Catawba Brewing Company welcomed the new year with an update on its plans to open a second brewing facility and tasting room in Asheville.

Catawba announced in a Jan. 1 statement that it will move forward by tearing down the existing structure and starting from scratch, building a two-story brewery and tasting room with outdoor beer garden areas. Construction is expected to begin in February with a projected midsummer completion date.
In the meantime, Catawba plans to set up a temporary tasting room starting in early February in an old strip mall at 63 Brook St., across the street from Fig restaurant and its 2 Fairview Road site.
