I stumbled upon 12 Bones (and Asheville) on a BBQ trip last summer. Was enjoying a couple pints at Heinzelmanchen brewery in Sylva, NC on the ways from Great Smokey Mountain National Park with Dieter the brewer in his brewery (a converted garage). When I told him my reason for being in Sylva (eat all things BBQ down south), he suddenly became possessed. He frantically drew me a map of Asheville and directions to a BBQ place called 12 Bones and the Wedge brewery. Said it would be the best BBQ I have ever had. Now mind you Dieter was a german and didn't seem like a man who hastily dished out superlatives...so after about the 15th time of him telling me to go I agreed and we tossed aside our plans (whatever they were I forgot) and drove to Asheville. Best decision of the trip. What a great town. 12 Bones was closed when we arrived, but we soaked ourselves on the patio at Wedge Brewery while listening to a weird bluegrass/blues/country/Caribbean band...guitarist/banjo player was sick. 12 Bones the next day, after some pretty interesting experiences with the local.
Dieter can be found
