Fonta Flora is throwing the inaugural State of Origin festival in Morganton at the city’s Courthouse Square on Saturday, June 14. According to Fonta Flora brewer and co-owner Todd Boera, State of Origin will be a one-of-a-kind festival where local breweries will serve beers made with North Carolina flora and fauna. “We’ll have plenty of beers from across the state featuring everything from local malts and yeast to superunique ingredients, like honeysuckle,” says Boera. Even the food vendors will stick to the theme, with a selection of local pork, brisket and vegetables. The 20 breweries include Burial, Birdsong, Haw River Farmhouse Ales, Hi-Wire, Fullsteam, NoDa, Pisgah, Highland, Catawba and more.
Tickets are available now for $35 via a link at fontaflora.com.
