Our next stop was Apple Blossom Brewing Company, which also serves food. The place was packed. Brewmaster Nathan Traw showed us around the brewery and served us a few beers. The beers were as tasty as the cheese fries. Apple Blossom has plans for expansion with more tanks, and I can see why. With crowds like that it would be hard to keep up with demand.

After a good night’s sleep, we visited the farmers market on the main square of downtown Fayetteville. The market was full of vendors selling flowers, vegetables and an incredible goat cheese. Apple Blossom Brewing Co. was there selling bread made from the spent grain used in its beers.

The next brewery was right on the square — West Mountain Brewing — and it shares space with Tiny Tim Pizza. Brewmaster Will Gallaspy has a hard job keeping up with the demand due to the limited space for brewing there. With only two tanks, he keeps busy.
