Tickets are available through the People-First Tourism website.
What’s included: Beer and cider or non-alcoholic options at two stops, the chance to learn about NC beer and Cary’s beer scene, and gratuities for bartenders.
Many folks have adopted the tradition of “Dry January,” taking a break from alcoholic beverages the month after the holidays. If you plan to practice being dry in January, have we got a tour for you! We’ll visit our usual stops in Cary – Bond Brothers Beer Co. and Bull City Ciderworks – but you’ll have the option of choosing from their selection of non-alcoholic beverages, ranging from non-alcoholic beer to mocktails to soft drinks, if that’s your preference.
Not participating in “Dry January?” No worries – you can still taste from the beers at Bond Brothers, then enjoy the pour of your choosing. We’ll also taste several ciders at the ciderworks across the street. When you register, please indicate your preference for a “dry” or “wet” tour, but you can still change your mind at the tour.
We’ll meet first at Bond Brothers Beer, 202 E Cedar St, Cary, then move on to Bull City Ciderworks. After our tasting, we’ll head for the popular Downtown Cary Park, where you can opt to purchase your own drink as we stroll through the park – a social district — and enjoy the scenery.
Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of Cary and some of its downtown attractions, including the park.
Must be 21 to participate. Tour is rain or shine. Wear good shoes for walking and clothing appropriate for the weather. Total walking distance is less than 1 mile. This tour is offered in partnership with People First Tourism and Visit Raleigh.
