Ginger the Llama Release Party! (with a REAL llama!)

Have you taken a selfie with a Llama yet? Thursday, April 4, from 5-7 p.m., is your chance! Lightening the Llama will be hanging out on the patio at Asheville Brewing’s Coxe Avenue location. Everyone’s invited to meet Lightening, and if you’re over 21, you can toast Lightening with Asheville Brewing’s new Ginger the Llama Alcoholic Ginger Beer!

This uncomplicated, refreshing ginger beer contains a blend of local Rayburn Farms and Peruvian gingers, both of which impart a subtle spice. The resulting 4.8% ABV elixir is light and crisp enough to help you zip to the top of the Machu Picchu. It’s brewed with love but without gluten.

Llamas roam wild all over the Andes Mountains in Peru, and they are one of the few animals able to live happily at such high altitudes. The bold flavor of Peruvian ginger evokes that same rugged landscape. Numerous Western North Carolina farms and businesses also employ llamas to protect sheep or to serve as pack animals. They also can make loving pets.

As a Llama day special, Ginger the Llama will be $4 per pint on April 4th. Moving forward, every Thursday will be Llama Day at Asheville Brewing, including $4.50 pints of the ginger brew, and 10% off food for gingers (even if it’s out of a bottle) at both the Merrimon and Coxe Avenue locations. Stay tuned for details on a ginger-inspired pizza.

Ginger the Llama is available on tap at your favorite WNC watering hole or restaurant, and the ginger beer soon will be available in cans to take home or on your next llama adventure.

Bring the family to meet Lightening on Thursday, April 4, from 5-7 p.m., and let Ginger the Llama (beer) trot over your taste buds!

Yoga in the Park Asheville

***Please read to the bottom***

💖Join together over-looking the serene French Broad river in this all-level friendly Hatha flow taught by certified yoga instructor Ceiara Cartony, ceceyogini.com

.
Suggested contribution $5-10 – accepting cash or Venmo @CeiaraCartony

.
This 75 minute class will start with a brief meditation/philosophical opening and move into a slow to moderate-paced flow. Intertwining movement with breath, we will open our hearts, create heat in the body, stimulate the brain & rejuvenate our well-being. Postures are always guided to offer modifications and variations to accommodate the very beginner to a long-time practitioner. We will close with savasana/brief meditation.

.
Limited props are provided(blankets, blocks & straps) on a first-come basis. Some mats will also be available. If you have props/mats, I encourage you to bring them! Please arrive early to allow time to settle and ensure you don’t miss centering(so important in this practice!).

.
Please leave your fur babies at home, I strive to create a serene class environment with the least amount of distractions. Classes are recommended for children 8+ but younger are welcome to join if they’re able to remain on their mat space(I’ve had children bring head phones or other quiet activities if they lose interest in the class).

.
We will gather at the east end of Carrier Park in the grass over-looking the river (turn left after coming into main entrance & park far left). Go beyond the picnic shelter just passed the little stream/bushes to the left.
