I don't know if anyone who lives in the area has ever gone but it's always a ton of fun. It's this Saturday.

Road Trips for Beer has the event in it's top 10 national stops for beer over the summer.

Some of the best beer in the nation is being brewed in North Carolina, and this Labor Day Weekend beer festival offers a great opportunity to try some. The picturesque college town, home to Appalachian State University, is tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains at an elevation of more than 3,300 feet, so the weather should be great. Fifty-seven craft breweries represented last year, and organizers expect even more this year. There also will be live music and educational seminars.

There's live bands and regional chefs do food and beer pairing (at no extra charge, first come first serve though) seminars inside the Broyhill banquet halls while the festival is outside on the grounds.

I've been every year and even though I don't live in the area anymore I travel from the coast because it's an event I just can't miss.

Did I mention that this helps to support the Ivory Tower brewery?

The Ivory Tower Brewery is situated on the campus of Appalachian State University in the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center in historic Boone, North Carolina. It is the first craft brewery on a state owned college campus since the time of prohibition.

We are a non-profit, educational, and "green" brewery that is completely faculty and student run and managed. We offer courses focused on the history, science, and business of beer and brewing during which students conduct research while brewing different styles of beer.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
