State of Beer

First and foremost, my wife and I did not eat here. But we were in town from Los Angeles when we went. The beer selection was absolutely crazy ! The folks there were also so damn nice. Awesome experience !!

came for a comedy show and want to come back again for their beer and food. they have a vast canned beer selection and a decent draft selection as well. the sandwiches were omg so good. highly recommend stopping in for one.

Went in for an adult snack plate aka a charcuterie board and a pour of the Haw River Pound of Flesh. I know it sounds gross at first but once you realize it is referencing WATERMELON, doesn't your mouth immediately start watering? The beer was great; however, it wasn't the best pairing for the contents on the board, so I requested a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and performed the happy food dance in my chair for the remainder of my lunch. Everyone enjoyed their selected entrees and drinks--perfect place for a quick sit down. This establishment is also owned and operated by the same staff as Young Hearts Distilling, State of Beer, Trophy Brewing & Pizza, and Trophy Brewing & Taproom. I have yet to try these out, however, everyone raves about them!

What a find! Great beer and wine, amazing food as well. The bartenders are friendly and very willing to help you find whatever you're looking for. Highly recommend.

State of Beer has such a variety of both beer and wine for purchase. We stopped by after church on a Sunday evening and sat outside - there is PLENTY of seating. You can buy wine by the glass or beer on tap. They do not serve dinner, but have some light bites (pimento cheese plate and hummus plate) to snack on in the evenings. I heard they have some pretty good sandwiches during the day, so I will definitely be back to try! We got the hummus plate and it was plenty food for two people and only $10!!!The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. It's a cute little spot tucked in the middle of true downtown Raleigh and glenwood south - walkable from both locations.

This is one of my new favorites. Great beers on tap and the menu is simple but consistently solid. This place does not serve your average "bar food". It is a great place to go for a snack in the afternoon or a sandwich for lunch. They have an ample outside sitting area that's great for watching the hustle of DTR. We love the Adult Lunchable and the tin of tiny fishes.

Pretty cool beer place on the northern end of downtown that I passed when walking back to my hotel. They had a few beers on draft with a list you can either scan a barcode or see at the bar. They also have a LOT of cans from which to choose as well. The prices on the cans that were marked (some were not which is a pet peeve) seemed pretty high for a single beer or multipack, so I ended up just getting a wheat draft from Trophy which I enjoyed very much. They gave me a sample first which was nice as well. Staff was friendly! Outdoor seating was nice too. This was a beer only visit as I think the kitchen was closed.

Great beer! Also had the humus, which for one is a meal in itself. And they provide plenty of crackers and veggies, which is a plus.

Great soup, great sandwich, great cider on tap. The only thing that could take it up a notch is great chit chat with the manager...and I had that too. Sincerely enjoyed my stopover here on a beautiful Fall Sunday. I will return

Had the hot Sicilian Sandwich with a side of pasta salad. No drinks. The sandwich was delicious. Bread was toasted and buttery, great mix of cheese and meat. Pasta salad had a mustardy dressing that I enjoyed. Service was friendly, but there was a long wait. Only downside I found was the wait. Significant selection available for beer and wine.
