Luminosity & Point of Consciousness Double Bottle Release
Mar 15 @ 2:00 pm – Mar 16 @ 12:00 am
Twin Leaf Brewery

Our month-long anniversary celebration continues with a double bottle release of our flagship Luminosity Belgian Tripel and, for the first time ever, our new Point of consciousness Coffee Tripel.

Deep golden in color, with a wonderful complexity from the classic Trappist yeast strain, our Luminosity is slightly sweet and fruity with notes of orange, banana, spice and soft alcohols. This high gravity tripel is surprisingly easy drinking with a light body which, if you aren’t careful, can sneak up on you! Permanently available on tap, our flagship brew will only be available in bottles for a limited run.

Our Luminosity became so popular over the years we began to experiment with a variety of adjuncts. Coffee was by far the most well-received of those adjuncts, and thus the search for the perfect roast began! After several different batches, we finally found exactly what we were looking for with the help of our friends at High Noon Coffee Roasters. We are very proud and excited to introduce the first run of the Point of Consciousness Coffee Tripel in 500 ml bottles. Drawing on inspiration from the cult classic, A Clockwork Orange, this flavor-packed brew calls you to awaken, explore, discover, and reach your Point of Consciousness.

Both brews will be available in 500ml bottles and on tap while supplies last. Don’t miss out!

Asheville Climate Strike
Mar 15 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Pritchard Park

We, the youth of America, are striking because decades of inaction has left us with just 11 years (or less) to solve the climate crisis. We are striking because the necessary action to achieve the common-sense and vital goal of fighting climate change is not being prioritized. We are striking because marginalized communities across our nation —especially indigenous, black, and low income communities— are already disproportionately impacted by climate change, yet, few people in positions of power have acknowledged this reality, and even fewer have begun to confront it appropriately.

We are at a turning point in history. Our futures are at stake. We call for radical legislative action to combat climate change and its countless detrimental effects on the American people. We are striking for the Green New Deal, a fair and just transition to decarbonize the US economy, and other legislative action that combats the effects of climate change. We stand in solidarity with Greta Thunberg and all youth strikers worldwide as we demand action on this issue.

Join us at Pritchard Park on March 15th for a rally, speakers, and a call to action. Rally will begin at 4:30.

Science Pub: Political Technology and Royal Architectural Design
Mar 15 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Asheville Museum of Science

Classic Maya civilization developed between CE 250-900 in Central America and is most famous for its large cities now buried under the tropical forest and its complex hieroglyphic writing system. Both of these cultural traits, attributable to elite material culture, can be traced to enduring forms of centralized governance – royal courts – who sponsored construction projects and recorded their history on stone monuments. This talk investigates how Classic Maya royals managed to establish and maintain their power through an evolving political apparatus. This discussion highlights changing architectural and communicational technologies which allowed the numerous Classic Maya kingdoms to endure for centuries. In the absence of modern communicational technologies, how did Classic Maya royals maintain their political networks? How did they secure the fealty of allies and vassals? How did they establish their sovereignty with the general population? The answer to these questions address the design of regal palaces, political stages, and politically-charged art programs, along with feasting and scribal practices.
