We make everything from scratch. Our meats are smoked long & slow over select hardwoods, oak and cherry. We don’t believe there’s only one right style of barbecue and we’re not big on rules. You’ll find our recipes draw inspiration from all over the South (and sometimes the North), from old family favorites to new ones we’ve just whipped up. We believe in simple ingredients & lots of care in preparation make the best food.
For many years prior to the brewery’s inception and as the beer scene in Asheville continued to evolve and thrive, dreams of ways to merge BBQ and craft beer simmered. In the spring of 2019, Angela and Bryan relocated 12 Bones Smokehouse South and launched 12 Bones Brewing in a sprawling industrial building sandwiched between Hendersonville Road and a railroad line a little south of downtown Asheville. Swing by sometime for the BBQ and stay for the brews!
