Picture of the Week – Beers on tap at Shucker’s Oyster Bar & Grill in Wake Forest

Beers on Tap at Shucker's

This week’s “picture of the week” is a quick shot of the various beers on tap at one of my favorite places, Shucker’s Oyster Bar & Grill in Wake Forest.  I hope to do a full blog post about Shucker’s in the future, but in the meantime here is a quick shot of their draught beer offerings I took while enjoying a beverage at their bar this week.

As you can see they offer everything from Bud Light, Land Shark Lager, Blue Moon, and Fat Tire to Big Boss Bad Penny Ale (which is brewed right here in Raleigh) and Red Oak which is made out towards Greensboro.

As always, please feel free to submit a photo for consideration for future “pictures of the week” by emailing me at TriangleExplorer@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Celebrate The “Beer Olympics” at Wine 101

This past weekend I stopped by to see my friend Joe, the wine aficionado and owner of Wine 101. Don’t let the name fool you, while grapes may be his first love, he also has a wide variety of specialty microbrews in the wine shop. I have even spotted a few growlers of local Lonerider brew in the cooler on occasion. In fact, Wine 101 is having a beer tasting event Friday February 12th called the “Beer Olympics”. For $10 you get to celebrate the opening ceremony and the lighting of the Olympic flame in Vancouver by sampling over 25 beers from around the world at Wine 101. (No, you don’t have to try all 25!). After an evening of beer swirling guests will vote on their favorites and in Olympic fashion award gold, silver, and bronze medals to the beer champions. (I’m pulling for the Belgians!). So if you like beer and are looking for a fun way to kick off the 2010 Olympics check out the wine 101 website for more information.
