Cape Fear Craft Beer Week starts on Friday, March 23rd when Cape Fear area breweries will go head-to-head in the 2nd annual Ultimate Brewing Championship. This will be the official Cape Fear Craft Beer Week kickoff party.
Brewers from the participating local breweries gathered to select their ingredients for a unique and special brew. How would you feel about a beer made with blueberries and basil? Or sea salt and cucumbers? What about Texas Pete? Each brewery drew for one of the NC ingredient combinations. The results will be kept secret until the event when there will be a blind tasting to crown The Ultimate Brewing Champion on March 23rd.

Join the folks at Fermental as they welcome our brewing friends from the other Carolina, Westbrook Brewing of Mt. Pleasant, SC for an evening of tastings, giveaways,multiple drafts, cans, bottles, live music, food trucks, and more: Saturday March 24th 6pm-10pm
Founded in 2010, by the husband and wife team of Morgan and Edward Westbrook, Westbrook Brewing has a simple mission: to make the most interesting, drinkable, and generally awesome beer possible. They love experimenting with different ingredients and brewing techniques, and are continually setting the stage for modern beer styles.
Well known for their Gose Ales and Barrel Aged beers, Westbrook can be a brewery characterized as innovative. While the brewery does bottle limited release beers, it cans the old stand-by year round offerings, White Thai and IPA. Marked by whimsical yellow and green cans, these beers aren’t your typical canned offerings. Of that much, you can be sure. In a word, Westbrook is unique and not in your eccentric Aunt Betty type of way. It is unique in its offerings, taste profile and their approach to craft beer.
Taste. Sample. Enjoy a pint or a fill a growler.
Take a few home to continue your own beer week celebrations.
Casual. Comfortable. Fermental.
Call 910-821-0362 for details.
An Evening With Westbrook Brewing is part of a continual series of brewery features at Fermental presenting an opportunity to meet brewery staff, ask questions, sample draft selections, enjoy brewery giveaways, food trucks, live music, and more.
