For many the Fall season signals a time to eat. A perfect time for OVER 60 Regional RESTAURANTS, CRAFT BREWERIES, AND COCKTAIL BARS OFFERING SPECIALS to host a Chef and Restaurant Worker Appreciation Event in collaboration with several organizations. The culinary event kicks off Monday, October 23, as Eat Drink Triad and Duke’s Mayo will host Eat. Drink.

Beverage specials will include paying homage to the classic domestic style lagers we know and love, crisp, light-bodied, and clean with a very dry finish, it’s similar to your favorites domestic … but different {Goose and the Monkey Brewhouse}. Across the way, Bull City Ciderworks will feature Oh Honey! Maker’s Mark, house made cinnamon simple syrup, topped with Sweet Carolina honey-apple hard cider.

It brings attention to our industry and it is a great way to meet and participate with industry peers., “said co-owner Amy Brauer. “There is a lot that goes into and It is an awesome event they put on for us. We couldn’t be more appreciative.”
