Some may have seen the NatGeo program on the history of beer from its invention to today. At one point the US had nearly 300 major breweries including 4 right here in Wilmington. That number declined to 80 breweries in 1980 when mini-breweries and brew pubs began a renewal of beer brewing and a major change in the marketplace.

Why not try to see if the Turners could begin a small beer brewing system in the club? ( We believe anyone can brew up to 500 gallons without special permits or legal approval. Although we need to check on this.) IF we get the recipe and process right, a Turners brew pub could be a future pathway. More information to follow…
