The New Brewery In Town

Until 2005, North Carolina was one of only five states that capped alcohol content in beer at 6 percent.  This inhibited the growth of microbreweries and brewpubs that were creeping up in the rest of the nation - but on August 13th, 2005, Governor Mike Easley "popped the cap" and North Carolina's craft beer revolution was born.

The last five years in particular has seen an explosion of Triangle breweries and one of the newest is White Street Brewing on White Street in downtown Wake Forest.  There's a double gain with White Street - the Triangle gains a new brewery and Wake Forest gains a brewery with a beautiful tap room open to the public daily, helping the revitalization and modernization of a heritage business district.

Last night Radio 96.1 held a Local Beer Club event featuring White Street Brewing and the attendance was outstanding.  When you get a chance, stop by their tap room on White Street and say hello to Dino.  When you're out and about in the Triangle, if you don't see White Street beer on tap, "Just Ask For It"!  Look for future Local Beer Club events featuring more great Triangle breweries.
