NCBeerGuys: Reporting on beer reporting
The NCBeerGuys were pleased to be recently invited to an NC Craft Beer media event hosted by the NC Craft Brewers Guild at Natty Greene's Pub and Brewing Company at their Raleigh location.
Posted — UpdatedEighteen breweries participated and the great folks at Natty's provided scrumptious food from their menu to pair up with all the great beer.
Margo Knight Metzger, executive director of the NC Craft Brewers Guild provided handouts and spoke to us briefly about the latest news and statistics on the beer industry within North Carolina. One of the most interesting handouts she provided was a list of 23 NC Breweries-In-Planning! These 23 hopefuls want to join an industry that includes some 105 (by our count) already active breweries across the state. Think you can't easily find a place to drink local quality craft beer in NC? Think again!
Metzger also shared copies of the recent proclamation by Gov. Pat McCrory of April as "North Carolina Beer Month." This proclamation was made in recognition of the positive impact the thriving beer industry makes on the state's economy. NC Beer Month encourages residents and travelers both to explore a wide range of planned special beer-themed events that will showcase the industry's quality products and southern hospitality.
The beer industry across North Carolina is booming indeed. Get out during April and find a local brewery, beer festival or locally produced beer to enjoy. Experience for yourself the homegrown quality that pours out of NC breweries!
Remember to "Drink Local and Keep Your Beer Dollars in North Carolina."
