About
A stroll to the local pub or brewery is a tradition as old as time…
In Collaboration with Taps & Corks Tours:
March is HER-story, or Women’s History Month, and on this tour we will recognize some of the women in the North Carolina brewing industry. The tour in Holly Springs will start at Bombshell Beer Co., the state’s first women-owned brewery, where we’ll sample several beers.
Next, we’ll walk about a mile through downtown Holly Springs to our next brewery, Local Time Brewing, where we’ll sample more beers. Along the way, we’ll stop at two pre-Civil War historic sites and learn more about the history of Holly Springs, with a focus on its women leaders.
Do you know what historical figure said “Hops is a wicked and pernicious weed”? This is one of our beer quiz questions that you’ll hear along the tour. Find out the answer, and you’ll be able to correctly answer at least one of the questions!
Your guide for the afternoon will be Natalie Hampton, founder of Taps & Corks Tours. Natalie has been writing about North Carolina beer and wine for 12 years on the Tarheel Taps & Corks blog. She enjoys sharing her passion for North Carolina beer through walking tours and always looks forward to seasonal beers and ciders!
*Must be 21 to participate. Tour is rain or shine. Wear good shoes for walking and clothing appropriate for the weather.
