All About Beer Magazine’s annual World Beer Festival in Durham has a special feel to it that separates it from other North Carolina beer events. For starters, All About Beer is based in Durham, and the weather tends to be gorgeous this time of year, making for a fine hometown party. The whole glorious occasion is backed by solid live music as well.
Children of the Horn offered funky stuff just as people were getting in the mood to dance, and Big Daddy Love welcomed attendees with a mix of rock, bluegrass and covers. But the biggest factor is the rush of fall beers that are ready just in time for the festival – recently brewed Oktoberfests, imperial stouts, and pumpkin beers add a new level of excitement to the proceedings.
I made sure to take advantage of the seasonal beer selections at the start of the day, having been shut out on a few limited brews last year. I still nearly missed out on one of North Carolina’s most desirable beers, Sexual Chocolate Stout by Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem, NC). I scored a sample right before the remaining supply was whisked away to be saved for the afternoon session of the festival.
