This beer has been a runaway hit for our brewery! On September 11, 1955, Vicki, a 6-year-old Indian Elephant, escaped from the Airport Amusement Park in Charlotte. For nine days the fugitive pachyderm roamed free. Following recapture, two years later Vicki was sold to Carowinds developer Pat Hall. Hall relocated/resold the wayward elephant to a little-known town northwest toward the Blue Ridge Mountains, a town named Granite Falls. Vicki, due to an incurable illness, died shortly thereafter in Granada Farms Zoo. In 1976 the zoo was redeveloped into a golf course. Today, Vicki rests under the Number Three fairway — circus elephant bones under a golf course! With the release of our Peanut Butter Ale, GFB celebrates the free spirit in all of us. This specialty ale is reddish in color, slightly sweet with low hop bitterness. Crisp, smooth, sessionable — peanut buttery! (Mix it with our Porter and enjoy a Peanut Butter Cup.). Warning: Individuals with nut allergies should not indulge in this brew, it was handcrafted using real Peanut Butter.
