Olde Hickory Brewery Latest News and Events

We're bottling...

admin — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:58:07 +0000

The last couple of days we've been bottling Christmas Ale. We should wrap up that (at least the first batch!) early next week and then it'll head out either late next week or early the week after- i.e. the week of Thanksgiving.

And THEN, FINALLY, we'll be ready to bottle The Event Horizon! I know, I know, but good things take time and the brew master just decided that this year's batch is ready. Quantities will be limited, but not as limited as Olde Rabbit's Foot and it will be distributed throughout our normal area.

Olde Rabbit's Foot 12/8/2012

admin — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:22:47 +0000

Olde Rabbit's Foot, the bourbon-barrel aged imperial stout collaboration between Olde Hickory Brewery, Duck Rabbit Craft Brewery and Foothills Brewing, will be released at Foothills Brewing at 10am, Saturday December 8th.

4 bottle limit per person.

This is your chance to get the 2012 ORF, and of course a great time is had by everyone at Foothills after the sales are complete. Always a great selection on tap, and it's the perfect opportunity to talk beer with like-minded folks!

Cheers!

Festivals!

admin — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:03:42 +0000

It's going to be a great weekend! First, there's this little event you may have heard of out in Denver, Colorado. The Great American Beer Festival, probably just as well known by its twitter hastag, #GABF. We sent our Oktoberfest, Imperial Stout, Irish Walker, The Event Horizon and Death by Hops to the tasting floor, and the winner of the 2012 Olde Hickory Pro Am, B's Nuts, to the Pro Am area. If you're part of the lucky crowd at one of the sessions stop by our booth and give one (or all) a try!

And it's also our local Oktoberfest, organized by the Hickory Downtown Development Association. It's a fantastic local festival with fun for both kids and adults. Of course you can find Olde Hickory beer in the beer tents. It's one of our favorite events and it's always great to see not only Hickory residents but people from throughout the region enjoying our hometown and a weekend of fun.

Cheers!

Upcoming releases...

Lindley Park - our barrel-aged imperial stout brewed with honey and raspberries - will return in early October.

[Update 10/2/2012] Lindley Park is currently being delivered, and is already on tap in several locations!

The Event Horizon (2012) is still hanging out the bourbon barrels, doing its thing. Should be ready sometime in November. And our Christmas Ale will also be released sometime in early November.

Cheers!

Growlers Koozies and Oktoberfest! Completely unrelated topics!

admin — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 17:57:36 +0000

Olde Hickory growler koozies are now available at the Olde Hickory Tap Room and Amos Howards Brew Works (both in Hickory, NC). Featuring velcro closure and carrying strap these are perfect for keeping growler chilled and just making them easier to carry.

Not a great image - the color is actually a slightly deeper green, but you get the idea.

And judging by untappd checkins and twitter comments many people already know Olde Hickory's Oktoberfest has been released. Thanks for all the great support and feedback! We brewed 2 batches, but retailers have been ordering like crazy, so get it while you can.

Cheers!

Twin City Taps venue change

admin — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:39:56 +0000

We had a great time at the first Twin City Taps festival last year and are on board again this year! Everyone who came out was very supportive of Olde Hickory and gave great feedback. We really appreciate you guys. Plus the festival benefits the NC Brewers Guild, which works hard to promote our industry and educate and liaise with government officials to simplify life for both consumers and producers.

There has been a recent change to the festival. The date is still the same- Aug. 11th- as is the time- 12pm-6pm- but the location has moved to Ziggy's at 170 W. 9th Street in Downtown Winston-Salem. Still a ton of great breweries & live music.

You can find out more about the festival on their website www.twincitytaps.com, including great directions to the new venue.

Cheers!

Y U No Post?!?

admin — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:35:17 +0000

Tired of waiting for blog posts here? Inspiration is fleeting and time... It's probably better spent brewing beer than ~~writting~~ writing posts. But we're all over the internet leaving crumbs of news (some little, some big) and general info for you guys.

We've been on Facebook (www.facebook.com/OldeHickoryBrewery) and Twitter (we're @OldeHickory or go to www.twitter.com/OldeHickory)for awhile. But you may not know we recently joined Google+ and are now on Pinterest as well. Just search for "Olde Hickory Brewery" on either of those sites and you're sure to find us.

And of course you can find a lot of user generated content about us and our beers on various sites like, (In no particular order! These are just a few sites! Lots of excellent sites out there!) untappd.com, beeradvocate.com, ratebeer.com.

Thanks again for all your support and interest in Olde Hickory and our beers!
