The Old North State Winery and Brewery in Mount Airy is a quaint location. It's obvious they are a winery but they still deserve to be recognized in the NC Beer tour. They don't name their beers and the beers they have are brewed on a small scale by none other than Foothills in Winston-Salem. The only beer they had available for my trip with the IPA. It was an obvious hand crafted brew and coming from Foothills I would not expect less. I'm sure the other beers are just as good. When they started with beer they brewed in the alley behind the winery but after some unfavorable weather they decided to contract their beers. Probably a smart move on their part being that you really don't want wine yeast and beer yeast to mix and they are a winery first and foremost. The staff seems very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming. They have a decent selection of other Craft and Import brews so it's not a wasted trip on the beer front. I think with a little more promotion and possible catchy names they could tap into a market that they are otherwise losing by just being a winery. They have the staff there that understands beer to the point that they can put out a tasty product.
Cheers!
