Sweets and treats

Wedge releases Vadim Bora: One of the Wedge’s most popular seasonal brews has returned for the winter. Vadim Bora, which honors a local artist and Wedge regular who passed away in 2011, is a raspberry-infused Russian imperial stout. It’s rich, dark, sweet, complex and only available while it lasts (which is usually until February).

New hours at Burial: Burial Beer has fired up its new 10-barrel brewhouse. With more beer than ever before, the brewery is expanding taproom hours. It’s now open 4-10 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 2-10 p.m. Saturdays and noon-8 p.m. Sundays. Sundays will also feature a new jazz brunch, with food from Gary Sernak (Zambra, Admiral) and Josh Dillard (Zambra, Asheville Pizza and Brewing). Food sales start when the brewery opens at noon and end when the food runs out.
