Picture of the Week – Fullsteam Brewery!

<i>Fullsteam Brewery ~ 726 Rigsbee Ave - Durham, NC</i>

Fullsteam Brewery

 

I took this week’s picture while exploring Rigsbee Avenue in downtown Durham. Fullsteam Brewery is one of my favorite Triangle breweries. They make some great craft beers and the brewery serves as a great community gathering spot. It is a great place to catch up with friends, grab a bite to eat from local food trucks, and catch live music on the weekends. It is a very family friendly spot and it is not unusual to see people there with kids and their dog during the day, while it transitions to a more mature crowd during the busier evening hours. Fullsteam has done so much to help revitalize the Rigsbee Avenue Corridor. It is a must visit for NC beer lovers and visitors to the area looking to capture the vibe of downtown Durham.

Picture of the Week – Raleigh Trolley Pub & Donuts!

Raleigh Trolley Pub

Raleigh Trolley Pub at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Last week I was driving by the Krispy Kreme shop on Person street in downtown Raleigh and spotted the Raleigh Trolley Pub pulling out of the drive-through window. Yup, these folks are cruising around in a 14 person peddle-powered  trolley pub, drinking beer, and enjoy hot donuts. Peddling the Trolley Pub around downtown Raleigh with friends is one of  my “bucket list” items for 2014.

Picture of the Week – Raleigh Sunset!

Untitled

We have had some crazy weather in the Triangle the past few weeks. One minute it is 10 degress and snowing and then just a few days later it feels like spring is knocking on our door with temperatures up in the mid-60’s. This week’s picture was taken on the mild evening before the snow we received this past Wednesday. I took the photo as I walked to my car located on the upper level of a parking deck in downtown Raleigh. In the distance you can see the silhouette of the West at North condo building.

Picture of the Week – Big Eastern!

Big Eastern Regional Barista & Brewers Cup

Tim Jones of Raleigh’s Jubala Village Coffee Competes at Big Eastern

This week’s picture captures some of the action that went down at the Big Eastern Barista & Brewers Cup regional coffee competition this past weekend at The Cotton Room in Durham. This event featured talented baristas from the entire east coast including a strong field of local competitors from the Triangle. I took the above picture while Tim Jones of Jubala Village Coffee in Raleigh was competing in the Barista competition. The huge crowd looked on while Tim presented his espresso drinks to the panel of judges. Tim did an incredible job and secured 4th place among the highly competitive field earning him a spot at the national barista competition to be held in Seattle this April. You can view the rest of my photos from The 2014 Big Eastern Barista & Brewers Cup Competition here.

Picture of the Week – The Station Patio Bar!

The Station at Person Street – Raleigh, NC

I’m kicking off 2014 with a picture of what might very well be my favorite new bar in Raleigh. I took the above shot during a recent walk along person Street in downtown Raleigh. I love the natural wood look of the outside bar featured prominently in the center of the patio of the new restaurant “The Station” at Person Street. They serve american pub style fare and have a bar inside and outside along with great patio seating. This is sure to be a hot spot of activity along the increasingly popular Person Street corridor.
