MILLS RIVER — Appalachian Mountain Brewery is adding Trail Marker Coffee Co. to its Mills River tap room starting April 1, the Boone-based brewing company announced.

Renowned for award-winning beers and ciders, AMB is venturing into the world of coffee with Trail Marker Coffee Co. Sprouted from a collective passion for outstanding coffee and the mountain lifestyle, Trail Marker’s inspiration stems from guiding the way for coffee enthusiasts, just as well-placed markers guide hikers. Their mission is to be more than just a coffee shop but rather a vital part of the daily adventure for guests. Hours are 7 a.m.-2 p.m.

Trail Marker Coffee Co. has partnered with Boone-based Bald Guy Brewing, sourcing its coffee solely from a well-known local roastery. With roots deep in the Appalachian Mountains, both entities share a commitment to supporting local businesses and nurturing community connections.

“We're thrilled to unveil our coffee trailer to the Mills River community, offering expertly roasted, organic, fair-trade coffee and espresso drinks,” Jared Edwards, co-owner and operator of Trail Marker, said in a news release. “From late-night lattes during college days at App State to realizing our dream with an incredible team, this journey has been a true labor of love. Whether you're unwinding at the taproom, starting your day with a morning boost, or seeking a midday perk, we invite you to visit Trail Marker Coffee Co.”
