Over 100 breweries tap into a brew-tiful 3rd annual NC Pint Day
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — More than 100 breweries and retailers across North Carolina are pulling up chairs to celebrate the third annual North Carolina Pint Day on Sunday, April 12.
Pint Day is an initiative to help promote, prepare and protect independent craft breweries in North Carolina.
HIGHLAND BREWING FOUNDER IGNITES THE ASHEVILLE BEER SCENE, TAPPING INTO THE AMERICAN DREAM
Each year, the North Carolina Brewers Guild celebrates with a limited edition collectible pint glass. This year’s glass was designed by Asheville-based artist Sadie Tynch.
According to the North Carolina Brewers Guild website, the design illustrates a blend of North Carolina’s native wildlife, botanical life, music, agriculture and community.
“Three years in, NC Pint Day has become something bigger than the glass itself,” said Lisa Parker, Executive Director of the North Carolina Craft Brewers Guild, in a news release. “ North Carolina’s independent craft breweries have long doubled as third spaces and community anchors, the kind of places where a neighborhood fundraiser gets organized, a local band plays their first show, or two strangers end up talking for hours. This glass is a celebration of that!”
According to a news release, with every glass bought, $1 will be sold directly to the North Carolina Craft Brewers Guild’s work for advocating, educating, and promoting the state’s craft brewing industry.

Virginia vs North Carolina pregame notes
UVA owns a 59-33 advantage since the series began in 1938.
The 59 wins are UVA’s most against any opponent in program history (followed by 51 against Duke).
In Chapel Hill last year, the Tar Heels defeated the Cavaliers 18-9, snapping UVA’s six-game series win streak.
UVA has won nine of the last 11 meetings, dating back to 2018.
The Hoos have won the last two meetings with Carolina at Klöckner Stadium, 11-4 in 2022 and 14-6 in 2024.
The Tar Heels’ four goals in 2022 marked the fewest goals in a game under Joe Breschi, who was named UNC’s head coach in 2006.
The last time the Tar Heels knocked off the Cavaliers at Klöckner was a 16-13 decision during the first of three games between the two teams in 2021.
Later that year, UVA claimed back-to-back meetings against the Heels, including in the NCAA semifinals on the way to capturing the 2021 national title over Maryland.

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Fire crews are responding to a brush fire near Howard Gap Road in Hendersonville on Friday evening.
The fire is across the street from the Ebenezer Baptist Church and near the Highlands Square Shopping Center.
Henderson County Fire Marshal Glen Gillette said crews are fighting “blowdown from Helene.”

Around 11 p.m., the fire appears larger than it did an hour ago because crews are backburning, which refers to using fire to help control the wildfire.
Dana Fire Department Chief Jimmy Womack said that what was a 3-acre fire an hour ago will be an 8-acre fire due to back burning. He said the fire is 80% contained.
Womack said the cause of the fire is unknown, but one of the conditions contributing to the blaze is the Helene blowdown.
“There’s a lot of blowdown in these woods behind us. That’s what creates most of the problem,” said Womack.
Womack said there has been no property damage and no injuries have been reported for this fire in the woods that 24 personnel are fighting. They got the call to arrive at 6:05 p.m.

Dana Fire and Rescue and Henderson County Fire Department are supporting the U.S. Forest Service with this fire.
Glen said no structures are threatened at this time and Howard Gap Road is closed.
