Just visited an ex-truck service brewery.

Brouwerïj Cursus Km, in Asheville NC. It used to be Wright Motor Lines , doing a lot of business in Freightliners. Pictures follow:

Several trucks are still there, as you can see.

I particularly recommend the old lifted-cab. And the Imperial Stout.

Here’s a street view from before the Cadillac(?) was rescued for greener pastures.

The tables inside are milled sections of tree from the premises, and there are diesel I6 blocks everywhere.

...so that was my afternoon.

Looks cool, but I would’ve called it Wright Brewing and kept that old sign

T hat place looks super cool - hope they can make a go of it. Somebody on their Facebook said they have pickles?

Cannot confirm or deny , as I did not notice pickles on menu. The British red ipa and the Imperial Stout were both good, though.

They’re so new they don’t even have bottled brew. The only signage is a little sign on the fence. This place is hidden  as fuck. I hope whatever they come up with for a sign is cool, and I'm sure there's a reason for the Dutch name, but the old sign was admittedly neat.

“Brouwerïj Cursus Km”

That’s an odd name. ‘brouwerij’ (note the single dot on the i) is the Dutch word for brewery. ‘ij’ is pronounced as ‘I’ in ‘you and I’.

Yet ‘ Km’ is very un-dutch, we don’t use those accents and keme is not a Dutch word. Probably comes from an Eastern European language?

Cursus is dutch for course.

I’m aware the name is odd. I’d initially thought Eastern European until Google translate identified two Dutch words (or one and a half), so had assumed the third word was an obscurity, loan word, or a conceit like the accents would be in that case. Could be a created word of some kind.

I'll ask if I'm out there again.
