Mountain Spirits: Wine and Beer Tastings for the Week of 9-22-2016

***September is NC Wine Month ***

September 22, 2016 - Heinzelmannchen Brewery, 545 Mill Street in Sylva NC - Live Music with Henry Wong, 6 PM - 8 PM.  

WUNDERBAR WEDNESDAYS - Every Wednesday they offer Traditional Growler fills in our Gnomler (1/2 gallon) or German Growlers for only $10 (Save $2 per fill) – it's Wunderbar!


September 23, 2016 at Brusin' Ales, 66 Broadway Street in downtown Asheville NC    Friday Benefit Pints for Prostates with Olde Hickory - 5 PM to 7 PM. In addition to the tasting
there will be  a raffle for a unique, Wavell Gunn & Dread God collector's set from Olde Hickory. Tickets for this event will be $5 and all proceeds benefit Pints for Prostates.

Table Rock Pale Ale "... brewed using the finest two row barley malts, with generous amounts of crystal and caramel malts yielding a deep copper color and rich malt body... dominated by Cascade hops, averaging a whopping 3 grams of hops per pint!"

Hickory Stick Stout   "English pale and crystal malts start this beer quickly followed by big time chocolate and black patent malts. Tons of Cascade hops go into Hickory Stick Stout to round out the malt character.

Cubano Walker  ... a cigar inspired version of our award-wining Irish Walker Barleywine. Aged on Spanish cedar, it has a slightly resinous finish with a hint of spice. It is conditioned with nitrogen to create a smooth, creamy draw and the classic cascading head.

Wavell Gunn    The beer is rich with caramel malt sweetness tamed by a mild earthiness. Subtle peat smoke, salty sea air, and whisky heat imparted from aging in scotch barrels provide Wavell Gunn with its resemblance to a fine scotch.

Lindley Park (2016 & 2015)   An imperial stout brewed with honey and raspberries, then aged in bourbon barrels. Pure bliss.  We'll tap a special Vintage Keg of Lindley Park for this event!

Grandfather Mountain Kidfest Theme Inspired by Pokémon GO

September 10, 2016   KidFest at Grandfather Mountain    A day designed to get kids excited about the nature and culture of the North Carolina Mountains through fun and entertaining activities. Guided hikes, games, storytellers, music and fun. The events are free with park admission.

“KidFest is Grandfather's annual event to showcase the park’s natural wonders to our younger visitors,” said Mickey Shortt, director of education and natural resources for the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, the nonprofit organization that oversees the Linville NC travel attraction and nature preserve. 


This year’s theme is “Grandfather GO,” inspired by the popular mobile video game, “Pokémon GO,” in which players must use their handheld device to “capture” simulated creatures.  In “Grandfather GO,” however, young participants will focus on finding the real deal in a park-wide scavenger hunt. “The purpose of the scavenger hunt is to get kids thinking about wildlife on Grandfather Mountain, particularly that which is unique to the mountain,” Grandfather Mountain education specialist Amy Renfranz said.

Running from 11 AM to 4 PM, “Grandfather GO” will feature a series of stations located throughout the mountain, which participants can find using a map they’re given at arrival.

Find complete details at the website.
