Back on site again this week as we sit down with Todd Boerra co-founder of Fonta Flora Brewing in Morganton, NC.  We had Todd early in the days of Cheers Charlotte so we thought it was time to have him on again.  A lot has changed since that first episode so we needed an update.  We talked about his two other locations, what has changed for Fonta Flora, and what beers styles he has taken to brewing.
