Looking for the perfect beer or cider to pair with your Thanksgiving turkey? Join us on Nov. 15 in Raleigh’s Whitaker Mill area as we taste a variety of beers and ciders, with an eye toward selecting a winner for the Thanksgiving table.
The locations – Lynnwood Brewing Concern and East Bower Cider Co. – are just a short walk from each other. We’ll meet Lynnwood Brewing Concern for beer flights, then walk to nearby East Bower Cidery. Weather permitting, we’ll hang out in the outdoor space that makes these three locations so appealing.
