Barns, particularly historical ones, have unique personalities and lofty stories to tell.
Whiteside Brewing Co., which opened earlier this year, established residence in Cashiers’ old Ezekiel Barn. The brewery is separated from its sister establishment, the Laurelwood Inn, by ample parking and an acre of green, all under the ownership of Bob and Lise Dews.
The brewery, with its sparkling stainless pipes, fittings, and valves, shines against the warm tones of white pine, which spans floor-to-gambrel roof. The lumber was milled from pines, which once stood on the barn’s current footprint.
“It’s very Cashiers. A lot of people remember the barn’s history so we preserved it,” Bob Dews explains.
Whiteside’s interior is a sensual delight. The appetizing aromas of Andy Ellis’s mouth-watering cuisine (don’t miss his barbecue) and the compelling fragrance of the perfect batch by German born and raised Brewmiester Dieter Kuhn, cranks up customers taste buds. An open kitchen allows diners to see through and watch the chefs stirring up a feast.
The efficient and casual serving style allows you to choose the perfect setting to enjoy your experience at Whiteside Brewing Co. Simply place your order at the counter then take a seat that suits your mood/need (business meeting, family gathering, or just enjoy the fresh mountain air in their park like setting) and one of their friendly staff will deliver your food. Served in recyclable boxes make take-out a snap.
Whether it’s in garden boots, work boots, hiking boots, or dress boots kind of day, Whiteside Brewing Co. is a craft beer, relaxed dining, entertainment destination for singles, couples, families, and pets. You’ll enjoy the variety of ways Laurelwood Inn and Whiteside Brewery Co. pair up for an entertainment experience guaranteed to please.
With all the Dews’ care, planning, promotion, and devotion to the Spirit of Cashiers, think of the volumes of new stories Ol’ Ezekiel’s barn can tell.
