Pints and Purpose: The Community Brew of Red Buffalo Brewing Co. in Statesville

Last Updated 4/1/2024

We never expected a stroll through downtown Statesville would unveil a discovery as refreshing as a cold pint on a warm day, but that's precisely what happened upon meeting Joe Bondi, the mastermind behind Red Buffalo Brewing Company. His journey from purchasing a simple structure to creating a central community heartbeat unfolds in our latest podcast episode. This episode takes you on a six-year voyage with Red Buffalo, showcasing how Joe's love for craft beer intertwines with his commitment to fostering connections and energizing the community's spirit. It's a narrative that captures the essence of Statesville, enriched by the tunes of local musicians and the presence of food trucks that transform the brewery into a bustling gathering spot.

As we converse with Joe, we delve into the layers of his dedication to Statesville, revealing a story that extends far beyond beer. His hands-on approach to community service and the way this ethos is infused in every pint at Red Buffalo come to life through our discussion. From creatively named beers to a unique fire truck serving as a mobile tap station, the vibrancy of Statesville and its brewery scene becomes palpable. Adding to the excitement, Red Buffalo Brewing will be celebrating NC Pint Day on April 7, 2024, with a special commemorative pint created in partnership with the NC Brewers Guild. This event not only highlights the brewery's innovative spirit but also its role in promoting North Carolina's rich brewing culture. So, whether you're indulging in a Mouthy Blonde or enjoying the depth of Val's Chocolate Stout, join us for a chat that explores the craft of community-building as much as it does beer crafting. Here's to the stories and brews of Red Buffalo Brewing Co.—where every sip is a testament to the art of bringing people together. Cheers!
