When last we spoke with Win Bassett, he was but a simple beer blogger like any other Alehead… now he’s the new Director of the North Carolina Brewers Guild with a mandate to spread NC craft beer across our great nation. We talk about how he plans to accomplish this, some exciting new breweries opening in his state like Mystery Brewing and Haw River Farmhouse Ales, and updates to some current beer news events like the impending Sierra Nevada expansion to the greater Asheville area.

Really enjoyed this podcast. It’s a fun time to be down here with the statewide beer community taking off like it is. One thing though.. believe Great Lakes first showed up 2 or 3 years ago, at least in the Charlotte market.
Thanks for listening Gavin… after a little Googling turns out you are correct, the recent Great Lakes launch is for the Raleigh/ Durham area. They’ve been in Charlotte and Greensboro since March of 2010.
