Who doesn’t like beer and bbq? We certainly do! Our two guests this week make it their life goal to bring Charlotte the best of craft beer and bbq in one single spot. Joey and Nick Abate are the organizers of the Hops and Hogs Festival. Be sure to check out this year’s festival happening September 4th and 5th at the Park Expo in Charlotte. Listen in to get a preview of what you can expect then get your tickets HERE. 

A real bonus for us this week was being able to record on location at High Branch Brewing’s new location. We sat down with head brewer and founder TJ Creighton to talk about this new chapter in the brewery’s story. Check out the new space yourself by directing your GPS to 305 McGill Ave NW #100, Concord, NC 28027.

Special thanks to our awesome sponsors: Queen City Podcast Network, Hopped Up Network,  Southern Strain Brewing, and Sublmnl Design.
