Three cool events are rolling your way this week, with the first being today.
Today marks the opening of Mother Earth’s new tap room. It’s located right next to the brewery. Brewer Josh Brewer has this to say: “All four of our staple beers will be on tap along with a cask IPA on hand pump,a barrel aged Imperial IPA blended with a Belgian Tripel along with a sneak peak of our new Belgian Tripel. Come join us!” Even if you’re nowhere near Kinston, it’s probably worth the trip. Help them celebrate this awesome new expansion!
