April was North Carolina Beer Month and I took full advantage of our state's great breweries. At the beginning of the month I got my "Beer Passport" as a way to track how many breweries I went to in the month. Each brewery had a stamp and prizes were awarded for 5 breweries (a keychain), 15 (t-shirt) or 30 (t-shirt and beer koozie). I visited 18 different breweries all over the state and I made some great memories.
Disclaimer: I only had one beer or a flight of samples at most breweries. You don't have to drink to excess to go out and enjoy these tasty beverages.
Here are a few of the highlights
I started the month off with 5 breweries on the first day. Steve and I did the Tour de Brew and had a fun time riding around the greenways of Raleigh.
