Making the annual hike from CLE to OBX on Sat June 21st. Will likely be taking the usual 270/95/64 route which passes through the western side of DC, Fredericksburg, eastern Richmond, Newport News, Chesapeake, etc. Anywhere I could find some fresh Maine beer? Lunch would be awesome if thats possible. Also would like to find a good Hardywood, Cigar City, Firestone Walker, and Terrapin selection. Feel free to throw in suggestions if there's anything I should be looking for that I'm missing here! Once I get into NC, would love to find some NoDa (Hop Drop, Hop Cakes), Wicked Weed, Westbrook, etc. Any chance of finding any of these along the short route I will actually be taking once I get into NC? I'm also down for an IP trade on the way there if anyone has interest in OH distro.
Where are you going in the OBX? Might help people give some suggestions for places to get the NC/SC beers.
This comes up pretty reguarly you'll find plenty with a search. Here is one: http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/pittsburgh-ba-visiting-nags-head.294806/#post-3674734 No WW, westbrook, or Noda in obx, though you will be able to get most of the others you mentioned coming through VA. I just came back from nags head yesterday from a long weekend actually - make sure you check bottle dates on IPAs when shopping at Trio & chips. *edit - I rarely make it down to hatteras, search may help.
