2010-01-23T15:56:00.000-08:00

With so many great home brewers around town, it’s about time that somebody put ‘em under one roof and threw a party. Later in the year, some of Raleigh’s bars and restaurants are getting together to premiere Raleigh Beer Week, a week long celebration of all things hops. To kick it all off, the Raleigh City Museum, Busy Bee Cafe, Raleigh Beer Week and New Raleigh present Homebrewed Raleigh, a beer fest featuring 6 of the best home brewers in town on Saturday, March 6th from 1:00-6:00. There will be food, music, and, of course, painstakingly crafted delicious beer.
More info to come on the brewers, bands, and Raleigh Beer Week later, but we wanted everyone to go ahead and save the date.
Tickets are $20 for members of the Raleigh City Museum, $25 for non-members, and go on sale February 1st. You can purchase tickets in person at either the Raleigh City Museum or the Busy Bee Cafe, or by calling the RCM at (919) 832-3775.
