User:Jacqwaz/The Heritage Flag Company

The Heritage Flag Company is the first company to create American flags out of whiskey barrels. Founded in 2014 in Southern Pines, NC by Heath Trigg, the first flag was created out of whiskey barrels in order to match the taproom that Heath had been commissioned to build for Southern Pines Brewing Company. The first Heritage Flag was offered for sale to the public on Veteran's Day 2014.

History
The first Heritage Flag was created after the three founders of Southern Pines Brewing Company commissioned Heath Trigg and his then custom cabinet-making business, Southern Pine Woodworking, to create a taproom out of whiskey barrel staves for their new brewery. After the project was completed, Trigg dreamed up the idea of creating a matching whiskey barrel American flag as a thank you gift for the owners. He presented the handmade flag to them at their grand opening.
