Since we opened almost five months ago, we have always been intently focused on the quality of our beer. This obsession has already paid off: AMB took two gold medals at the U.S. Beer Open in Atlanta, Georgia. This year 2500 different beers competed in categories from English Summer Ale to Root Beer to Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. AMB took the gold in the Golden or Blonde Ale category with the Honey Badger and in the German Alt category for the Crooked Common.
Congratulations to all of the other winners at the Open. The craft brew revolution is rolling along, and everyone at AMB is excited for how this early recognition will help us to grow and continue to give back to our community.
We had a great time and raised a lot of money for the F.A.R.M Cafe. We'd like to thank everyone who came out, enjoyed some beer can chicken, and supported a good cause. Community is defined by those of us who participate in the process and today the community did just that.
Bring your friends and family out tomorrow, Saturday June 29th to AMB! Beer Can Chickens, Live music with Adam Church and Luke Combs. What could be better? ALL food donations will go to support the Farm Cafe!
Great Weekend in the High Country, come out today and see what were about, Cheers!!
As we've said many times before, AMB is all about connecting with and supporting the community. To this end, we celebrated the first annual New River Festival at the brewery last weekend. It was a huge success and the atmosphere felt more like a neighborhood block party than a brewery tasting room! There were live performances from Keith Stroud, Anna Barnett, and the New River Boys, all performing throughout the day and well into the night. We grilled out as well, serving chicken wings, ribs, and veggie burgers, all of which benefits the Watauga River Partners and the National Committee for the New River. Giant Jenga also made it's debut at the brewery, and it has instantly become a classic. In the end we raised over $600 for our non-profit partners, helping to protect the New River and all of its tributaries, including the two creeks that run next to the brewery.
