History

Green Man Brewery was started in 1997 in the brew pub Jack of the Wood in downtown Asheville. Initially brewed in dairy tanks at the brewery's inception, the operations were relocated to a new brewery and connected taproom nicknamed "Dirty Jack's" in 2005, located in the South Slope area of Downtown Asheville, Buxton Avenue. Ownership switched from Joe Eckert to the current owner in 2010, while original brewer John Stuart continued to brew for Green Man after the change in owners. As the company's distribution footprint widened and popularity of Green Man's beers rose, the production abilities needed to be scaled up. An upgrade in 2006 saw production grow from 7bbl to 14bbl, and was later redoubled in 2012 to a 30 bbl brewhouse. In 2015, expansion continued with the addition of a 18,000 ft² bottling line, packaging, and shipping facility. In addition, there is also a 3,000 ft² beer garden in this new facility.
