    Wow! What a sh*t show! 2019 was my 8th and LAST WBF here in Durham. It has admittedly been 3-4…read moreyears since I last came to this one. My memories were awesome from past ones - there was fellowship and a bit of a party. I always go to the early sessions to enjoy the sunshine and hangout with the more serious beer drinkers/aficionados. There are so many good festivals out there - avoid this one - you have been warned. Now - if you're curious why, keep reading. 1) I got Early Admission tickets for 1 hours earlier entrance. It was until about 15-20 minutes after we were supposed to be let in that someone finally came to set up entry. What??? Completely unprofessional!! And they charged extra!! You should have someone ready to scan/take tickets long before you open. The guy who finally was setting things up was a real horse's patoot and was yelling rude things back at the irritated crowd. Then a blond woman, who I'm assuming he called on his cell phone, showed up all frenzied and tried to get things under control. 2) There were only 35 stations set up - only 29 of those were for beer. If my memory serves me correctly there were at least twice as many beer stations years ago. Participation has certainly dwindled and I'm sure will fall off a cliff this coming year. 3) The beer stations were mostly in the internal outside perimeter of the stadium where the concession stands are. Lame! The last ones I went to were either down on the field, the inside perimeter of the stadium, or both. There was no rain forecast. People want fresh air and sunshine not feeling sealed up in concrete! And if the answer/excuse is the Bulls don't want people on the field, please find another venue. 4) There were a lot of stands who were manned by people who had no clue about the beer they were serving. At one station I asked for the Wit - a snaggle toothed man said "The one in the orange can or the green can?" - the beer was also warm - yuck. There were at least two other stands that were completely unstaffed and had stacks of warm beer just sitting there (one of which was Greenman from Asheville). Other stations had one person running 2 tables and 4-5 taps. I pointed out to one guy (Elysium Brewing) that he had a bunch of product he was supposed to serving that was sitting on a wall behind another table. He seemed unconcerned and didn't even recognize his own clearly labeled product. He also made no efforts to retrieve it. Yikes! 5) The beer they did have was very generic. Really?! Was that an Anheuser Busch station I just avoided? Seriously, there were maybe 4-5 really good breweries there (e.g. Birdsong and River Rat) otherwise it was like walking through the beer section at Food Lion.... I really have no idea what happened to this festival - it used to be so awesome but now just plain...well you get the point. Jeez! Yelp didn't even want to participate - now that's saying something....

    Of the two WBFs -- Durham & Raleigh -- the Durham one is unequivocally my favorite. The ballpark is…read morethe perfect set-up (and doesn't have the scent of public urination that Moore Square does). October has the perfect weather... and so many great seasonal beers! It also seems less crowded than Raleigh's. Tents shield you from the sun (or rain), and keep things navigable... like all the NC Beer together in one happy place. The best part about WBF compared to other beer fests I've attended is the detailed program which can help you locate a brewery and see exactly what they have on tap. The second best part of WBF is just the sheer variety. You cannot drink your way through the entire thing -- but you'll have fun trying!

    I went to see Muscadine Bloodline at the Carolina Theatre and honestly, I can't recommend this…read morevenue enough! If you love live music but aren't a fan of huge crowds and overpriced everything, this theater is a total gem. First off, the vibe here is just cool and intimate. It's one of those places where, even if you're sitting a bit farther back, you still feel close to the action. The acoustics were great, every note and every lyric was super clear, which really made the performance feel special. Muscadine Bloodline killed it, by the way! One thing I really appreciated: the whole experience felt easy and relaxed. Getting there was a breeze and there's a parking garage directly across the street, so no crazy searches for a spot or long walks in the cold/rain/heat. You can literally be inside the theater within minutes of parking. Inside, the concessions were surprisingly reasonable. I was bracing myself to pay $20 for a beer like most venues, but nope, drinks and snacks were actually affordable. It's a little thing, but it made the night even better. Being able to sit for the show was also huge for me. The seats were comfortable, with a good view from just about anywhere. I loved not having to stand the whole time or jockey for space. It's honestly the perfect size, big enough for a killer crowd atmosphere, but small enough that it's not overwhelming. All in all, the Carolina Theatre just nails it for live shows. Great music, chill atmosphere, reasonable prices, and zero hassle. Can't wait to catch another concert here!

    First time going to Carolina Theatre to see EarHustle (IYKYK). The theater is lovely, nice…read moreintimate setting. We sat in the 4th row and gelt immersed in the performance but there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Parking was right across the street and reasonably priced. My only complaint was their concessions didn't have much variety. I should have done my research because I went to the event without eating dinner and popcorn just didn't do it for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more shows here.
