1pm-7pmSaturday,
April 17th is set for this year’s Hickory Hops beer festival. Staged on Union Square in downtown Hickory, the 8th annual outdoor beer festival is organized by Hickory Downtown Development Association and hosted by Olde Hickory Brewery. It offers plenty for everyone, from inexperienced beer novices to hardened beer fest veterans anxious for something unusual. Pouring for six hours, beginning at 1:00, live music will be presented, rain or shine. Food is available from downtown restaurants during the festival. Brewers sell t-shirts, pint glasses, mugs and a sundry of other breweriana.
While the economy in general is lackluster, the Southern craft brewed beer business is bustling with excitement. We’ve added new regional brewers every year and this year will be no different.

Great small festival in lovely downtown Hickory. A bit tightly packed, but great attendance by local brewers, many of them bringing out special batches. Awesome to see first time festival appearance by Four Brothers as well.
