Throughout the month of August, we’ve been focusing on local brews, pubs and breweries.
Although I’m originally from North Carolina, I’ve never stopped into the Outer Banks Brewing Station – though now I think I have to.

In 2008, the brewery won what they refer to on their web site as a “long six (6) year protracted zoning battle” with Kill Devil Hills to install a 10kw wind turbine, which will help power the brewpub. The turbine made Outer Banks Brewing “America’s First Wind Powered Brew Pub.”
