New beer tour in Durham
Beltline Brew Tours is now offering a once-a-month tour of three Durham breweries: Fullsteam, Triangle Brewing Company and Bull City Burger and Brewery. The next tour is 11:30 a.m. July 16. Tickets are $40 to $45.
Beltline Brew Tours owner Will Holland says the ticket price includes all the participants' beer and transportation.
For a year, Holland has been doing private tours but gave his first open-to-the-public tour on a Saturday last month. Tickets are now available for the once-a-month Durham tours scheduled for the next six months. Holland hopes to start a Raleigh tour soon that would include visits to LoneRider, Roth Brewing Company and Natty Greene's.
Holland, who works for an investment bank, says he's a craft beer fan and home brewer who took a beer tour in Asheville and decided to start offering them here. For more information, go to www.beltlinebrewtours.com
