Inaugural Charlotte Craft Beer Week
Sarah was kind enough to let me write a guest post on one of my favorite subjects. That would beer.
March 18 (that gives you a full day to recover from St. Patty's Day) marks the beginning of what promises to be one of the most exciting weeks of the year (that it also marks the start of the NCAA basketball tournament is just gravy) -- Charlotte Craft Beer Week.
Really, this is important on so many levels. One, that Charlotte is finally at a point to offer a beer week that has nothing to do with Bud Light. Also, this, from the press release: "The goal behind Charlotte Craft Beer Week is to celebrate a new golden age of beer in the Queen City."
Mmmm. Golden age of beer.
Also cool: Charlotte Craft Beer Week lasts eleven days. As long as it is about beer, that is my kind of week.
OK, enough preamble. The schedule will be updated regularly at charlottecraftbeerweek.org. Here is what has been announced so far:
