Widmer Brothers Deadlift Imperial IPA hits the taps at 11:00 AM.
Deadlift boasts the strong hop flavor of an imperial IPA without the weigh down. Citrusy and berry-like Nelson Sauvin hops meld with just enough malty sweetness and caramel character to balance the intense hop flavor and aroma.
Eric Fernald will be performing live, acoustic music from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.

Maybe it’s just the beer geeks in us, but we love seeing how one beer can taste so different depending on how it is served (cask, nitro, draft) or what hops are used.
Join us all day on Saturday, February 24th, when we will offer a limited edition sample tray of our Playlist Pale Ale, consisting of Playlist 00:02 on draft, on cask, and on nitro, plus Playlist 00:01 on draft – so you can see how different a beer can taste when the hops are changed up.
Each limited edition sample tray will come with one voting card – vote for your favorite, and we’ll give you $1 off a pint of that beer!

Join New Belgium Brewery at the Raleigh Wine Bar and Market for a Sour Sampling.
The sampling will include:
- New Belgium Clutch: This pleasing, two-part, potion was brewed with chocolate and black malts for a rich and roasty overtone, then fused with a dry, substratum of sour for a bold and audacious flavor. Black as night, this beer is blended at 80% stout, 20% dark sour wood beer for a collaboration that begins with a sour edge and finishes with a big, dark malt character, lingering, sweet on your palate.
- New Belgium La Folie, Sour Brown Ale: La Folie, French for “the folly,” is a beer steeped in New Belgium brewing tradition. This wood-aged, sour brown spends one to three years in big, oak barrels, known as foeders. And when the beer finally hits the glass, La Folie is sharp and sour, full of green apple, cherry, and plum-skin notes. Pouring a deep mahogany, the mouthfeel will get you puckering while the smooth finish will get you smiling. Not a beer for the timid, La Folie is a sour delight that will turn your tongue on its head. Find out why it’s considered one of the best sour beers around.
- New Belgium French Oak Saison: The result is a rustic, goldenrod yellow saison offering pleasant lemon and white grape aromas and a bright, mouthwatering sourness with a clean, dry finish.
