistently good food are their top priorities and it shows. From the immaculate dining room and bar to the extra attention they put into every dish, Mark and Polly have earned the respect of not only their peers in the service industry, but visitors and locals alike. Village Wayside Bar & Grille is located in the historic 1896 Biltmore Village Train Depot, a place where most visitors at that time got their first impression of Asheville. Mark continues the tradition of being an ambassador to Biltmore Village since the location is still where many tourists first stop when they come to town. It’s hard to have a bad first impression when you taste the sweet hibiscus peach tea brined turkey in his Turkey Rueben. The homemade sourdough is unmistakable. Potsy’s Piggies Cabbage Rolls are a family recipe and have such a reputation that people come from miles away to enjoy. Every dish has a story and is on the menu for a reason. The Doc’s DeCarlo Sandwich is a recipe borrowed from Doc Watson’s Restaurant in Toledo, Ohio where Mark and Polly met. The “to die for” Coconut Cream Pie was taken from a hand written recipe Mark found while cleaning out his late grandmother’s home. Then, of course, there is the beer. You’ll always find a local beer on tap and can even enjoy beer in some of their recipes, like the French Broad Kolsch beer that is used in their beer battered onion rings. Village Wayside Bar & Grille is one of the only places in the village open late night and you’re guaranteed to have good food and good service every time. Open Mon.-Sat. 11 a.m.-1 a.m. • Sun. 12p.m.-1 a.m. 30 Lodge St., Biltmore Village • Asheville, NC 28803 • 828.277.4121

A Quick Guide to

BEER STYLES

Here are a few beer styles you’re likely to encounter in WNC, though this is only a drop in the barrell compared to more than 50 styles listed by the Beer Judge Certification Program. Beer, my friends, is a complex animal. Amber: Typically an ale that isn’t quite dark, but more amber-hued. Often toasted malt flavor. Hops profile can vary. India Pale Ale: IPAs are typically higher in hops bitterness than Pales. American hops tend to have a citrusy or piney aroma and flavor. A hoppy and bitter ale that often has higher alcohol by volume than a regular pale. Lager: Clear, crisp and dry. While domestic U.S. lagers have a sweetness that comes from corn or rice adjuncts, craft beer lagers will have more of a floral hop presence. Pale Ale: Typically medium bitterness with some malt aroma and flavor. A good basic beer to drink with a variety of foods.

5

Each of our beers is designed to both satisfy your taste buds and quench your thirst, so no matter what your mood or what you are craving, we have the right beer for you.

Pilsner: Clean, crisp lager style with a bit more hops, typically Noble hops which are aromatic but low in bitterness. Porter: Malty medium-full dark ale, with less of a strong roasted barley character than a stout. Stout: Very dark, sweet, full-bodied ale. Often tastes of coffee or chocolate from the roasted malts. Wheat beer: Typically fruity, spicy and bubbly. Never heavy. Refreshing beers that many like to drink during the warmer months.

Be A Beer

ADVENTURER Asheville is known as an adventurous little city and our breweries are no different. Perhaps you’re here for the arts, historical sites, or the great outdoors, but while visiting, why not have a beer adventure? With over 20 breweries in Western North Carolina (and more on the way), it’s easy to take a break and enjoy some fine fermentables from the brewery source, one of our many beer establishments, and bottle shops.

TIPS FOR TASTING: 1) O rder a flight. For a variety of flavors, ask your server if beer flights are available. Breweries and some bar/restaurants will offer 3-4oz sample flights--or, even half-pints and small pours--just ask! You’ll be able to try more beers along the way. When you find one you love, order a glass! 2) C hoose beers that sound tasty to you. Beer ratings are great, often helpful, but your palette is your own. Beer is a personal experience. Embrace it and drink what you like. Still unsure? Ask one of Asheville’s many knowledgeable beertenders. They are trained to guide you. 3) T ake some local beer home. Asheville is home to many great bottle shops. You can support a small brewery and a small business at the same time. Many places offer single bottles or mixed six-packs (and even ship to some states), so you can take your favorites home and share your beer adventure with friends.

Craft Beer Through the Seasons At its heart, craft beer is an agricultural commodity. The farmers who grow the grains and hops that end up in your pint glass pay special attention to the weather, the length of day, and seasonal trends. These earthly cues also influence the seasonally conscious brewer. In the summer, we enjoy light and refreshing saisons and hefeweizens. In the fall, we celebrate the hop harvest with fresh hop ales. High-gravity bocks and barley wines help shake off the winter chills. In Western North Carolina, we are fortunate to enjoy a variety of beer styles year round, but some are especially fitting at certain times of the year. No matter when you visit the area, there will always be a fresh, seasonal brew waiting for you. SPRING Bocks and strong ales with their high alcohol content offer a warming nip through the final days of winter. Celebrate the month of March with a French-style Bière de Mars, a malt-forward yet refreshingly dry farmhouse ale. A dark, roasty Irish stout is required on St. Patrick’s Day.

SUMMER Through the heat of summer, lighter ales and lagers provide cooling refreshment. Belgian-style saisons often feature summer crops – look for locally grown fruit, herbs, and spices to make an appearance. Wheat beers, like the fruity and effervescent Bavarian-style hefeweizen, make for a pleasing afternoon in the sun. FALL Oktoberfest kicks off the celebration of the fall harvest with amber-colored, Germanstyle Märzen lagers. The popular pumpkin beers start to appear as we inch toward the holidays. Fall is also the height of apple season. Take this opportunity to explore some of WNC’s cider makers. WINTER Through the icy winter months, high-gravity “winter warmers” shield us from the cold and encourage holiday cheer. Look for rich imperial stouts, strong Scotch ales, and potent barley wines to warm the palate. Barrel aged ales are also timely in the winter. Year in and year out, it’s always a good time for craft beer in Western North Carolina!

Beer Tasting Notes

Hit the road, pull up a stool and rate the bounty of brews WNC has to offer.

Mouthfeel: How does the beer physically feel in your mouth? Is it chewy or fizzy or smooth?

M ain S

23

Come see what our hills have to offer

Taste: Try to gauge how the beer changes from beginning to middle to end of a sip. Is it bitter or sweet at first? What flavors linger after you swallow?

Aroma: Sniff your beer. Does it smell of bitter hops or sweet malts? Does the carbonation release certain scents to your nose?
