The tap at Trophy Brewing in Raleigh
It's wasn't all that long agojust a dozen or so years, before the Pop the Cap movement led to the repeal of a restriction on the potency of beerthat North Carolina was something of a beer desert. Sure, you could find a sixer of Budweiser in your local grocery store cooler, but the craft IPAs and high-octane stouts that are today ubiquitous were, by and large, nowhere to be found. And yet, look at us now. Local beer is an industry; more than that, it's an obsession. From Trophy in Raleigh to Ponysaurus in Durham, from Mystery in Hillsborough to Haw River in Saxapahaw, the Triangle and its surrounding environs have dozens of breweries that stack up to the best in the country. Here's where you can find them. Jeffrey C. Billman
