List of Raleigh/Durham’s Top Breweries
Until we write our full guide to the Triangle, here is a list of the best breweries in the greater Raleigh/Durham area, according to Untappd, along with information about hours of operation and food options. This list will be updated frequently, but if you notice anything inaccurate on this list, or if you see that we accidentally left off a brewery that falls within the Untappd score range provided, please kindly let us know and we’ll fix it as soon as we can! We strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date source of brewery information possible. And, as always, before going to a brewery, check their website or social media to see if they have food trucks on certain days, food delivery options, or irregular hours that day.
Also, be sure to bookmark our website for new brewery hop guides on Mondays and new research lists for cities across the country twice a week– and those in North Carolina should check out our research lists for Asheville and Charlotte. And tell your friends! Cheers!
