Brewing in the Blue Ridge
Over the past two hundred years, Western North Carolina has evolved from a mountainous frontier known for illicit moonshine production into a renowned destination for craft beer. Follow its story from the wild days of saloons and the first breweries of the 1870ss though one of the longest Prohibitions in the nation. Eventually a few bold entrepreneurs started the first modern breweries in Asheville, and formerly dry towns and counties throughout the regions started to embrace the industry. The business of beer attracts jobs, tourists and dollars, as well as mixed emotions, legal conundrums and entrepreneurial challenges. Join award-winning beer writer Anne Fitten Glenn as she narrates the storied history of brewing in Western North Carolina.
