Foothills Celebrates 10-Years With 4 New Seasonals & Sexual Chocolate on 1/31

Ten years ago this March, Foothills Brewing opened its doors at 638 West Fourth Street in Winston-Salem.

The ensuing decade, both in terms of North Carolina craft beer and those who passionately consume it, has been, to say the least, fun. As the now 120-plus breweries in our state will attest.

It’s been a pretty fantastic ten years — thanks almost entirely to you, Foothills faithful. So as we made plans to celebrate our 10th Anniversary, it should come as no surprise that you’ve been in our thoughts frequently.

Here’s a look at what we have planned for you:

New Seasonal Series

You want an anniversary beer? How about four? We’ve always offered a lot of seasonal beers, but never had a bottled quarterly offering. Until now. Starting February 1st, we’ll be releasing a seasonal six-pack every three months, starting with Pilot Mountain Pale Ale. While its been a core brand for us for several years, we’ve never bottled Pilot Mountain until this month. That will be followed by a brand new session IPA in the summer, our Oktoberfest in the fall, and a black IPA in the winter.

Oh and all our bottlecaps will soon look like this for the whole year:

Sexual Chocolate

Our 10-year anniversary edition of Sexual Chocolate is scheduled for release January 31, 2015, with the annual "Pre-Sex" bottle share party scheduled for Friday evening January 30th.We might have a few anniversary surprises for you this year as well. Sexual Chocolate chocolates, anyone?

The Decade Parade

What’s a birthday without a party? Or 16. Starting this month in Charleston, we’re holding 16 parties throughout the region, culminating in our new tap room’s Grand Opening party sometime in April or May (more on that below). The cities we’ll be hitting include:
Asheville NC
Charlotte NC
Greensboro NC
Raleigh NC
Durham NC
Wilmington NC
Winston-Salem NC
Knoxville TN
Greenville SC
Columbia SC
Charleston SC
Roanoke VA
Richmond VA
Norfolk VA
Arlington VA
Washington DC
Soon as we have a full list of dates and locations, we’ll let you know.

Foothills Tasting Room

We broke ground December 14th at our production brewery (3800 Kimwell Drive in Winston-Salem) on a 32-tap tasting room. It’ll be spacious, open-air, and offer plenty of fun stuff to do while you down a pint or two. It won’t have a kitchen but we might be able to find a few food trucks to hang out with us on a regular basis. What it will have is live music, a run club, and tours of our brewing facility. We’re shooting for a soft opening sometime in late April, with a blowout grand opening party to follow shortly after that.
