Jan. 23: 3rd Annual Asheville Winter Warmer Festival
Tickets are now sold out to this festival, but it promises to be quite an event for those who have them. The lineup includes 9 breweries from the Asheville and Western NC area, 5 from the Piedmont and Triangle area, and even a couple from our neighboring states TN and GA, live music, and local food. If you’re not going, find someone who is and live vicariously through them. If you are going, let us know what you think about it!

LoneRider
Mar 21
Steve Kramling, Mihir Patel, and Sumit Vohra are three everyman working in office jobs until the idea of starting their own brewery moved from the watercooler conversation to reality. LoneRider is a production brewery in Raleigh just around the corner from the Research Triangle Park where they all met. They opened in January this year. We sat down recently and they told Know Your Brewer about their experiences in opening LoneRider Brewery.
