Not only is craft beer booming in NC, but the industries supporting craft beer are on the rise as well. Growing hops can be tricky in North Carolina, but NC State University (among others) is actively experimenting. Everyone is invited to take a tour of the farm on July 14th, 2012 from 9am-12pm at the Lake Wheeler Road Laboratory in Raleigh. For more information contact Scott King at Scott_King@ncsu.edu.

Cheers!
