Went to a Total Wine and surprisingly they didn't stock a single Thai or Southeast Asian beer. Looking for Chang, BeerLao, San Miguel, etc. Where can I purchase these beers around RTP / Morrisville / Cary?
from my count- only 54 breweries participating on Saturday and a noticeable absence of local breweries.
Anybody know anything about this new brewery at 4501 Edwards Mill? Looks like they're based out Delaware and have a beach vibe. Odd aesthetic for Raleigh. Anyone been to the other locations or even had one of their beers?
Title. Visiting my cousin in this awesome city and now I see why people love this place. The parks, the restaurants, events, there's so much to do. I love love the brewery scene you guys have here. it's fricken awesome. The only thing I’ve never really seen is how many babies/ children are in you guy's bars and brewery. it's interesting and kinda strange to me but it seems totally normal down here, which is cool.
It wasn't until our 3rd brewery while I've been here where I saw conflict and because of the brewery dynamics here I guess you could argue each side. We saw a little word exchange between dudes watching the games on tv and a group that had kids playing nearby. I mean, full on toys out like we're at a daycare. driving the toy trucks over the bar stools, tables, shelves etc.
The guys were reacting to the games with typical stuff like "shitty call", "they suck ass", "hellyea dude", just typical game stuff. Well the group beside them with kids eventually asked if they could watch their language since they had kids around, to which the guys replied with something like "no, this is a bar not a daycare, take them to a kid place, not an adult bar"
The kid group ended up moving further away. My cousin sided with the kid group, saying they should watch their language. I actually sided with the dudes watching the game. If all spaces are kid spaces then where are the adult spaces? And kids don't buy beer, adult do so who's the actual intended audience?
I had an amazing time in Raleigh and will definitely come visit again. I just want to make sure I have the brewery etiquette down. So are the adults supposed to work around the kids or are the people bringing the kids supposed to work around the adults? Can I talk like a person drinking beer reacting to a game on TV or do I talk like I'm in a daycare/playground. Or maybe you guys breweries and bars are considered family venues like museums, parks etc?
Side note: Your guys' breweries even have awesome food! Love this damn city!
Thanks for the tips and I'll be visiting again! Don't worry, I'm not moving here, I know you guys hate that lmao!
