Brewing up History
Introducing the full complete collaboration series between the Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle & Ghost Harbor Brewing Company, the second museum collaborated beer series in North Carolina and the first beers created to promote the Museum of the Albemarle.
Inspired by the Museum of the Albemarle's 2020 Exhibition, "Temperance & Bootlegging: A Nation Under Prohibition". The museum's foundation, Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle, reached out to Elizabeth City's local craft brewery, Ghost Harbor Brewing Company, to help create the second North Carolinian Museum & Brewery Collaboration.
The four brews are individually inspired by historical moments, figures, and icons related to northeastern North Carolina.

The joint collaboration is designed to help reach out to our younger professional demographic shared between both parties. The Museum's exhibition which celebrates the Centennial of Prohibition helps drive this special creation.
The collaboration helped drive community involvement with our small-businesses, teach the importance of providing support to the common effort of preserving our history, education of our youth, and philanthropy. The Foundation and Brewery, together over this 4 part collaboration collect, a portion of the proceeds went to support the mission of the Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle to provide funds for exciting exhibits, educational programs, and artifact conservation that interpret the history of northeastern North Carolina.
