45 years ago, a little radio station named WCQS, which broadcasted from the the UNC Asheville campus, was officially incorporated.

Four decades and one name change later, Blue Ridge Public Radio (formerly WCQS) is turning 45, and we want to celebrate with you!

Head to Outsider Brewing on Thursday, August 29 for a special birthday edition of News & Brews. We’ll enjoy good drinks, casual conversation and (best of all) the first 50 attendees will receive a complimentary BPR pint glass.

  • When: Thursday, August 29 | 4-6 p.m.  
  • Where: Outsider Brewing, 939 Riverside Dr. 
  • Tickets: This event is free and open to the public
