BERN

There is no doubt that craft brewing is on the rise in North Carolina, though it may be surprising just how much the industry has grown over the past several years. North Carolina ranks in the top 10 states in the country when it comes to the amount of breweries, and the state holds the title for the most breweries in the South with more than 100. That statistic isn’t likely to drop with the more than 20 new breweries and brew pubs on tap to open in 2014 and with the addition of fermentation science programs and brewing labs at several colleges across the state, including Appalachian State University and NC State University.

While most are familiar with the major brewers of the Triangle like Big Boss Brewing Company and Natty Greene’s Pub and Brewing Company, New Bern has its very own brewery just outside the county line.

Beer Army Combat Brewery, based in Trenton, operates the Beer Army Outpost in New Bern and annually hosts the Brew Bern Beer Fest at the Riverfront Convention Center. This year’s festival is scheduled for Saturday, June 28.

The festival was started by Dustin Canestorp, an active duty marine and avid beer enthusiast. During his last tour in Iraq in 2007, his interpreter mentioned that he hoped to move to the states to pursue his American Dream. At that point, Canestorp realized he wanted to do the same, and that his dream included beer. Three years later, the first Brew Bern Beer Festival was held with 2-3,000 attendees.

Scott Andrews, public affairs officer for Beer Army, said the first festival was a success. “We were trying to create a craft beer buzz in Eastern North Carolina, and that seemed the best way to do it.

And now we’re on our fifth year of festivals. After that, we decided to open up a store so that people could come and buy it out here,” he said.

Brew Bern Beer Fest places an emphasis on local and regional breweries, and in North Carolina that’s not a difficult task. With the addition of the Beer Army Outpost in 2012, citizens were able to pick up craft beers that have been featured in the festivals all year round in New Bern. The next step for Beer Army and its general was to open a brewery and start making their own beer.

“We always wanted to open up our own brewery, so on April 19, 2013, we cut the ribbon on the brewery here,” said Andrews.

“We started out not producing one beer for a single account in North Carolina, and now we have 200 accounts, beer in all different keg sizes, and we just started a new bottling line.”

Aside from the beer, the festivals have always been about giving to charity. With the expansion of its brewing operations, Beer Army has also been able to expand its charitable endeavors. This year, the Beer Army’s own charitable foundation, Beer Army Vigilant Guardian Foundation, was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The festivals will now be run by the Vigilant Guardian Foundation and 100 percent of the proceeds go to charity.

Jeff Brungard, brewer for Beer Army Combat Brewery But the Army’s philanthropy doesn’t stop there. Andrews said once a month at the outpost, the Beer Army chooses a charity to sponsor. On the first Friday of the month, the outpost donates $1 for every beer sold throughout the day.

“To date, we have donated more than $85,000 to charity. Some of those charities being the Museum of the Marine, the Wounded Warriors, Merci Clinic, New Bern Breakfast Rotary Club, CCHC, any place we can find that’s a nonprofit, we love to help them out,” he continued.

Brew Bern Beer Fest Returns for Fifth Year He also said that the foundation is going to develop a full-ride scholarship program for the next craft brewer out of Eastern North Carolina.

This year’s festival boasts 180 different beers to taste from more than 60 breweries. Some of the breweries in attendance this year include Ballast Point, Mother Earth, Red Oak, Lagunitas and, of course, Beer Army Combat Brewery. The festival includes food by Moore’s BBQ and live music by Nashville recording artist Bryan Mayer.

There is one tasting session with three different ticket options.

VIP tickets grant admission from 1-6pm and cost $40 prior to June 7 and $50 after. General admission tickets give visitors access from 2:30-6pm and cost $25 before June 7 and $35 after. The Designated Driver ticket is $10 and allows admission from 1-6pm with no beer tasting. Both tasting tickets include unlimited sampling of all beers.

All proceeds from the festival go to support the Vigilant Guardian Foundation and the Museum of the Marine. Tickets can be purchased online at beerarmy.com or at the Beer Army Outpost.

EXPLORE oriental The town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River. Oriental earned its name from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster is said to have seen the transom of the vessel displayed years later at a home in Manteo and found it to be the ideal name for their little waterside hamlet.

In Oriental, boats outnumber people nearly three to one. Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history, they define it. Labeled the Sailing Capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5-6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway.

While it’s best known as homeport to some of the East Coast’s finest sailing, Oriental also offers exceptional opportunities for cycling, paddling, hunting, golfing and a number of other activities. Most importantly, Oriental offers friendly, small-town charm.

The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, just 10 miles from Oriental, making it accessible to points east and west.

EXPLORE havelock Havelock can be found nestled on Hwy 70 between historic New Bern and the beaches of the Crystal Coast. The town has a rich military history and is currently home to the largest Marine Corps air station in the world, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

When the North Carolina and Atlantic railroads came to a crossroads in 1858, the depot was named for Sir Henry Havelock, a British general who had gained popularity at the time for rescuing hostages during a bloody uprising in India.

The city’s military history continued as it became an important Union foothold in the capture of New Bern and Fort Macon during the Civil War. The production of naval materials including tar and turpentine were important to the town’s early economy until the invention of the steam engine.

The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point. Havelock’s population boomed and with it came economic prosperity for local businesses. Since then, Havelock has enjoyed a strong relationship with Cherry Point and those who serve on the base, which is one of the largest employers of both Craven and neighboring Carteret County.

EXPLORE new bern

Located where the Trent and Neuse rivers meet, the City of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to colonial times. From art galleries to theaters and music venues to the NC History Center, this city has plenty of options when it comes to learning and experiencing new things.

In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern as the second-oldest town in North Carolina, naming the city after Bern, the Swiss capital. The bear proudly displayed throughout the city comes from the Swiss city’s name, taken from the German word “bären,” or “bears.”

Tryon Palace, New Bern’s most popular historic landmark, was completed in 1770 as the British colonial government house. After the Revolution, it was used as the first state capitol of newly independent North Carolina. The palace has hosted many famous people, including George Washington.

Aside from the palace, New Bern contains more than 160 historic landmarks and four historic districts. Homes, stores and churches in the districts date back to the early eighteenth century. New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Caleb Bradham, who mixed a syrup of coca, kola nut extracts and rare oils with carbonated water to create the fizzy beverage known today as Pepsi-Cola.

The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and inns making this area a hub of activity. With outdoor events at Union Point Park, historic exhibits at the NC History Center, the bi-weekly farmers market and events celebrating local and regional artists such as ArtWalk and ARTcrawl, there’s always plenty for visitors and locals to explore.

This month, Fine Art at Baxters presents “Eastern Coastal Views,” a body of works by landscape painters featuring pieces by Barbara Hesketh, Nancy Noel May, Jane Faudree and Karen Crenshaw. The exhibit is on display from June 6 to July 6.

Painting landscapes in oil has become a main focus for Hesketh, with an interest in beach scenes, skyscapes and seascapes.

The coastal influences of color and scenery have been with May from the start, having grown up in a small coastal community on the Chesapeake Bay. Clear, vibrant colors and a strong source of light are the prime elements of her paintings. Faudree has developed a style of painting that is influenced by her infatuation with the American and French impressionists. She paints almost entirely in oils, with a palette knife more often than brushes. Crenshaw is fascinated with open spaces and vast water vistas. Her palette shows the influence of the impressionists with her use of high-keyed hues.

Fine Art at Baxters Gallery is located at 323 Pollock St. and is open from 10am-6pm Monday through Friday, and 10am-5pm on Saturday. For more information, call at 252-634-9002 or visit www.fineartatbaxters.com.

Garden Gate June

Gardening

It’s June so among other things we can assume that the last frost is really behind us at this point. In early April, it wasn’t clear if we were ever going to get out of the woods weather-wise. Obviously there’s a lot happening this time of year, so we’ll try to touch on just a few points of interest.

First, it’s finally time to fertilize centipedegrass. We encourage homeowners to wait until at least late May or early June because fertilizing too early is bad for centipedegrass (encourages large patch disease, for one thing) and bad for the environment (much greater loss of nitrogen to the environment since the root system isn’t yet up to speed). As to what fertilizer to use, that should be decided according to soil test information. Try to finish fertilization on centipedegrass by late July, since late season fertilization makes this lawn more vulnerable to cold damage later on.

Division of perennials is another task that could occur in June or afterwards. If you happen to still have some visible but rapidly fading daffodil foliage in an overgrown planting, now is a convenient time to locate and separate some of the bulbs for planting elsewhere. Plant these bulbs around 8 inches deep in a well drained site that isn’t receiving all-day full sun, but rather partial shade or shade for the hottest part of the day. Daffodil plantings can eventually become so overcrowded that flowering is compromised. Besides that, it’s always nice to see new daffodils getting established elsewhere

on the property.

Daylilies could also be divided after flowering is finished. Late summer or early fall is a typical recommendation, but daylilies are quite adaptable and dividing earlier shouldn’t be a problem. Daylilies flower best in full sun, so locate them in the sunniest areas of your property if possible.

Irises represent a third group of perennials that work best if occasionally divided. According to NC State University, bearded irises generally become crowded and need division after 3-5 years. They can be divided about any time, but many growers prefer 4-6 weeks after flowering is completed. Cut the leaves to one-third their length, dig the clump and wash the soil off with a hose. Cut the rhizomes apart so that each section has at least one healthy fan of leaves and firm, white roots. Set the new rhizomes about 18 inches apart and don’t plant deeply.

Early June is a good time to evaluate the degree of damage some of your shrub species sustained this past winter. Most of us noticed significant damage to oleander, especially in Morehead City and Beaufort where these plants are abundant and the damage was more noticeable. April was far too early to make any reasonable evaluations, but by now we’ve seen a good bit of warm to hot weather and the likely degree of recovery is a lot more obvious.

Sometime in June, if you haven’t already, prune out any obviously dead wood back to the point where green tissue and new buds are evident. We are also seeing damage to gardenias, and any needed clean up or renovation pruning can be done sometime in June after flowering is finished.

Depending on availability, continue to plant summer flowering annuals and vegetables, although with the vegetables you can expect reduced flowering and fruit set heading into the hotter temperatures of summer. Summer flowering annuals to consider, if you haven’t tried them previously, include Blue Daze; zinnias in the Zahara or Profusion series, melampodium, and the white, purple or pink angelonias.
