BEER. 'Nuff said.

There's a lot to like about Spring.  The flowers, the warmer temperatures, the beer.....

In case you haven't noticed, North Carolina is now one of the top craft beer states in the nation - both in production and..mmmm...consumption.  If you want to get a glimpse of the scene, check out "North Carolina Craft Beer and Breweries" by Erik Lars Myers, who I got to interview when I guest co-hosted "My Carolina Today" this week on NBC-17.
