Reply to: Anyone been to Raleigh, North Carolina?

True, but I prefer to be able to walk afterwards...

I did make the mistake of not checking the a.b.v. when ordering during a bar crawl.
I didn't make that mistake twice

Once you've developed a taste for Belgian beer in all its weird variety, other countries' beers seem a bit on the tame side.
Not saying they're all good mind you, just, ahem, interesting

Yeah.. not an expert on the preservation side. Quite a few they serve in 1/3 pint size as they are quite a bit stronger than your average session IPA.

Lager beers IPA and variants seem popular over there, those tend to last longer open especially when cold on CO2 and pasteurised. ~ 2 months.

Mythbusting the IPA

Also they do very small kegs for specialist beers.

They must be packed to the rafters constantly to keep that many beers in good nick though.

Should tell you everything you need to know

[sasguru]

Yep, one of my mates lives there...

If you like craft beer try this place

Bar Raleigh Nc - Raleigh Beer Garden - when I went they had 366 beers on tap...

[Oops I missed that it had already been recommended]

Thanks, that sounds more like it - will give it a shot.

[gnarledcontractor]

What's it like? Any recommendations?

Hopefully you'll get a non-stop flight and in business class

Hmm not even sure about that.
Hiring a car seems a good idea though, ta.

I've been a couple of times as IBM have stuff out there. Didn't get to see much but ate reasonably well as had a hire car so went out and about. Raleigh's Beer Gardens comes to mind along with (I think it was called) Big Ed's, I also recall a trip to a bourbon bar. Hopefully you'll get a non-stop flight and in business class

Mind you, in a couple of weeks I fly Washington for a couple of days, then onto Little Rock in Arkansas for a couple of weeks, then down to Orlando (and possibly Jacksonville) for a few more weeks, up to Ontario for 3 weeks and then back down to Washington. All work but it does mean I need to take around 40 pairs of underpants and socks

Got a training course, not with SAS.
I get the impression it's a bit hicksville - is that right?
Mind you if I can find a decent bevy as opposed to the rancid piss that passes for American beer, it should be bearable.

I see you are working on your winning ways again. Look forward to the headlines "British toilet cleaner found drowned in brewing VAT".

[sasguru]

Yes loved it - spent a lot of time around there when I worked for GSK on the merger between GW and SKB. We stayed out in Cary because it was close to work. Stayed at the Courtyard Marriot because there was a small strip mall over the road with a few bars (Macgregors Ale house) and a few places to eat. Think SAS have a big site out that way....is that why you are looking for recommendations?
