Thirsty Monk’s 5th Annual NYE Keg Drop

New York City drops a ball, Atlanta drops a peach and Miami drops an orange. In Asheville, Thirsty Monk drop a keg! Ring in the New Year at the Biltmore Park Monk as we welcome 2018 with our 5th Annual New Year’s Eve Keg Drop Celebration. Our two-story golden keg will be lit up and glowing on New Year’s Eve, descending at midnight as we tap a keg of Must Love Coconut IPA, and toast to the New Year! The Keg Drop Celebration is free to attend and ample parking is available for guests.

If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain, or if you’re just in the mood for an escape from the typical IPA, the Must Love Coconut IPA is for you. Brewed with 100 pounds of toasted coconut and a blast of Citra, Centennial and Amarillo hops, this Belgian-style IPA is a totally tropical experience. Flavors of stone fruit, tropical fruit and–you guessed it–coconut whisk you away to an island oasis, with hints of spice and citrus peaking through the palm trees. This special release is making an appearance on tap after many requests from its fans.
