Author of Asheville Beer: An intoxicating History of Mountain Brewing, Anne Fitten Glenn will be at The Fountainhead Bookstore on Saturday, 9/12 at 3:00 pm. She’ll talk about her book and the beer explosion in Western North Carolina.
Whether it be moonshine or craft beer, the culture of local hooch is deeply ingrained in the mountain dwellers of Western North Carolina. Both residents and visitors alike enjoy Asheville’s wealth of breweries, brewpubs, beer festivals and dedicated retailers. That enthusiasm earned the city the coveted Beer City, USA title year after year and prompted West Coast beer giants Sierra Nevada, New Belgium and Oskar Blues to establish production facilities here. Beer writer and educator Anne Fitten Glenn recounts this intoxicating history, from the suds-soaked saloons of “Hell’s Half Acre” to the region’s explosion into a beer Mecca.
Glenn is also the Beer Communicatrix for Oskar Blues, and is frequently referred to as the Beer Goddess. Her popular Twitter feed is @brewgasm.
This event will be held in the upstairs of the Fountainhead Bookstore. Light Refreshments will be served. Tickets are $5 and act as a $5 coupon towards the book. Space is limited. For more details, visit The Fountainhead Bookstore.
