North Carolina Beer Month

For the third year in a row, NC breweries, craft bars, restaurants, bottle shops and more have collaborated to put on a month-long celebration of all things beer in our fine state. Over 90 breweries and countless other beer destinations are participating in this year’s NC Beer Month. We’ll be featuring breweries from the mountains to the coast in our various events throughout the month. Be on the lookout for great local drafts, Randalls, beer churches, and more.

    This is no April Fool’s joke….

    We’re pleased to announce our Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel event! Join us and Rochelle Leone of Freedom Beverage as we enjoy this amazing, highly sought-after beer.

    This imperial (10.9% ABV) Oatmeal stout is brewed with one of the world’s most expensive coffees, made from droppings of weasel-like civet cats. The fussy Southeast Asian animals only eat the best and ripest coffee berries. Enzymes in their digestive system help to break down the bean. Workers collect the bean-containing droppings for Civet or Weasel Coffee. The exceedingly rare Civet Coffee has a strong taste and an even stronger aroma.

  • $10 pitchers: Bartender’s choice.
  • Free wine tasting: from 5-7 PM, with two whites and two reds.
  • BYOT (Bring Your Own Trivia): The next wave of pub trivia. Prizes include gift certificates to Chop’s Deli, Memory Lane Comics, Marks of Distinction, as well as beer from us.
