The Beer News

Here are this week’s beer news and events happening in and around Charlotte, NC area.

• Wednesday, April 11th The Unknown Brewery Co. Tap Takeover. Vinter’s Hill Bean to Vine Café. 6 pm-9 pm. he Unknown Brewing Co story:
  At The Unknown Brewing Company, we are more than just a name. A name does not mean you make good beer, and good beer does not have to have a name.
  Our job is to stand out. We are the open road with no destination. We are your first kiss or your last time jumping out of an airplane,
  or whatever your wildest adventure is. We are The Unknown.
  So if you need us to have a name, make one up. If you make one up we prefer you call us something with adventure, or America, or dragons or something epic.
  That would be awesome. All we know is that we are good people whose mission is to make really great beer and have fun doing it.
  So our call to you………. Step into the Unknown.
  Come on out and taste some of their fabulous beers:
  Ginger Wheat, Over The Edge American IPA, and Pre Game Pilsner
