2023 Outer Banks Brewtag

How far can a keg fly? Hosted by the Rogallo Foundation, this event is a celebration of flight and beer. Brewtag teams from all over the east coast compete to see who can launch and fly an empty 1/6 keg barrel the farthest. The sky is the limit as to how creative your homemade flying contraption can be! Individuals and teams are welcome to register and be part of the very unique keg flying competition. Live music by local artists throughout the event pairs well with the local and regional craft breweries on site and local food vendors ready to serve! This family-friendly event will also feature plenty of activities for the kiddos with a kid zone featuring games and crafts and lots of room to hang with friends, kids, and watch the show!

The Rogallo Foundation was created to honor Francis and Gertrude Rogallo, inventors of the flexible wing; to preserve their priceless records, artifacts, and research; to interpret their incredible story and protect this legacy of free flight for millions of people in all nations of the world; and to stimulate and support research and education in aerodonetics, the science of gliding and soaring flight and low-speed aerodynamics. All proceeds from OBX Brewtag will be used to build a museum with educational opportunities utilizing tangible objects for programs and exhibits to preserve and interpret the Rogallos’ story behind the invention and evolution of the flexible wing. The museum will feature all of Rogallo’s innovative work, designs, history, and advancements since its development.
