Snyder said they are doing their best to use locally sourced ingredients for their beer. All of the spent grain left over from the brewing goes to Whitehouse Beef & Berry Farm in Marion, which is helping a local grower.

“He’s helping us by not having to put so much in the trash can,” said Snyder.

The work that was done for their building was locally sourced as well. They used mostly McDowell companies along with some from Buncombe.

The outdoor deck’s metal wall was also made by Turtle Labs and the metal panels feature the symbols of Mica Town. Lights are suspended over the deck. During the warmer months, this should be a popular spot for local and tourists alike. It will also be a welcoming place for canine companions. “We invite people to bring their dogs for the outside deck,” said Causey.

Like Refinery 13 and Spillway Bridge & Co., Mica Town won’t be a restaurant. But pre-packaged food like chips, cheese and hummus will be available as well as free popcorn. Patrons are welcome to bring in food or have it delivered.

“We’d love to make connections with food trucks,” said Causey.

There’s also an assortment of non-alcoholic drinks.
