Founded on the basis of fun and flight, the Outer Banks Brewtag is an event chock full of food, fami Individuals and teams are welcome.
(39)

A celebration of flight and beer, OBX Brewtag is modeled after the whimsical and entertaining Red Bull Flutag, translated to “flying day” in German. With OBX Brewtag, the general premise is the same, although rather than human-powered flying machines, Brewtag contestants will be competing to see who can launch and fly an empty 1/6 keg barrel the furthest. The cost to compete at OBX Brewtag is only

$150 and the sky is the limit as to how creative your homemade flying contraption can be! Admission to the event is Free. A rather crafty selection of local and regional beer and food will be available for purchase that day. This family-friendly event will also feature plenty of activities for the kiddos! The event will be held between 12-6. Gates open at 11pm and last call will be at 5:30. You don't want to miss the biggest North Carolina Beer event on the OBX! Please review the below policies. You must accept the policies at the bottom to proceed. Team registration is administered by Kitty Hawk Kites, on behalf of the Rogallo Foundation. Payment:

"This rag tag bunch, made up of educators, engineers, sailors, athletes, and a pilot, entered Brew Tag last year and not only won by flying the longest distance, but took out the judges table in the process when their glider just wouldn't quit. Although no lives were lost, this motley crew is concerned for the safety of the judges this year and is going to great lengths to make sure they are protected"

BLUE CRAB TAVERN

Captain: Chris Shultz

Crew: Greg Gardill, Tim Biddle

Hometown: Colington, KDH, NC

"We are pleased to participate once again. This team has twice broken
the all-time distance recorded during the previous two events, only to
have another team come and break it again during the contest. Team
Blue Crab Tavern has two second place titles under our belt.

Team Blue Crab - our story:

The sound, ocean and estuaries are no longer safe for crabs.
Fisherman, pollution, hurricanes, turtles, drum, stripers,
alligators...the water can be a dangerous place for an ordinary Blue
Crab. The land? Well, that’s no better. Habitat encroachment by
humans, beach nourishment, coyotes, tourists…the island is no longer
safe. It all amounts to frustration for crustaceans.

Ladies and gentleman! Kids of all ages! What you are about to witness
is evolution in the making. No longer will the sky be reserved for
birds and mankind's flying contraptions. Born on the bayou? We gonna
fly, yo!

Look in the sky!

It's a bird!

It's a plane!!!

It's a crab?!?!?"

🍺🎼TUESDAY TUNESDAY🎼🍺

We're excited to welcome Anchor Blazer at the 7th Annual Brewtag!

Shortly after NYE 2020, four mild-mannered nature pimps took a break from their day gigs to test-drive a few tunes and immediately fell into a groove. Two years later, this guitar/bass/drum combo lives somewhere “between a rock and a jam space,” delivering an eclectic mix of gritty Americana, hippie jams, straight-ahead punk, the occasional jazz cut — plus a collection of originals that are born from the tradition of “three chords and the truth,” but with a few more chords. Catch’ em dropping anchor at a range of Outer Banks clubs, town festivities, benefits and good ol’ fashioned backyard parties. Amity means friendship.

We're excited to welcome UniS at the 7th Annual Brewtag! UNIS

A 3-piece original band from the shores of NC. Mixing melodic vocals with drum line inspired percussion, acoustic bass rawness, filling keyboard sounds and a fancy tuned guitar into tracks that are hard to put into one category. The front of the band has been making music together for almost 3 decades adding the rhythm section in 2019. They started out playing covers and delved back into their roots as songwriters releasing their first album "Coriolis Effect" in early 2023. You can find them playing on stages across North Carolina and expanding their reach into South Carolina and Virginia.

GLIDEZILLA

Captain: Billy Vaughn

Crew: Greg Ball, Sean Comer, Rob Bachman, Lawrence Battalie

Hometown: OBX, NC

"Our team name this year is Glide-zilla, and consists of locals Billy Vaughn, Greg Ball, Lawrence Battaile, Rob Bachman, and part time local Sean Comer--all former (and one current) Kitty Hawk Kites hang gliding instructors! The team (with some variation in personnel over the years) has competed in every Brewtag but the first one, and has won on a couple of occasions...

Greg, Billy, and Rob started flying hang gliders on Jockey's Ridge in 1984, and Lawrence was one of their instructors. They all taught on the dunes starting in 1985, (the "Push Out Hard!" summer), and Sean started teaching in 1992. The team has been meeting regularly throughout the year on Thursday nights, consulting on research, design, and most importantly the BREW part of Brewtag. As a result, we expect excellent success in both the keg flying and in the beer tents.

This year we'll be flying a classic Rogallo Wing design, with the keg/pilot suspended from the keel. "

First Up, TEAM FLYING HIGH AGAIN

Captain: Scott Baird

Crew: Stewart Purvis, Frank Dow

Hometown: Richmond, VA

"What do you get when you combine a software engineer, nuclear scientist and high school mathematics teacher? Flying High Again! Scott and Stewart have been flying radio controlled gliders since childhood, often in the Outer Banks, and decided to try their luck at keg flying. How did they choose the name? Since music is in their blood (Frank and Scott’s band Tropical Johnson routinely played for years in the Outer Banks in the 90’s), a great walk-up song was a must. Ozzy Osbourne’s Flying High Again was the perfect fit. Let’s rock out and may the kegs fly high again."
