Cognative Brew (beer/coffee) House opens in Horse Shoe

Question

Accepted Answer

SO HAPPY that Cognative Brew House, owned by Austin & Andrea Bankert, opened today at the main Horse Shoe intersection of Brevard Rd/Hwy 64 and South Rugby Road!
&#8220;Brew&#8221; refers to beer on tap and craft espresso/coffee drinks. I also spotted a few bottles of wine. They just got their ABC license, so wine and beer should be available any time now. Wine&#8217;s available by the glass and bottle.
Check out the Menu Image. They&#8217;re offering a number of items in addition to coffee, like pastries, avocado toast, tea, and smoothies.
When I stopped in today, Austin (assumption) was on a support call for their bean grinder. It seemed to be settled by the time I got my order at the counter. Later Andrea mentioned that Austin was setting up Wi-Fi as we spoke. So if you go anytime soon, the lesson here is to have patience, they&#8217;ve JUST opened and are working intensely to fine tune everything.
As I chatted with Andrea, it was obvious they&#8217;ve been working so intensely, they hadn&#8217;t had time to stop and take a breath.
I then relayed (along with my praises) to Andrea, what I&#8217;d overheard a woman saying about the shop &#8211; that she loved the interior, it felt spacious, seats weren&#8217;t on top of each other, yet it felt cozy. It just felt good. And that the accessible ramp, which she needed, was perfect.
I could see Andrea starting to tear up. She explaining she&#8217;d been so busy, she hadn&#8217;t had time to slow down and observe how the shop was being received. So sweet.
The Brew House is a sister business to Cognative MTB (https://cognativemtb.com/), a lifestyle and performance apparel company for bike/mountain bike/bicycle riders. It&#8217;s operated out of another section of the building. Of note, they donate 2% of all gear sales to &#8220;For the Trails Campaign&#8221;.
