This week’s picture of the week is a shot of Durham’s latest addition to the craft beer world, Fullsteam, sampling some of their fine beers at the market this past weekend.  Did you know you can pre-order growlers of Fullsteam’s beer and pick them up at the Durham and Carrboro farmers market?  Check out their website for the order form and more info on Durham’s newest brewery.

This week’s picture features the release of LoneRider Brewing Company’s “Peacemaker” Pale Ale in bottles. They recently started bottling this beer  and it is starting to show up on local store shelves now.  I was lucky enough to stumble upon a few six packs at Taylor’s BP in N. Raleigh this week.  My new favorite beer, although I am still partial to their “Shotgun Betty” hefeweizen as well.

Aviator Brewing Company will celebrate the grand opening of its new brewery location in Fuquay Varina on Saturday May 1, 2010.  Sadly I have never had the opportunity to visit their original location, but I’m happy to hear they are going so well that they need a larger location.  I am looking forward to checking out their new set-up soon and pick up a growler!  I’ve found some of their beers on tap at various locations throughout the Triangle and think they make some great brew.
