    Wait so is there a BIG trophy? Because that's the pizza restaurant and the only one I know of.

    The original brewpub on Morgan. Sorry I've just heard a few people refer to it as that and have started saying it.

    There is a newer, larger brewery on Maywood. Been there for a little bit now.

    Also, not sure if it has been mentioned here or not yet, but Lynnwood is releasing Hubris on Sunday, August 7th (National IPA Day). Bottles and draft at the brewery.

    I tried Texas Rig! from Southern Pines tonight for the first time. It's no Hubris or Freak, but it holds its on in DIPA scene. I'm really digging what SP is doing these days.

    I like Southern Pines in general, but did not like Texas Rig at all.

    They're actually doing a Wooden Robot tap takeover: http://www.heybeernc.com/draft-growler-list/ Looks like What He's Having is already kicked, though.

    The newly canned Heist Citraquent'l is so good it needs its own Thread! It is now the King of NC! And, it holds its own with any NE style IPA! Straight hazy Mango Hop Juice!

    Having my first can right now. I had a crowler a few months ago but I had forgotten just how good this is. Definitely one of the best IPAs in the country.

    I have to say I was quite disappointed with all the wooden robot I had at the brewery, including their IPA's. They all seemed without body and lacking any flavor. But that peach apricot sour a few weeks ago was AMAZING.

    Yes, the cans were only available at the brewery. It can occasionally be found on tap around town.
