Raise a Glass to National Beer Day

Where to hop to for National Drink Beer Day Sept. 28

Hoppy National Drink Beer Day! If you like your water with barley and hops (!), we’ve got some stella ways to celebrate. So hop to it with these six local breweries that are truly raising the bar. Cheers!

Trophy Brewing

Go big or gourd home with Trophy’s just-released Pumpkin Spice Milky Way! Built on Milky Way’s base recipe of crystallized caramel and roasted malts with added autumnal spices, this brew just screams fall. Can we get an ale yeah?

Lonerider Brewing

Oktoberfest is in full swing at Lonerider! Try the beloved brewery’s new Viggo Oktoberfest brew to toast the best season of all. Prost!

Crank Arm Brewing

This wheelie cool DTR brewery is constantly raising the bar when it comes to beer. And just in time for October, they’ve released their Sproktoberfest brew—and are selling beer steins online!

Raleigh Beer Garden

If you need a selection that’s lager than life, head to RBG for a good beer and an even better time thanks to three floors of perch ops—and that incredible patio weather we’ve been having (!). 

Transfer Co. Food Hall

Spend natty beer day at Transfer Co. Bar for half-price select cans and a lineup of local brews to help you work on your six pack. And when hunger inevitably strikes, you’ve got tons of ops to choose from (Burritos! Empanadas! Burgers!).

West Street Dog

If your furry friend is as much of a hoptimist as you, then you’re gonna wanna bring them to West Street Dog, which boasts an indoor off-leash park for your pup to make new friends (or take a seat at the bar right beside you).
