Jackson celebrates NC Beer Month, Ale Trail

art beermonthWhether you enjoy sipping a smooth golden ale, something hoppy or a dark IPA, Jackson County’s craft breweries have you covered for NC Beer Month this April.

North Carolina boasts more breweries and brewpubs than any other state in the Southeast and Jackson County is renewing its commitment to quality local brews during April with events for locals and visitors. 

Not many towns boast walkable brewery tours, but Sylva’s Main Street plays host to three breweries in a scenic one-mile stretch – the Jackson County Ale Trail. 

The ale trail starts at Sneak E Squirrel, winding its way by Mark Watson Park, beside Sylva’s Historic Courthouse, down Sylva’s Historic Main and Mill Streets to Heinzelmännchen, ending at Innovation Brewing. 

Events:

• April 29 — Foothills Brewing Tasting Session at Evolution Wine Kitchen. Pay-at-the-door beer tasting with food specials and giveaways from Foothills Brewing. 

Multiple Dates:

• Throughout April – Pint and a Pie. Throughout April enjoy a pint of beer and an individual size pizza for only $10 at Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company located at the Sapphire National Golf Club.
