Old Orchard Creek Blueberry Sour Ale is a joint effort between Appalachian Mountain Brewery (AMB) and Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC), a local nonprofit dedicated to protecting land and water resources in Northwest North Carolina. This will be the second beer in the series of “CollaBREWation” with AMB and BRC.
Blue Ridge Conservancy received a generous donation of a conservation easement protecting 186 acres in Alleghany County. Landowner Marvin Mann contacted BRC with interest in conserving his farmland used for agriculture, forestry, and recreational hunting. The land is located adjacent to Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
“I enjoy the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains; my goal is to preserve the beauty of this property through the ages for the enjoyment of numerable people forever and for the benefit of wildlife,” said Mann.
