Fullsteam Brewery
Some guys over in Durham, NC are building a brewery.
They are doing something pretty unique. They have coined the term “southern experimental brewing” and state their mission: “to develop a new genre of beer that reflects the unique Southern confluence of agriculture and industry”
They are still experimenting with recipes (trying out ingredients like scuppernong grapes, sweet potatoes, and rhubarb), so you can’t buy it yet.
Check out their blog. They are currently chronicling their experiments and legal battles with brewing with kudzu!
I imagine there’s not enough lawyers in the entire triangle area to start selling a beer that REALLY reflects North Carolina’s agricultural history… the Tobacco Beer.
