Southern Appalachian Brewing Co. is celebrating its 10th birthday this weekend with new beer releases, raffles, music and food trucks. Now you can get in without a membership card.
Under ABC rules that seem quaint now, given the proliferation of breweries, owners Kelly and Andy Cubbin were allowed to open only as a private club with a set of rules, membership cards and a theme which they decided would be music appreciation. I still have two shoeboxes full of cards people never picked up, Kelly said. We had 282 people the first day and we just couldn t keep up with the cards.
Neither was the job description.
“When I read the announcement what the city said it was looking for was exactly the type of leader that I was. It just spoke to me,” he said.
Myhand, 51, emerged from a months-long search as one of two finalists for the job and in January was picked by City Manager John Connet to become the new police chief. He succeeds Herbert Blake, who took a job as chief deputy under Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller last August after 12 years as the city’s top law enforcement officer.
In an interview last week, Myhand gushed about the welcome he has received from city employees and businesses. One business sent a box of brownies. After he enjoyed a lunch at Bay Breeze, the restaurant owners gave him a gift certificate.
