Craft beer, creative cocktails, and a lobster roll? The Swanky Straw trio visits King Canary Brewing Co. in Davidson, where drinks and dining come together with Marley Jean’s Raw Bar and Kitchen. The ladies sample a three-beer flight, a s’mores-inspired Old Fashioned with a toasted marshmallow, and a seasonal cocktail, sharing their tasting notes and favorites along the way. They also learn about the brewery’s playful beer names, house-made cocktail syrups, and garnishes before ordering a lobster roll, Cuban sandwich, and potato wedges.
