North Carolina's beer culture is quite active this month. Here are three things to check out:

Will I see you at the WBF in Raleigh?
David:
Boy I wish, but I'm recovering from some surgery so I will not be able to make the trip. (http://lyke2drink.blogspot.com/2008/04/back-from-where-ive-been.html)
I'll be back at the WBF in Durham come the Fall.
Have a good time, it is a great festival!

Oh, that's right. :-/ Hope the recovery continues to go well.
And thanks for the health wake up call.
