Beverly Hanks April 10, 2017 0

Just a short drive north, the small Madison County town of Marshall has made the most of riverside living. There are dozens of local galleries and studios, forming an enclave of artists in the midst of a renaissance.

This refreshing session ale debuted last summer as an Asheville-made Small Batch beer before going into production as a new year-round offering. Lighter in body and ABV than its namesake Farmer Ted’s Cream Ale, Ted Light Lime is infused with a thirst-quenching hint of fresh natural lime flavor. Look for Ted Light Lime wherever Catawba beers are sold.

Looking Glass and Sugar & Snow Collaborate in the name of Great Gelato

User Submission February 20, 2018 0

Two Asheville Area businesses, Looking Glass Creamery and Sugar & Snow Gelato are teaming up in the name of delicious gelato. Sugar & Snow Gelato is a local company that has always made their popular line of gelato from scratch. They use simple whole ingredients in their proprietary gelato recipes, versus a commercially prepared base from unknown origins that is the more typical starting point of many ice cream and gelato makers. Local sourcing and top-quality ingredients have always been important to Amy Pickett, founder of Sugar & Snow. She has used creamline milk and heavy cream from North Carolina farms from day one. When it came time to find another dairy provider to keep up with demand, she saw an opportunity to bring her sourcing even closer to home. She decided to reach out to Jennifer Perkins of Looking Glass Creamery to see if there was a possibility of using the milk from the company’s herd of pasture based dairy cows.
