    Hi fellow east coasters! I am travelling for the holidays to Pinehurst NC (50 min south of Raleigh) and my path south from MD will take me through Durham and Raleigh area. I was hoping to try some HDR as I have never had it, is this in the Charlotte area only or will I be able to find some around??

    Also, any other good beer suggestions I should be looking out for this week in the Raleigh/Durham area? Thanks!!

    I picked up a case and a half yesterday in Greensboro. It was canned on 12/11 and that was supposedly the last canning date for 2014. While it's almost 2 weeks old I'd say it's gonna dry up soon in a lot of the bigger bottle shops.

    Good luck. Hope you find some because it's fantastic.

    When you're in Pinehurst, check out Triangle Wine Co. A nice store with a large selection of craft brews. No HDnR there from what I recall however. So make sure you stock up in Durham or Raleigh on your way down.

    cheers!

    I didn't see any at Bestway yesterday, you might check out Potent Potibles in Jamestown, not too far off business 85.

    Bestway did have some. It was in the middle aisle about 3 cases high from the floor.

    Good list, I'll be on the lookout. Are these easy to acquire in The greater Raleigh area? I'm not trying to hunt for whalez or anything haha.

    Any stores in Raleigh or Durham in particular that still may have some HDR? Otherwise anyone have some they'd be willing to part with IP for some double duckpin?

    Definitely stop by Sam's in Durham, you won't regret it. Grab whatever Crooked Stave they have, I got a Surette when I was there and I'm thinking of when I can go back for another. If they have any Wicked Weed Capricious left, grab one as well.

    Given the holidays I don't think we'll see any until after the New Year. Fri is usually resupply day at Bestway, and i didn't see anything on the websight this morning.

    Charlotte gets distro every week, out of town retailers have to travel to pick up stock. With the holidays falling on Wed/ Thursday we probably won't see any till late next week, eithr that or drive to Charlotte, There's. TW not far off I 85, Brawleys always has stock, and lots of great beers as well. You'll have to take a drive to get some.
