    My girlfirend and some of her friends are road tripping to the NC coast and spending a night in the WS area. Any bottle shop recommendations where I can find HDR? She may also be stopping in Asheville on the way back.

    Stella Brew and City Beverage. No HDnR around here lately. Pretty tough to come by.

    Bestway in Greensboro often has it if that is not out of your way. They were out this weekend so it is best to call around first.

    Looks to me like HD'nR has shrunk back to the Charlotte area. Best bet is to go to NoDa or call Brawleys.

    ^ This. The well has been pretty dry here since around May.

    Thanks for the replies so far. Sounds like trying to get Zombie Dust here.

    It's all over Charlotte, definitely no need to limit your search to the brewery or Brawley's.

    Not outside the Charlotte distro area, check their web sight for vendors. I called the brewery today.

    Closest retailer to Greensboro? Don't want to go to the brewery if I can help it.

    The I-77 corridor is more bountiful, but for I-85 I would say TW University City.
    Its right off the WT Harris Blvd exit.
    They probably get around 10 cases every Wednesday. That is about what TW Huntersville gets, so I am guestimating. The TW Huntersville is right near my house and just this week they placed a two 4pack limit on HDnR. I don't know if this will be a city wide trend or not.

    Might want to give them a call to verify the limit and inventory.

    If they have a limit, you might be better off just making the drive to the Noda area and go to the brewery or Salud.

    Even if you make it to NoDa, they have currently are a 2-4pack limit as well. Salud just reduced their limit to a case. As other said, it hasn't been in W-S since May and it's doubtful we will get any more for quite some time :slight_frown:

    NoDa is brewing HDnR to full capacity of their hops contracts and can't keep up with demand. Because of that, they've limited their distro back to the CLT market. That said, pretty much all the LBS in CLT are getting it. I stopped in at Davidson Bev Shop last SAT and he had several cases that were canned 5 days prior.

    Bestway in GSO had the 'best' relationship with NoDa in regards to always having it on-hand (as far as Triad shops). They don't know when/if they will be getting any more.

    Good luck!

    I found a 4-pack at Earth Fare, South Charlotte. They had a lot left when I went.

    Planning my drive through Charlotte tomorrow evening, essentially so I can get my hands on this beer I hear so much about. If I stop at the brewery, I can definitely get a 4 pack, right? Probably a stupid question, but I know this stuff is extremely popular

    I haven't been down in awhile, but I'd say likely but not definitely. I would call first before I drove out of the way.
