185 KING STREET A PLACE FOR MUSICIANS AND AUDIENCES
I
t was just a couple years ago when Madeline Magin and her fiancé, Cody Noble, decided to take the plunge on a longtime dream by opening Noblebrau Brewing in Brevard. The endeavor also included taking over the storied 185 King Street music venue/restaurant housed in the building. “We began construction of the brewery in November 2019 and worked on the build-out through the early months of the pandemic,” Magin said. “We’d al-
18
ready bought all the equipment and all of our plans were in the works. So, we had our fingers crossed about reopening in the fall of 2020 when live music and gatherings would be allowed again.” When the COVID mandates were lifted and folks were once again able to congregate and see live music, 185 King Street and the brewery quickly became a highly sought-after beacon of music, culinary delights and genuine connec-
tivity dearly missed during the shutdown. “Our goal is to provide an amazing experience to people — to come and play, and to come and listen,” Magin said. “We want everyone to enjoy the beautiful music of our local artists and national touring groups. We’re constantly doing our best to uphold those two goals and continue to grow in the process.” Established in 2009 by Jackson
