Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Where's the free beer?

Bottling assembly line was quiet.  Have to take the tour M-Th to see it in action.
Packing area also was quiet on a Sunday.

Yes, hospitality time!
That cup is full of hops, which one of the guests decided to take home with her.

Big glasses for just sips of Pale Ale.

As we left I looked at all those stainless steel vats on top of the roof.

...a rain barrell, made from wood which was felled on site.  It will actually hold some of the water recycled from parking lot drainage for grey water use.

In about a year the whole plant should be finished, with restaurant open and gift shop.  I would like to return to see the bottling aspect.
