North Carolina "popped the cap" of a 6% alcohol-by-volume ceiling after a successful long-running grassroots legislation change in August of 2005, and since then this state has truly become a mecca of beer diversity and quality brewmanship in the south. North Carolina is really growing by leaps and bounds in the beer scene. And I'm not just playing a "homer" here. Brewery-wise, I'd venture to say that NC tops our home state of Ohio. Chew on that bit of info...
RateBeer is a consumer beer-rating website where folks can jot down their thoughts and reviews of beers and places they've experienced to be tallied into a particular score. They've just released their 2008 "best of" list, and various North Carolina establishments and brewers fared quite well. Beers and establishments throughout the entire world were rated and listed.
Here's the link to the Pop The Cap blog to read all about it:
