USA, NC: Foothills Brewing celebrates 100th anniversary of the merging of the towns of Winston and Salem with the release of Hundred Foot

Foothills Brewing said it will introduce a limited-supply beer, Hundred Foot, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the merging of the towns of Winston and Salem, Winston – Salem Journal reported on April, 22.

The merger was effective May 9, 1913.

The beer will be available at most of the city’s centennial events, at Foothills’ downtown Winston-Salem pub and in limited release 22-ounce bottles at selected retail establishments.

“We’re thrilled that the city wanted us to be a part of their celebration,” said Jamie Bartholomaus, president and brewmaster of Foothills. “This community has embraced us ever since we opened our doors, so to be recognized as an integral part of this city and this historic event is something we’re extremely proud of.”

Mayor Allen Joines said that since Old Salem had a brewery, “it seems appropriate that we should celebrate our 100th birthday with a locally-brewed craft beer.”
