Forgotten Road Ales Tap Takeover at Bottle Theory

Thursday, August 6 | Beer All Day • Trivia at 7 PM • Presti Pizza 5–9 PM

There's nothing we love more than introducing people to outstanding North Carolina breweries, and this week we're thrilled to welcome Forgotten Road Ales for a special tap takeover.

We'll be pouring three incredible beers all day (or until they sell out), so come early if there's one you've been wanting to try.

🍺 On Tap

  • DDH Thee Smoke Show – A double dry-hopped version of one of Forgotten Road's fan-favorite IPAs, packed with even more juicy hop character.

  • Recruit – A crisp, approachable beer that's perfect for kicking back with friends.

  • Smoke's Blueberry Seduction – A fruit-forward, refreshing brew inspired by one of the brewery's most beloved mascots.

A Brewery Built on Community

Forgotten Road Ales isn't just known for exceptional beer—it's built around an even bigger mission.

Founded in Graham, North Carolina, the brewery traces its roots to co-founder and Marine veteran Ben, who dreamed of creating a place where veterans could reconnect after military service while also bringing the broader community together. The name "Forgotten Road" represents the unique path every veteran travels after leaving the military, and that spirit of friendship and belonging is woven throughout everything they do. Around the brewery, customers aren't just customers—they're part of the FRAMily.

Since opening in 2019, Forgotten Road has become one of North Carolina's most respected craft breweries, earning a reputation for outstanding IPAs, barrel-aged beers, wild ales, and sours. They've even recently been recognized among the top breweries at the 2026 U.S. Open Beer Championship.

👀 Keep an Eye Out...

If you've seen Thee Smoke Show or Smoke's Blueberry Seduction, you've probably noticed the handsome pup featured on the can.

Let's just say...there are rumors that Smoke himself might make a special appearance at Bottle Theory Thursday evening.

No promises—but if you're lucky, you may get to meet the brewery's four-legged celebrity in person.

Make a Night of It

🍕 Presti Pizza will be serving dinner from 5–9 PM, making it easy to pair a fresh pizza with your flight.

Then stick around for Trivia at 7 PM, where you can test your knowledge, compete for prizes, and enjoy some of the freshest Forgotten Road beers available outside the brewery.

Whether you're already part of the FRAMily or trying Forgotten Road Ales for the very first time, this is a night you won't want to miss.

See you Thursday! Cheers! 🍻
