Featured Brews of The Week!

Stop by this Thursday from 5-7 p.m. to taste some great new brews with our Guest Pourer, Jason Frizzelle.  Jason is a Merchandiser and Craft Beer Specialist  based in Wilmington, NC with Mutual Distributing Company.

He fell in love with Craft/Import beer while visiting Germany two decades ago. After 15 years in journalism Jason turned his passion into a career by immersing himself in the growing craft beer industry of Wilmington, NC.

An avid homebrewer, Jason has brewed collaborations with local breweries while working at PALATE Bottle Shop and Waterline Brewing. Though Jason enjoys the exciting and flavorful craft beers the industry is producing, he remains rooted in the traditional styles he learned to appreciate 20 years ago.
