Fullsteam owner and “Chief Executive Optimist” Sean Wilson has been working overtime to help improve laws relating to North Carolina's craft industry. His latest project? Creating beers that scream “Southern.” The brewery's Apothecary series incorporates heirloom grains, locally farmed goods, and even botanicals into beers like Summer Basil and the smoky Hogwash. And its aptly named Forager series uses crowdsourcing to collect surplus ingredients such as persimmons, paw paws, and figs from public land and private yards, resulting in beers that are—literally speaking—wild.
