Miramar-based\u00a0White Labs<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>is well known worldwide for its expertise in yeast used in the manufacture of beer, wine and other libations, but starting\u00a0tomorrow<\/b>, it will take its work with edible-based fermentation to the people when it opens its first-ever restaurant,\u00a0White Labs Kitchen and Tap<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in downtown Asheville, North Carolina. White Labs debuted at its East Coast digs in January of this year, with the establishment of a full-scale laboratory and yeast-production facility complete with a tasting room similar to that of its San Diego predecessor, elements of which\u2014such as hanging Erlenmeyer flask light fixtures\u2014will be on display at the company\u2019s new 5,200-square-foot eatery.<\/p>\n

Like White Labs\u2019 sampling venues, multiple versions of singular beers produced by the company (via the in-house brewery at the San Diego facility) and differentiated by the type of yeast used to ferment them will be available side-by-side. Doing so allows patrons to taste the significant influence yeast has on a finished beer. A portion of White Labs Kitchen and Tap\u2019s 28 taps will dispense those house ales and lagers while a rotating stock of guest beers (including collaboration creations worked up by neighbor breweries including Burial Beer Co.<\/a><\/strong>, Hi-Wire Brewing<\/a><\/strong> and Mad Co. Brewing<\/a><\/strong> specifically for the restaurant\u2019s opening) will round out the beverage program along with wine and specialty cocktails.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s total square-footage is divided into 3,000 indoors with an outdoor patio coming in at roughly 2,200. Up to 100 guests at a time may partake from an eclectic menu that focuses heavily on dishes incorporating fermented components. The most obvious of them are wood-fired pizzas produced using slow-risen dough made using White Labs pure liquid yeast cultures. Then there are French fries brined in lactobacillus and bread made with WLP830 German Lager Yeast. Other adventurous accoutrements include a sour-beer vinaigrette on a kale salad, whey toffee, and a burger-topping barbecue sauce incorporating barley miso and White Labs\u2019 Pasteur Porter ale slathered on a roll made with WLP002 English Ale Yeast. It\u2019s anything but your everyday take on everyday food.<\/p>\n

White Labs Kitchen and Tap is located adjacent from the company\u2019s Asheville facility at 172 South Charlotte Street<\/strong>. Should you find yourself in that easterly locale and looking for a taste of home, its hours are 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday<\/strong> and 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
