This is currently my favorite beer from there. I've legit never had a bad beer from Hi-Wire till this day. Not a huge fan of Lagers, but even their lagers are good. What is you guys favorite brewery? Does anyone have any other brewery's around the Triangle I should try? I do love a good sour, and a good NE Style IPA. 

The Triangle is the weakest area for locally brewed beer, although the distribution is some of the best in the state.

You local best bets are Barrel Culture(somewhat hit or miss - specialized in sour beer), Funguys(also hit or miss, do some good NEIPA's), Bond Brothers(only really their BA stouts/barleywines and some of their bottled sours, most of the rest is meh). If you expand out a bit, Haw River is great(lots of great sours and Belgian style beers), Incendiary is fantastic(mainly stouts), Casita is phenomenal(mostly do everything well). 

Luckily there are so many fantastic bottle shops to drink great beer from all over the state.

Yeah man, we got a few here in Durham that are good. Sams Bottle Shop is the poo. Thanks man, I'll have to check out those spots. Or order from there and pick it up. Since that's what we can do nowadays.

Beer Study Durham is good too. State of Beer in Raleigh is great, although most of the great part is when they will be back open again "for real."

If you like NEIPA's. Sams and Beer Study dropped their portion of the Equilibrium drop for the area(brewery in NY). Really fantastic NEIPA's. I believe they have a TIPA that is a Trillium collab too.

I do. I'll order some NEIPA's from there and pick them up this weekend. I found what you were talking about on their website. Ordering it now. 

They have some of the brewery's you were talking about in your post as well. Will for sure pick up some from there.

I know the Beer Study peeps fairly well and am pretty active in the Triangle beer world. Even from afar when I am working.

Very cool man. Berry Study is one of the spots the wife and I love to venture to, well. When poo was normal. 

Now we just go pick up beer from there, and Hi-Wire mostly. That's partially why we love Hi-Wire so much, it's just easy to order online and go pick it up.

We went there last week for a pick up, and they had a ton of people inside drinking without their mask on and I said. Yeah, no thanks.

You were not wrong. Great Equilibrium beers from Beer Study. Had one just now. Stellar. 

Other Half has really blown up in NY and beyond for their NEIPA's but the truth is that a lot of Equilibrium's hazy IPA's are really just better.

Got a DIPA and another IPA yesterday. Pricey but good poo man. You pay for quality, no doubt. 

Part of that is the distributor is a little pricey for those guys. Bad part about the three tier system for pricey NEIPA's. Brewery price was probably around $16-22/4 pack at the release.

      Cam Newton wouldn't trade MVP Award for Super Bowl Ring

      Interesting for sure, I think I remember him saying if he could go back he’d tear every ligament in his knee to jump on that ball. I get where he is coming from on this, most people, especially social media, won’t take this well.

      I think, at 8, there will be a player someone covets.  These top teams have few needs, so they might package a first and second and maybe a future pick to move up to take a player they covet.  Gonna think out loud here for a second-- Offensive tackle--I went to a site (randomly) that lists team needs in prioritized order. ELEVEN teams list OT as a priority.  (Ravens, Browns, Bears, Jets, Niners, Seahawks, Bucs, Chiefs, Packers, Commanders, Patriots, Rams).  IMO there are 2 elite OT prospects and probably 4 to 5 with first round grades. I see Sanders and Ward (QB), Hunter (CB), Carter (Edge) and Johnson (CB) going in the top 7--Graham or TMac are probably likely to go next.  The Jets pick 7 and will not be picking a QB.  They will probably take OT Will Campbell.  At that time, there is one elite OT left and ELEVEN teams that need an OT.  Granted, some will address this need in free agency, but how many starting OTs are available?  Now, consider you are the Chiefs, Seahawks, Packers, Bucs, or Ravens.  They have little to no cap space, so grabbing a stud OT in free agency is unlikely and there are not any.  You also realize that 10 or so picking before you need an OT.  Once the Jets take an OT---the Panther phones will be ringing--teams will target Kelvin Banks, OT Texas.  If they wait, they could hope that Josh Simmons (Ohio State) falls to them, but they are unlikely to wait for the unlikely.  So the Panthers will have to ask themselves, "Would I take the Commanders' first and second and the 2026 second rounder for our first rounder?"  We do not have a second rounder in 2026.  We'd pick 29th and 61st in 2025.  That would give the Panthers 3 picks in the first 61 picks.  So who might be there? Let's say that Graham (DE Michigan) is available at #8.  Most say "No brainer."  But the Phone rings offering you two second rounders to move back 21 spots in round 1.  You have a lot of needs.  What could you get? Estimates, based on Player Rankings: 27. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon 57. (from Rams--not part of trade)  Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College 61. Maxwell Hairston, CB Kentucky (assuming Mike Jackson leaves--Hairston has been eye opening at the SR Bowl practices) So basically, to give up on Graham, you get a good CB and a good DT and a future second rounder in a draft in which you had no second round.
