    You're going to have a hard time finding any of these beers on shelves. Most of them are seasonal or special releases and are hard to acquire by ppl living in NC.

    Of the ones listed that are core lineups or are currently bottled that you can find in CLT now,

    - HDnR
    - Oblivian
    - Freak (draft only)
    - Seeing Double
    - Jade (draft only right now)
    - Jam Session
    - Black Angel (you may find a bottle or two still on the shelf)

    Lindley Park I think is end of Sept-October. Event Horizon is November/December I believe.

    The only beer that's bottled and distributed that hasn't already been mentioned but should be is Pisgah Valdez

    I'll add a new one, Natty Green's Kriek Lambic.

    Went to the release for this last week and had it on tap, I'll say it might be better than the majority of bottled sours that WW is pushing out right now.

    The recommendations here are all excellent. As far as ratings go, a little Google-fu can help answer your question: Top Rated NC Beers*

    Of course, this is not a definitive list of the "best" NC beers (such a list would be wildly subjective), so use this information as you will.

    *NC beers with ≥25 ratings & rAvg≥4.1

    I just had Wicked Weed's, " Milk It" Stout. Amazing, rivals anything I've had including Founders and Deschutes. If you can find it, it belongs near the top of the heap of Stouts out of NC. It isn't overly sweet like Milk & Cookies last winter, more like Left Hand's Stout or Pisgah's Nitro Stout. Very drinkable.
