Burial Beer’s 4th Annual Burnpile Harvest Fest

(Asheville, NC) – Burnpile Harvest Fest is officially slated for Saturday, October 14th from 12pm-8pm at Burial Beer Co.’s South Slope taproom on 40 Collier Ave. Now in its forth year, Burnpile celebrates the harvest season with live music and seasonally inspired beers from 40+ breweries from around the country.

“Harvest Fest originated in Seattle, Washington for us. It was a gathering of our closest friends who would come over and bring food and harvest beers while Doug and Tim would homebrew. It was this incredible celebration of the season that accompanied a lot of colors and smells and visuals,” explains Jess Reiser, Co-Founder of Burial. “When we moved here we wanted to bring that tradition to Burial so we could celebrate our new community that we had quickly grown close to. The goal was not just to showcase our beers but also the beers of our friends from other breweries, and our patrons as well.”
