Live Tweeting from the Upcoming High Country Beer Fest

Broyhill Manager — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:53:20 +0000

We will be tweeting live from the High Country Beer fest on September 4th from 3pm until 7pm.

If you prefer to drink fine craft beers rather then read about them, then come on up next weekend and enjoy yourselves.

Tickets are on sale on-line at http://www.hcbeerfest.com . Pre-sale tickets are at a reduced price from the gate price so click on over and buy them today! Admission price includes a logo’d tasting glass and access to the educational sessions that will be held throughout the afternoon. Additionally, we will offer various “Safe Ride Home” options during and following the event.

The tweeting will be done throughout the event… with 56 Breweries.. this should get interesting and potentially entertaining.. Hope to see you at the High Country Beer Fest in Boone over Labor Day weekend!

So follow both the Broyhill Inn’s twitter page @Broyhill_Inn and the the beer fest’s page @HCBeerFest or better yet, come join us!

Winter is just around the corner… lets have some fun in the North Carolina High Country!

Check out this awesome new video on the High Country’s winter activities…

We had a powerful winter last year and look to have another one this year.. the “old timers” have a tradition around here.. you put a bean in a pot for every day during the month of August that we have fog… each bean after the month, will equate to a snow storm in the winter… Today is the 19th of August and we have I think 11 beans in the pot already!

Make your plans now to visit Boone and the High Country this winter!

Welcome

The Broyhill Inn is a quiet escape in the mountains of North Carolina. It is great for conferences, special events, weddings, or just a weekend getaway! We also host many great events so keep an eye out for what’s happening!

Economic Recovery wine list will continue… come save some $$ on some good wines..

Continuing into August, the Jackson Dining Room at the Broyhill Inn, we will be offering an additional special wine list.. we have compiled a lengthy wine list of many many wonderful wines that we used during our educational wine trainings throughout the year.

The fun part is two fold… They are all priced at $22 and we only have a few bottles of each…

One copy of the menu will be floating around between the customers and as we sell a bottle, we will mark off the bottle so that we maintain an accurate count of what is still available… Many bottles have been consumed.. but we still have many great values left.

So our Economic Recovery Wine List will continue to be in place. Come out and enjoy some great wine buys, have a great meal with our awesome 25 mile long range view. Be sure to give us a call to make reservations! 262-2204

Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park – Trails are being cut!!!

Broyhill Manager — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:38:54 +0000

Went to an awesome presentation last night about the progress and information on Boone’s newest attraction – the Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park located just east of town off of Hwy 421. The room was standing room only and the project has generated a lot of local enthusiasm and support.

The Boone Area Cyclists and Watauga County Tourism professionals have teamed up to provide inspiration, volunteer labor and some funding to get this project rolling quickly.. in just about a years time from the initial concepts… trails are underway.

To follow the development of this exciting project, here is the blog url http://rockyknob.wordpress.com/

Here you can see photos and read about the progress… also ways that you can get involved.
