You may have missed Chuck Leavell this time around, but luckily his work still made it to the taproom. 🍂✨
Grab a pour of the Chestnutoberfest he brewed with Justin December 13th at starting at 1pm! Perfect time to pick up your chestnut seedling as well!😉
Here’s to good friends, good music, and even better beer. Cheers! 🍻

Last Friday, led by Reinhardt University's Kylie Stover and TACF's Jamie van Clief, nearly 90 hybrid chestnuts were planted at the Austin Flint orchard just north of Waleska. These chestnuts were pre-screened for Phytophthora root rot (PRR) resistance at Clemson University by Dr. Steve Jeffers and his crew. Those planted were the top performers that are expected to carry genetic resistance to this lethal chestnut disease. Here are just a few pics from the day! Volunteers included:
Hayden Stover
Charles West
Hailey Gregorich
Julia Hunt
Vinny Varsalona
Cassidy Wallace
CareyJo Titus
Mike Lloyd
Zach Felix
Keith Hudson
Jamie Van Clief
Kylie Stover
Matthew Bowman
Sarah Hill
Many thanks to all who helped out!
