Carolinas Tour

---

Fly into Charlotte at your convenience and check into the hotel throughout the day. We'll have an optional get-together beer for anyone who's arrived in time in the evening.

After breakfast we'll get started with our First Pitch Lunch at NoDa Brewing, one of the original stars of the Charlotte beer scene. From there, we'll board our private van and head to Spartanburg, SC. We'll get a chance to taste at Rockers Brewing Company before the Hub City Spartanburgers (Rangers) host the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Nationals) in a High-A South Atlantic League match-up.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel on your own timeline before we take the drive up to Asheville, NC, one of the country's top beer cities. We'll arrive in time for lunch at the region's original craft brewer, Highland. While the city continues to recover from Hurricane Helene in August, 2024, schedules are still evolving, but we'll spend the afternoon exploring some of the top local producers. Then, we'll take in a game at the newly-renovated McCormick Field, where the Tourists (Houston) host the Rome Emperors (Atlanta). 

Enjoy a big breakfast before getting some time to explore Asheville on your own before a paired tasting lunch to cap our time in Asheville. Then, we'll make the short drive to Hickory, with a special surprise stop on the way. We'll finish the night as the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Cubs) take on the Hickory Crawdads (Rangers) in Single-A action. 

You'll get a little time at the hotel before we head across the state to the Raleigh-Durham area. You'll enjoy a real culinary and beer feast pairing Asian-inspired food with classic European beer styles at Brewery Bhavana in Raleigh. From there, we head to Crank Arm to taste before we roll back to Durham to catch the Round Rock Express (Rangers) play the host Bulls (Rays) in a Triple-A contest. We'll enjoy a great Carolina dinner at the game. Post-game, we'll walk back to the hotel, with an optional stop for a pint on the way.

After breakfast, get a great start to the day at local favorite Ponysaurus. Then, we''ll bus out to Greensboro and once you've gotten settled in the hotel, we'll take the short walk to Joymongers, who've built a great reputation for quality small-production runs. From there, it's just a quick stroll to the Greensboro Grasshoppers (Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate) who take on their High-A South Atlantic League opponents, Greenville Drive (Red Sox). 

We cap off our week by heading back to Charlotte, which is now home to more than 75 breweries, and we'll enjoy a final beer brunch to cap the week. You're free to fly out any time after 3:00 pm.
