Downtown's Raleigh Beer Garden—the Guinness World Record holder for the largest draft beer selection under one roof—is sponsoring the Raleigh Beer Trail this year.

And with that, they've given you a FREE, automatic stamp on the 2020 Passport! (So you just need to visit four breweries/get four stamps for your first prize.)

Not required, but recommended: Start your Beer Trail experience at the Raleigh Beer Garden. Give some Raleigh area beers a try and decide what breweries you want to visit!

Raleigh Beer Trail T-shirt artwork by local artist and musician George Hage

We wanted to do something special for the 2020 T-shirt.

So we worked with our local friend George Hage, who's done work with J. Cole's Dreamville Festival, International Bluegrass Music Association's World of Bluegrass and more events, plus whose T-shirts have been rocked by guitarist Chris Shifflet (Foo Fighters) and drummer Fred Eltringham, who played drums on Willie Nelson's 2020 Grammy Award-winning song "Ride Me Back Home"—just to name a few highlights

We love what he created for us, and we hope you do, too!

Sumit Vohra

Lonerider Brewing Company

Ten years ago, Sumit Vohra quit his day job and started doing what he was passionate about: crafting high-quality, great tasting ales. Today, Lonerider Brewing Company is hailed as one of the country's best beer-makers.

“We have a West Texas-themed brewery in Raleigh, making a German-style Hefeweizen, run by a guy from India. I think that explains the diversity of what Raleigh is about.”
