Get ready for Halloween Movie Week at Asheville Pizza “Boo & View” from Friday, October 26 to Thursday, November 1st!
Tis the season for spooky movies, and we have something for people of all ages and tastes. Check showtimes on our website here:
https://www.ashevillebrewing.com/movies/
TICKETS FOR MONSTER HOUSE & 28 DAYS LATER – $3.00 tickets are available one day in advance of your desired showtime. For example, tickets for Friday the 26th go on sale Thursday the 25th. No online tickets. Only available at our 675 Merrimon Avenue location.
The week’s movie lineup is…
MONSTER HOUSE IN 3D (2 matinees each day):
This 2006 classic from producer Steven Spielberg is always ranked as one of the best Halloween movies for kids. It’s hilarious, action-packed, and just a little bit spooky. There will be 2 matinees each day in 3D except on Tuesday and Wednesday when we show it in regular 2D.
28 DAYS LATER (Friday to Wednesday at 10:00pm except on Saturday, Oct. 27th):
Oscar-winning writer/director Danny Boyle flipped the zombie genre on it’s head in 2002 long before The Walking Dead appeared. It’s considered one of the best horror films of all time, and is absolutely terrifying on the big screen in a dark theater.
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Saturday, Oct. 27th @ 10:00pm):
Rocky returns for a special Halloween show with a live shadowcast (Unexpected Pleasures) performing along with the movie. This will sell out in advance, so get your tickets early. Advance $6.00 tickets are now on sale at the ticket link above. ADULTS ONLY SHOW, AGES 18+.
BEETLEJUICE ~ 30th Anniversary (October 29 – 31 @ 7:00pm):
The Ghost with the Most is back! We sold out 2 shows last year with people begging us to bring it back. It’s weird, wild, hilarious and we expect people dancing in their seats at the dinner party scene. Advance $3.00 tickets are now on sale at the ticket link above.

More info to come soon!

CompostNow, Asheville GreenWorks, & New Belgium Brewing are teaming up to fight scary Halloween food waste!
Most of the 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins produced in the U.S. end up in the landfill. We think there’s a better way to use old pumpkins which is why we’re hosting a free community event “Smash Don’t Trash” on Sunday, November 4th from 12pm-4pm at New Belgium Brewing.
Community members are encouraged to bring their old pumpkins to be composted rather than landfilled. The event will host pumpkin smashing stations, kid-friendly activities, and music on the spacious lawn at New Belgium Brewery. You can also get a $1 off the Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin beer while supplies last!
All compostables will be processed by Danny’s Dumpster, a family-owned hauling and processing business in Asheville. All compost created from “Smash Don’t Trash” will be shared with Sand Hill Community Garden and Asheville GreenWork’s Sand Hill Orchard and Nursery.
Can’t make the event? There will be a dumpster on Craven Street in front of the brewery all weekend long! Drop your pumpkins off and they’ll still be composted!
All are welcome! Join us for a smashing good time!

Performance: Healing Modes by Brooklyn Rider
“[Brooklyn Rider’s] superb playing is matched only by the thought, commitment and inspiration its members pour into projects…making the string quartet not a relic of times long gone, but a vessel for the shape of music to come” – NPR Music.
BMCM+AC and UNC Asheville presents the Asheville debut of the eclectic string quartet Brooklyn Rider with premiere of their new project Healing Modes. The healing properties of music have been recognized from ancient Greek civilization to the field of modern neuroscience and expressed in countless global traditions. The slow movement of Beethoven’s Opus 132, a ‘Song of Holy Thanksgiving From a Convalescent to the Deity in the Lydian mode,’ is among the most profound expressions of healing in the string quartet repertoire. This autumnal masterwork is presented in its entirety alongside five compact new commissions which explore the subject of healing from a wide range of historical and cultures perspectives. Composers include Tyondai Braxton, Reena Esmail, Gabriela Lena Frank, Matana Roberts and recent Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw.
$10 for BMCM+AC members + students w/ID / $15 non-members
