HICKORY HOPS BREW FESITVAL
This weekend Saturday, April 17th the 8th annual Hickory Hops Festival will be on Union Square in downtown Hickory North Carolina.
The outdoor beer festival is organized by Hickory Downtown Development Association and hosted by Olde Hickory Brewery.
The beer festival will offer plenty for everyone from inexperienced beer novices to hardened beer fest veterans anxious for something unusual. Pouring for six hours, beginning at 1:00, live music will be presented, rain or shine. Food is available from downtown restaurants during the festival.
For the 8th year in a row, Hickory is blessed with the presence of breweries from all over the South. In all, over 35 craft breweries are expected, with the vast majority coming from the Tarheel State. Though they vary in size and scope, by their very name, microbreweries are small businesses. The brewers will give their beer away in hopes that fest goers will patronize them in the future.
Through its history, Hickory Hops has become one of the industry's most favored fests. This brewer-friendly event, always one of the first of the spring/summer fest season, brings out the best from regional craft brewers.
