Albert Einstein was once misquoted, "Two things are infinite: the universe and micro breweries; and I'm not sure about the universe." Blowing Rock ales should always be there to enhance your poolside parties and innocuous get-togethers
The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.

In addition, beer cans are graphically rich, and pints o' fun!
Brewer's Exegesis
Our Summer Ale is often compared to a Belgian Witbier, as it is fermented with a Belgian Wit Yeast. The grain bill is domestic pale malt & white wheat. Kettle hopping is done with signature Czech Saaz hops that offer a balanced bitterness. A late kettle addition of orange peel and coriander spice provides the finishing touch for this medium bodied, refreshing ale.
