Papazian in Asheville
President of the Brewers Association and Founder of the American Homebrewers Association Charlie Papazian will be in Asheville later this month as the keynote speaker for an educational event presented by The North Carolina Brewers Guild and Asheville Brewers Alliance.
A North Carolina cask ale event will take place the night before at Barley’s featuring confirmed casks from Fullsteam, Foothills, Big Boss and Duck Rabbit with more TBA. Coincidence? I think not!
