Brewing is a very social industry, we enjoy conversations with our competitors, helping them, tasting their brews and sharing our experiences. It’s a rather unique industry in that aspect. Last year Sebastian Wolfrum and Brian Quinn were chatting about the need for social opportunities for brewers in the Triangle. Since the end of the Triangle Craft Brewers Alliance and COVID there aren’t as many opportunities to get out and socialize within the industry as much. So they decided to create one. On the 2nd Friday of the month from 11:30-1pm at Epiphany Malt in Durham they are hosting the Maltser Lunch. 

It’s nothing fancy, a hot dog and some great conversations. 

At the inaugural in January had folks from Ponysaurus, BMC, in addition to myself. It was great to tour around and see the updates at Epiphany since my last visit. I’d never had the opportunity to walk inside the malting box so it was a real treat.

I’d suggest anyone attending bring a beer to share, if I’d thought about it in advance I would have brought something, I was just curious to experience it. I look forward to going again soon.
