It's North Carolina Beer Month. Let's Talk Beer.

Over the last month or so my husband has jumped full steam ahead into a new hobby.

Home-brewing. Is that one word, or two? Home brewing. Brewing beer at home.

Making his own beer.

Did you know that April is North Carolina Beer Month? Yeah, I didn't either. Until - well - beer. Being brewed in my home. It's kind of stinky when it gets started and I've banned him from doing that stinky step inside the house for future brews. Outside he goes. And yes, there will be future brews.

Honestly? I think it's much easier to head out about town and find yourself a good brew or two to sip thoughtfully while watching the game or hanging with friends. But for now it's a part of our family's busy schedule. Beer brewing and bottling and the like.

So when the opportunity to introduce you (and myself) to Charlotte Craft Beer came along through the NC Blogger Network, I decided I absolutely needed to participate. Because craft beer? And my husband's new past-time? Perfect together.

First, let me introduce you to the sponsor of this awesome giveaway - did I forget to mention I'm giving something away here? Stay with me.

Meet Charlotte's got a lot. An incredible site where you can learn loads about North Carolina and Charlotte, specifically (obviously!) and more importantly for this event, loads of details about Charlotte's craft beer scene.

Charlotte's beer scene started back in 2007 in Montana - sounds weird, right? Well, it isn't all that weird when you learn that that's when John Marrino, founder of The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB - opened in '09) fell into the idea of diving into beer, so to speak. I fear that this could be in my future if my husband's home brew takes off ... ehem. OMB was just the start of the scene. You'll find loads of information on the breweries that surfaced soon after over at Charlotte's got a lot. 

One of the coolest things I've read was the info on all of the things made with beer you can find around the Queen city. The choices range from cheese dip (omg, CHEESE DIP) to cocktails, pretty much covering every aspect of your meal. You could travel Charlotte and find something to eat that's been touched with beer pretty much everywhere - and I'm not just talking the brewery or pub scene. It's fascinating how local beers have become ingrained into the community in this way.

Now for the information you've been waiting for.

I've got a Charlotte Craft Beer set for one winner. See most of the products in this image below.

Included in this gift set you'll find:
