“Located in the ever-growing outskirts of Wilmington, North Carolina, Fermental is set inside the comfortable confines of a 1940s bungalow with a unique assortment of rooms and seating areas to peruse and/or consume a vast inventory of beverages,” said Craftbeer.com “The shop sells and serves an eclectic selection of craft beer and features a large outdoor beer garden, an indoor bar area with perpetually rotating draft beer selections, growler fills, weekly events, free tastings, live music and food trucks. This North Carolina beer bar is old school and new school at the same time, pushing the modern trends while recognizing the backbone of beer industry traditionalists and classic styles.”
