Live in Northern Illinois suburbs with the Illinois and Southern Wisconsin distro. Staying in Wilmington next week for work. I know Carolina Ale House has a decent selection from the other times I have been down there. What else should I check out and where is a good place to buy bottles? More of an IPA person but have been known to enjoy stouts and other styles.
Go to Cape Fear Wine & Beer they always have an awesome tap list. Also go to Lighthouse beer & Wine, they always have an awesome bottle selection.
