During Thanksgiving at Dirtbag Ales, customers become family

George W. Richards has been living in Fayetteville on and off for 26 years, almost twice as long as Dirtbag Ales has been around. But within the brewery, he has found a space that makes him feel more welcome than nearly anywhere else. Richards discovered the brewery at its original location off Legion Road, where he met co-owner and brewmaster Vernardo Simmons-Valenzuela, known to everyone as Tito. From that point on, Richards became a regular. He still remembers Dirtbag’s first Christmas Market, which happened during the transition from its first brewery to the current one on Corporation Drive. He said the market had a resounding impact on the community, and as the brewery prepared to expand, it was packed wall-to-wall. “You could not move; it was that successful,” Richards said. Since the 2019 transition, Richards said he has been at nearly every Dirtbag event, from Tuesday trivia nights to record exchanges to the upcoming Rock Shop reunion concert the day after Black Friday. Dirtbag Ales is now able to host several Thanksgiving-centered events. For loyal customers like Richards, the brewery’s celebrations help reconnect families while offering a safe space for people who may be spending the holiday alone. How Dirtbag
