A major thank you to our friends
Salt Face Mule Brewing Co. is a resturant, brewery and mini golf course in Asheville, NC. Owned by a Yancey County native with strong ties to WNC, Salt Face Mule has been a friend and supporter of Mountain Strong since we got started after Helene. We’re excited to host the 2nd annual Mountain Strong Mini Classic with them, and can’t thank them enough for helping us with the rare bourbon dinner - a really special way to kick off our favorite weekend of the year.
