More North Carolina breweries are set to open in 2011! Here is a around up of who to keep an eye out for in the new year!
Billy Goat Brewing
Set to open in Spring 2011 in a soon to be scouted Triangle location, Billy Goat boasts 5 beer styles on their web page and is now raising money from it’s membership program. Mo Mercado explained: “we are selling 45 shares/memberships of our brewery to raise capital at $5K each. The way it works, these memberships work much like stocks granting the holder part ownership of the brewery and yielding annual dividends.”
Backed up by an award winning home brewer, Billy Goat hopes for commercial success in the new year. Find out more and how you can contribute at their website: billygoatbrewingco.com
Liquid Loaf Brewing
Adam Eckhardt tells me that they are looking for downtown Raleigh location and already have come up with a line up of brews: “We hopefully will be located in the warehouse district. At first we will have three full time beers, a dry hopped rye pale ale (Rickshaw Rye), a large American brown (Big Brown Couch), and a funky Belgian style saison (Name to be determined) that will be on tap at the brewery and for wholesale customers.”
The ability to experiment is key to happiness with any brewer and Adam is no exception: “We will have a rotating cast of beers available at the tap room and for select wholesale customers. These will include season specific beers, Oktoberfest, imperial stouts, sour beers, barrel aged beers (not just Bourbon barrels!) local ingredient beers, exotic ingredient beers…”

Ivory Tower Brewery
Winston Salem Journal reports that Appalachian State University “brewery class” will go legit and offer their beers for public sale:
Ivory Tower Brewery, in the basement of the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, is a small nonprofit brewery operated by university professors who taught an honors class in beer brewing to 12 students last spring.
The class covered the chemical, biological and production process of brewing malted beverages, including the science of how to combine hops, malt and yeast to produce styles and flavors of beer.
Since that beer was used for research and educational purposes by a university, it was legal. But selling beer is another matter.
“The university is authorized to sell products that are incidental to instructional and laboratory work already,” said Dayton Cole, ASU’s attorney. “But because alcoholic beverages are so heavily regulated, we need to get permits.”

Thirsty Monk Brewing in 2011
Tony Kiss reported this week that Asheville beer bar, Thirsty Monk, will produce their own line of beers at their Henderson Road Location.
Brewing equipment will be installed in February; look for the first beers to come in April, he said. The Monk’s Southside location was picked over the downtown pub because it was easier to retrofit the building. But the beers will be served at both Monk pubs.
Even before the new brewery opens, the downtown Monk is getting a dozen new beer taps, all reserved for North Carolina and local selections. The two new downstairs taps will feature Belgian-style beers made in North Carolina, Bialik said.
