Our Story

Kory Suttles

Born and raised in the hills of Western NC, Kory grew up in the amazingly wonderful town of Morganton, which is the main reason he’s trying to put a store here! After completing high school in Morganton, Kory graduated college in 2009 from UNC Chapel Hill, fully prepared to conquer the world, with odd jobs and living stints everywhere from Seattle to Spain, until eventually settling for a number of years in the beautiful mountain town of Asheville, NC! This is where he first truly discovered BEER…and simply put, everything changed.He began to notice the sub-culture of craft beer enthusiasts that were prevalent in this area. Before long, he took it to the next level, subscribing to various craft beer publications, attending various beer festivals and craft beer appreciation club meetings, and more..
