Wilmington a Top Ten Beer City

everyone knows about Asheville but quietly little Wilmington NC has developed a great Brew Scene.  A friend of mine owns Port City Brew Bus and takes groups on tours to the breweries in ILM with some behind scenes info and, of course, tasting!  Recently our little retail company hired the brew bus for our Christmas office party and I got the chance to speak with these brewery owners.  Really impressive that they are now getting national recognition!

Side story, when the bus came downtown to pick us up at our hotel the driver clipped a Lexus bumper and ripped it off, so we were delayed until paperwork was complete.  Here is a pic I posted on facebook with the comment,

"The bad news is our company Christmas party brewery tour is delayed because our bus hit a parked car. 
The good news is it belongs to a Green Bay Packers fan"

Here is a short quote from the story, 

7. Wilmington, North Carolina

Wilmington recently welcomed its newest microbrewery to town, with Waterline Brewing Company joining established breweries like Flytrap Brewery and Front Street Brewery. Together, those beer makers rate as some of the best in the U.S. (according to Yelp users). The average Yelp score for Wilmington breweries is 4.44 stars, one the highest scores of the 296 cities that SmartAsset researched.
