Hey NC Beer Fans -There are two festivals coming up in June that should be on your radar.
First, coming up fast, is the Beer City Festival. Help Asheville celebrate winning BeerCity USA by sampling beers from in and around the Beer City, as well as beer from around the state!
Tickets are $35/ea. you can get them online at the Beer City Festival website or at select locations in Asheville. The festival runs from 12:00 to 6:00 on June 5th.
Second, on the other side of the state, the first annual BrewBern Beer Fest is coming to New Bern, NC. It coincides with New Bern’s 300th birthday celebration, so it should be a great time to be around, beer notwithstanding. Proceeds from the festival go to Hope for the Warriors and, of course, us!
BrewBern just released their list of participating brewers (scroll down to the bottom of this page) and they feature a huge list of great North Carolina beer, as well as many others.
Tickets are $35/ea ($40 at the door). Two sessions, one from 12PM to 4PM and another from 6PM to 10PM on June 26th.
If you get out to either of these, let us know! Take pictures, and send ‘em our way!
Cheers!
