The Outer Banks is home to many things.  One of the lesser known but definitely growing items are 2 local breweries.  The Outer Banks Brewing Station is located right on US-158 in Kill Devil Hills. You can't miss the giant windmill. The second brewpub, Weeping Radish, is located on US-158 in Jarvisburg.  Look to your right when driving onto the island and you can't miss their 24-acre butchery, brewery and eco farm.  Both of these breweries have their own unique flavor and types of beer.

     Both breweries use of in-season ingredients lead to many unique and tasty beers throughout the seasons.  Both brewpubs,Outer Banks Brewing Station and Weeping Radish, have received excellent reviews from beer drinkers locally and nationally.  

     The Outer Banks Brewing Station has some very amazing past brews.  One brew, Olsch, is one of the easiest drinking brews they make and is a great introduction for someone new into the world of microbrews. Here you will find their current list of brews. If you stop in the OBBS make sure that you try their sampler, which offers 4 5oz. beers for $6. If you find a brew you like, they also offer growlers, which are 2 liter take-home jugs. Nothing is better after a long day then a barbeque and an ice cold jug of microbrew.
The Weeping Radish offers all of their beer in the traditional Reinheitsgebot. All of their beers follow the original strict German tradition. They also offer their beer from the brewery or at their online store. If you like unique, one-of-a-kind brew, make sure you stop by and try both the Outer Banks Brewing Station and Weeping Radish Brewery.
