Mill Creek Brewing for Beer Thursday!
This Thursday afternoon, we will have local favorite Mill Creek in the shop to let you sample some of their brews!
From the Brewery:
Less Fuss. More Beer.
The best credentials come in a can—or pint glass if you’re feeling fancy. We could go on all day about what makes our brews shine but we’d much rather pour you one and let it speak for itself. After all, the only thing better than talking about great beer is drinking it.
We will taste:
- Oktoberfest (draft)
- Lil Darlin Citrus Wheat (6pk cans)
Stop in between 4 & 7 pm and find your favorite!

Rua Whiskey & Quinn's Single Barrel Tasting Thursday!
This Thursday, we will have Ollie from Rua & Quinns in the shop to let you sample our Rua & Quinn Single Barrel Whiskeys!
From the distillery:
Founded by Irish native, Oliver “Ollie” Mulligan, Great Wagon Road Distilling Co is the oldest distillery in Charlotte, North Carolina and the first one to have it’s own speakeasy attached. Although Ollie is the first in his family to make legal spirits, three generations ago in the midlands of Ireland, Ollie’s grandfather Patrick Quinn began the family tradition of whiskey making, and in 2013, after a handshake and a few pints with a mate, Ollie Mulligan established Great Wagon Road Distilling Co. to carry on his family tradition of whiskey craftsmanship.
Our purpose at Great Wagon Road Distilling Co. is to continue in this tradition of celebrating passionate independents everywhere. With each meticulous and artfully spirit produced, we seek to provide a spirit worth celebrating the passion and perseverance of both the original Great Wagon Road pioneers and contemporary trailblazers alike.
Stop in between 4 & 7p and give this delicious whiskey a try!

CBD Cocktail Saturday with Spaz!
This Saturday, we're going to have our resident bartender Spaz behind the bar to show you the versatility of CBD and how it can be used in cocktails!
The effect of the intake of CBD infused cocktails varies for different people. But generally, it is one of euphoria without the irking sense of anxiety caused by regular cannabis. CBD (Cannabidiol) is usually known to have a calming effect, relaxing the senses from other physical discomforts.
According to bartenders across the trendiest cities in the country, New York, Los Angeles, Portland – you name it; CBD in cocktails enhances the drinks’ flavor. This supplement is also known to reduce inflammation and anxiety, and that effect extends to cocktails infused with CBD.
Some people who have experimented with CBD cocktails also claim it reduces the negative effects of intoxication, though there isn’t any scientific research to support this yet.
Stop in between 2 & 6p and sample a cocktail!

Sammy's Wine of the Week!
If you've been following us on Instagram, you've seen our featured wine of the week each week. This week's feature is a fun little Italian red.... 2017 Allegrini Valpolicella!
From the Winery:
Ruby red in color, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate whereas some two years on it expresses greater delicacy and finesse.
Stop in and taste it.....if you buy a bottle, we'll give you 10% off!

Food Spotlight!
If you have perused our coolers, you might have noticed 2 new cheeses we carry from Blackberry Farm: Sheep's Milk Pimento Cheese & Brebis!
From the Farm:
Perhaps better than any other product made on the premises, cheese translates the character of this place at a particular point in time. The Blackberry Farm Dairy began in 2004 with the purchase of 12 East Friesian dairy sheep. While our flock has grown to over 60 since then, our focus continues to be producing the finest ewes’ milk cheese possible and doing so in the traditional manner and on a small farmstead scale. Recipes and cheese making techniques have been developed to reflect the qualities unique to this farm, to embody and emote the terroir here in the Appalachian Mountains.
Sheep's Milk Pimento:
The Blackberry Farm Sheep’s Milk Pimento Cheese is a new spin on a southern classic. We have taken our traditional pimento cheese recipe and added in an aged sheep's milk cheese that creates an even more delicious and complex flavor. Creamy in taste and bold in flavor, our Sheep’s Milk Pimento Cheese is sure to be a hit and a new Farm favorite!
Brebis:
Brebis is a fresh sheep’s milk cheese, produced similarly to a Chèvre. It is rich with a supple texture, while being light on the palate. Brebis is well-balanced, making it a very versatile cheese. It is excellent eaten alone, as an accent to any sandwich or when paired with one of our delicious jams.
