World of Beer Coming to North Hills

worldofbeer World of Beer, a 13-store chain of bars out of Tampa, is coming to North Hills East. The bar will open in the base of the CapTrust tower in July. From their website:

A Craft Beer is one made with the enthusiasm and passion to be different, outside of the norm. A Craft Brewer is one that takes a beer from history and puts a spin on it to make it their own. A brewer that only uses high quality ingredients in the effort to create a beer that can be enjoyed by many. The concept behind beer started back in 6000 B.C. as a nutritional source. Now, beer has become a huge part of the world’s culture, the part that brings people together.

World of Beer is the “Craft Brewer” of beer bars. Whether you are an experienced beer drinker or someone who is just curious to learn, we have the right beer for you. At WOB, you’re not going to be looked down upon if you don’t know what an IPA is, but our staff will be ready to explain the history to you. They’ll also describe the style, give you a sample of one on draft, and then recommend a few others. Passion, hard work, and the thirst for a good beer is what drives us to bring in the best products from around the world. We started as a single bar that exposed great beer to a small community. We now bring communities together, to form our own “WOB Culture,” a culture that enjoys sitting around a table surrounded by good people, good music, and great beer.

No word so far as to how the bar will get around the state’s liquor laws which essentially require a bar to sell a decent proportion of food:alcohol or if they will have to be a “private club” requiring a membership.

From what I have heard, there are quite a few issues the owners/franchisers haven’t read up on regarding NC ABC laws.

NBA and Boobcats, who cares! Have been a season ticket holder with Canes since day one. Do not want even one regular season game in Charloote, NOT ONE (they can have their awful NBA team, we have three NBA teams in the Triangle that the Boobcats are no match for)

I agree, Thomas. I was relieved to see that these are exhibition games. I’ve always felt, though, that the exhibition games should be played at other venues in the region. It was do so much to gain interest if the Bobcats would come every other year to play a game in a Triangle college venue.

I thought the liquor laws only apply for those serving hard liquor.

Places just serving beer/wine don’t necessarily need to sell food and/or become a private club.

YEah – I think you only need the food / private club thing for hard liquor. I know tons of wine shops that sell wine by the glass but don’t offer food (and they aren’t private clubs). Same thing goes for the local breweries like Big Boss and Full Steam. They sell a ton of food but don’t offer any food.

EDIT : They sell a ton of “beer” and don’t offer food!

Ah. Good points, all. Come to think of it, it is rare that I find a beer-only bar, so I haven’t really encountered that aspect of the licensing.
Chris

Fullsteam does too offer food at their location! They have tamales from Dos Perros, the best peanuts ever from a church in eastern NC, Zappos chips, a cheese plate from the soon to open Reliable Cheese Co. in downtown Durham, and savory cookies from the South Durham Cookie Bakery.

Also, regular appearances from Farmhand Foods on Friday and Klausie’s pizza on Saturday.
