PCJ Wed Aug 27: Margaritaville Moves to the Cape Fear — Music, Pints & Fins Up 🎶

Fermental, Waterline & Watermans are keeping summer alive — island vibes, live music, and plenty of reasons to celebrate!

While Wilmington tries to reason with hurricane season, the breweries are giving us better reasons to celebrate! Fermental, Waterline, and Watermans are turning up the island vibes this weekend with frozen drinks, live tunes, and tropical parties. Grab your flip-flops and Hawaiian shirt — it’s Margaritaville time. 🌴

Hurricane Party

SAT AUG 30: 11AM - 11 PM @ Fermental - CD
Here on the shores of coastal North Carolina, we're deep in the midst of HURRICANE SEASON, with a new storm or tropical depression forming daily.

This balancing act of wavering weather moving across the Atlantic towards our corner of the state, keeps things interesting as the summer comes to an end. To celebrate this natural wonder, we are dedicating a day to cyclonic-inspired beverages, including the classic HURRICANE cocktail alongside our own variations and other themed drinks.

And... as we step into the final week of the End Of Days Distillery Summer Cocktail Treasure Hunt, this is the perfect time to cross off our featured ferment on your map: THE GILLIGAN (End Of Days Hurricane + Frose + Whipped Cream + Orange + Cherry].

Forget the milk, bread, and bottled water, this HURRICANE PARTY is an opportunity to explore the tropics without the depressions.

  • END OF DAYS HURRICANE TASTING 2PM-5PM

  • FOOD TRUCK: 5pm

  • LIVE MUSIC: Elena Woodard 7pm

  • Family friendly. Pet friendly. Free parking.
