Did the tour also. I agree it's not like touring a large scale brewhouse, but it is pretty cool and the guy who usually does them is pretty cool and mixes it up with some laughs. The beer is pretty good, especially their Bourbon Barrel Oatmeal Stout, one of my all time favorites.

Due to the numerous folks wanting to get together, we have formed a group called Fayetteville Home Brewers. We aren't an official "club" as of right now, but will see how things go. We meet at the Mash House, on the patio, the second Sat of every month. We do our organizing and general banter...

We meet at the mash house once a month. I'm trying to set the pattern of the second saturday of every month. We meet at noon on the patio. Last time I believe we had 8-9 folks show up. A local "get out and do stuff" group in fayetteville has contacted us and requested a how to home brew demo...

I just broke down and bought all the stuff. I do appreciate it. BTW, if your in fayetteville area, check out the local brew group Fayetteville Home Brewers

Update on the FB part. Originally I did a FB page, and was recommended that we did a group, so now we have both, but will use the group primarily. Especially on our monthly meets. Next one is already on the calendar. If your a brewer or thinking about brewing, come and join us.

We had a good time. The manager overheard the home brew talk and they offered us a tour. So after we BSed for awhile over a few beers we walked to the back to see their small brew set up. The brewmaster was a great host talking about how he started out a home brewer too. If we get and stay...

Yea, I figured mash house has a pretty good line up of beers and micro trumps factory beer any day. We'll talk about the FB thing tomorrow, it's something Cory suggested that I shot from the hip on while at work. Looking forward to meeting some folks. I'll be bringing some of my brews if anyone...

if any are interested in organizing via FB https://www.facebook.com/FayettevilleBrewers

I meant carolina ale house, but mash house is good too. I just want to make sure people are going to show up and I wont be the only one.

When gearing up for the switch to all grain, you tell your wife "we need a new cooler, the plug somehow came out the old one and has a pipe in it" "Look hun, a turkey fryer"..."no we need at least a 10 gallon one"..."I don't know why, we just do" And you make regular trips to goodwill...

At first, I went up a bit. I'd say the first 2-3 batches as I was eager to try and offer one to every visitor. Now I'd say I am back to normal. I usually have one a night once the kids and wife are settled into bed. Then on weekends I have a few. I'd say the consumption hasn't gone up, but my...

I went Primal Blueprint lifestyle, which has slight differences and allows for dairy, but decided right from the beginning that there will be some "cheat" items that I had to be realistic about or else I would never stick with it. Beer is one of the few things that I just ignore about not being...

The guy who usually does the tours is good at mixing part humor and part facts. And when there is the occasional drunken frat boy, he does a great job at keeping them under control. We can;t wait to go back. They have a smokehouse up the road with awesome food too.

Nevermind, got most the stuff I need! Thanks. ************************* I know this is more for local meets and such, but I just wanted to target locals guys. I'm going to start gathering items to go all grain, so if you have anything you want to sell let me know. Right now all I have is a...

Wife and I went, it was great. Overall the package deal wasn't that great of a deal. The tours are free, so your getting a lsight discount on a couple pint glasses and 8 cans of beer. They have an awesome bourbon barrel stout that is a must have if you ever find yourself in the area.
