I love a collaboration. Collaborations come in all shapes and sizes. For our business, they make the world go-round. One of the things I love about Asheville, are the collaborations that just continue to enhance our food and drink scene. Regularly we try to showcase local vendors in our shops that have launched collaborations to expand their offerings. Here are three of my recent favorites:

The Collaboration Between Spicewalla and Rapper T-Pain Is Straight Fire!
Chef Meherwan Irani collaborated with rapper T-Pain to create a three-pack of custom blends that'll guarantee you never have to wing it with your wings again! Buy them here to elevate your epic Super-Bowl wing party!

HIGHLAND COLD MOUNTAIN POPCORN
The best of both worlds. Gourmet popcorn from Poppy and Cold Mountain Spiced Winter Ale from Highland Brewing. With cinnamon, caramel and a touch of salt, this limited-edition echoes the festive flavors of Highland Brewing’s Cold Mountain Winter Ale.

Just like the namesake beer, get it while you can! Shop Here to pickup your Poppy Popcorn or swing into our shops. These will be off the shelf very soon!

Pisah Brewing Mole Stout
Beer Style: Chocolate Chili Spiced Stout - Collab with French Broad Chocolates

Spice up the season with a stout crafted from a zesty blend of spices, cacao nibs from French Broad Chocolates and locally grown hot peppers.  Whole Madagascar vanilla beans balance the warmth and richness of this delightful Mole Stout.

Stop by the shops sometime or keep an eye on our social media announcements for fun events, promotions, and new collaborations! I love the humility and creative potential that comes from collaborations. In many cases, both businesses get great publicity and can stay within their strengths. See y’all soon!
