America’s First Wind Powered Brew Pub
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.
The Outer Banks Brewing Station was founded by Eric Reece and Aubrey Davis. Eric and Aubrey had developed an interest in home brewing - and eventually sought to open an environmentally friendly brew pub. 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.”
