    @Johnhuis put forward a solid list. Personally, even if you can find it, I would Drop the Hop and Roll with most of the suggestions made to date. As mentioned, it is a real roll of the dice quality / consistency-wise. Completely onboard with @KRubes Jump Night suggestion. I found it to be remarkably close to BCBS, just not quite as buttery. To bad you are only here for the weekend as on Monday Lynnwood Brewing Concern will be releasing a new batch of their Hubris DIPA. IMO, one of the best coming out of the State these daze.

    I noticed on Facebook that Crank Arm is releasing BMX Barrel Aged Barleywine bottles on Saturday. Would it be worth it to try to pick these up?

    Thanks for everyone's suggestions. We ended up going to Trophy on Friday night for pizza and then. The beer was decent and the pizza was outstanding.
    On Saturday we hit up Crank Arm. We all samplers of 5 beers, and a pint. Their beers were mostly solid. also picked up their barrel aged Barleywine BMX to bring home.
    I hit up Tasty Beverage on the way back to the hotel, as it was very close to Crank Arm. Picked up a 4 pack of Wicked Weed Pernicious.
    Raleigh seems like a great beer town.

    I agree - I thought Brah'klava was damn good. The pistachios in the finish were just perfect. I bought three bottles - sending two out in trade. Cheers!
