Fonta Flora Brewing is in the northern tip of Morganton, North Carolina and specializes in belgian inspired beers.

We are back with episode 26 and joined by a somebody we meet through this podcast, our buddy Diego! This episode is a little different in that we are showcasing a brewery that isn't quite local to us, but it's in New Mexico. Three Rivers Brewery is in Farmington, NM and also doubles as a distillery. We were excited to give these guys a try and they graciously brought us down quite a few brews to review. Considering this was a New Mexican brewery, we decided not to do a local spotlight for this episode.

Beer Line-up: Common - Dark Lager, Merica - Pale Ale, The Revisionist - IPA, Sky High - IPA, Black Lily - Barrel Aged Stout (Bourbon Barrel and Peanut Butter - 20th Anniversary), and Black Lily - Barrel Aged Stout (Rum Barrel and Coconut - 20th Anniversary), all by Three Rivers Brewery.
