Set Your Clock to Local Time
My original plan for featuring Local Time was to create a J. Peterman Catalog-style post that told a fantastical story behind each of photos.
Stories of Devin climbing over bags of grain to close a valve before the catastrophic loss of glorious ales. Or Chris exploring the world looking for the next great inspiration. Walking through the Saharan desert finding the perfect spices or the slashing his way through the jungles of Thailand to find the original recipe for the Phuket Sunset Thai Rice Lager.
Because when I think of Local Time Brewing, that’s what I think of: excellent craft beer created through a love of history. Each beer’s name shares a hint of the story behind it and gives some insight into how the ingredients were chosen and what processes were used.
That is something unique about Local Time that goes beyond the beer and the taproom - it speaks to the passion and vision of everyone involved and gets me excited about coming back over and over.
Founded in 2022 by Chris and Kelly Gallagher, in conjunction with Master Brewer Devin Singley, Local Time Brewing’s relaxed, welcoming, environment combined with award winning beers, has quickly made it a cornerstone of the Holly Springs downtown.
Local Time is an active member of the Holly Springs community and beyond. They have served as a drop-off site for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard, participated in charitable events such as Hops for Hope, and organized a large supply drop for WNC after Hurricane Helene.
