Did you know only 1 in 10 people get enough fruits + veggies in their diet? Hungry Harvest wants to change that. They’re partnering with local breweries to get more people consuming produce in a fun way — because sipping on a pint of beer sounds slightly more enjoyable than eating some broccoli.
On Fri. Oct. 22, the Drink Your Produce program will launch at 3 breweries in the Triangle. These breweries used Hungry Harvest produce to create craft beers + ciders. Here’s where to find these creative collaborations (and a sneak peek of what you’ll be sipping):
Bull City Ciderworks
📍All 3 locations (Durham, Greensboro, Lexington)
🍺 What they created: Yampkin is a cider made with sweet potatoes from Hungry Harvest, pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a hint of oak.
Clouds Brewing
📍1233 Front St., Raleigh
🍺What they created: Sweet Potato Pepper Porter. They aged their annual Sweet Potato Porter in Hungry Harvest peppers, giving it a kick without overwhelming the sweet, earthy sweet potato flavor.
Durty Bull Brewing
📍206 Broadway St., #104, Durham
🍺What they created: Melonious Funk is a 2-year oak-aged sour blended with watermelon + lime.
Giving back
Hungry Harvest wants to share the new brews across social media — for a good cause. Post pics of your Hungry Harvest beer, cider, or seltzer with hashtag #drinkyourproduce for a chance to win a month of free produce delivery. Don’t forget to tag @hungryharvest and the brewery. Bonus: For every pint sold of the collaboration beer, Hungry Harvest will donate 1 pound of produce to local hunger-fighting organizations.
Opening and closing time varies by the time of operation of each partner brewery. Ⓟ
