I saw this a couple days ago too. R&D brewing is making a specific Dreamville beer for the festival too.

They even got the right emoji on the label! 
I kid, and I’m happy for the collab, but could we stop calling all this candy flavored alcohol “beer?” Just call it hard lemonade or something.

Look out, that’s like half of Funguys’ business model. Sickly sweet to me, but they definitely have their fans even among beer snobs.
Oh yes, don’t I know it. Lol. Doesn’t matter to me what people like to drink, but calling a sweet orange creamsicle alcohol beverage beer is like calling grape moonshine a fine scotch.

The article states their taproom will have a launch party this weekend so I’m sure everyone can give their $0.02 after trying some. Should be a perfect weather weekend for chillin at a brewery IMO
EDIT Never mind I can’t read, it says next week not weekend. Either way, my statement on the breweries remains strong lol

Probably the previous Bishops salon space that has been empty for a few years. It’s the only other finished empty space in that area. The other empty spaces are unfinished.

It says it’s a cream ale. Where do you get candy flavor?

Right lmao - cream ale with NOTES of vanilla and mango… which means nothing. Anytime I read a beer label that says “notes of” something - it always just … tastes like. … beer to me.

Seaboard signed three tenants, two of which are new. Biscuit Belly and The Yard Milkshake Bar are the new ones. Eye Institute will be leasing space twice as large as their current office.

Yep, ‘first in Raleigh’ concepts from elsewhere fit Hoffman’s mold…

IMO, this is exactly what DTR needs right now to draw in more visitors. Our share of local businesses downtown is high enough as-is, and chains that already exist elsewhere in Raleigh (although still needed) won’t necessarily bring in the number of visitors to DTR that a new chain would.

Nice, I was in Louisville recently and ate at the Biscuit Belly there - it was pretty tasty. Not as good as Biscuit Head in Asheville, but good nonetheless.

Yeah, BiscuitHead would set a nice bar or Pine State from PDX…
Rolling concepts in from outside, but somewhat adjacent to the region is the approach I expected from Hoffman here at Seaboard and at Union Station, honestly.
Haven’t been to a Biscuit Belly. Hope they do well.

Psh we already have our own Pine State! And you can get some running shoes at the same time.

Yeah but if you’d had those biscuits from PDX - you’d know…
They’re Kakalaky folx, bringing that good good to the PNW.

I think so too, but there was also a hockey game tonight as well which took up a lot of parking spots. According to ESPN, PNC was at full capacity.
