High Country Beer Festival
Jun 17
I recently received a note regarding the High Country Beer festival September 3rd in Boone, NC. This is what ASU’s Seth Cohen had to say:
We put this festival on at Appalachian State as part of our not-for-profit fundraising for a brewing and fermentation programs we are developing. The proceeds (those we do not donate to our annual
charitable cause) go to buying equipment, supplies, grains, hops etc. and paying students for internships and research in the brewhouse etc.
We had nearly 60 breweries up here last year including most everyone from NC! Its a small event (2500 tickets) that sells out and has been a blast. We will have 8-10 seminars this year ranging from discussions
with brewers about brewing to style, transferring from home to business-brewer, the history of beer and brewing through and array of beer and food pairings.

September Beer Fests
Aug 30
HIGH COUNTRY BEER FEST September 4th
Third annual beer fest for Boone benefits the Watauga Children’s Council. Tickets still available. Music includes The Henhouse Thieves, BPL and The Switch. Seminars available include: Cask Conditioned Ale Tasting and a Beer and Cheese Pairing.
BREWGRASS FESTIVAL September 18th
Hand’s down the best fest that I’ve worked. Best crowd, mostly NC/SC/ TN breweries, great bluegrass / Americana music all in the heart of BEER CITY USA! It’s a long day (noon-7pm) but the crowd, for the most part, “maintains” and the music is usually world class. Not some unknown cover band playing “Brown Eyed Girl” like most beer fests. This year The Infamous Stringdusters are headlining! This one sells out way in advance. Start planning for next year!
CHARLOTTE OKTOBERFEST September 25th
This one is unique because it includes a HUGE representation of homebrew clubs from around the state. Why so many homebrews? Because this one is run by homebrewers! Specifically the Carolina BrewMasters. This years fest will raise money for The National Kidney Foundation of North Carolina and The Autism Society of North Carolina.
