Normally it is the policy of CP to visit a new local brewery at least twice before commenting here, but how better to encourage your visitation than to dash off a few bon mots regarding a new opening, particularly one in the vicinity of most of CP's (deliriously assumed) dedicated readers. Do not worry, intrepid digester of blogs - a thorough discussion of Carrboro's Steel String Brewery is undoubtedly on tap (thanks, I'll be here all year), but it seems a disservice to not quickly introduce this recent addition to the Triangle brewery scene
Steel String holds down a prime spot in downtown Carrboro, directly across from the Open Eye Cafe and next to the Wendy's - and who doesn't enjoy a festive Honeysuckle Saison along with their Triple Cheeseburger - and its friendly atmosphere (not that other NC breweries aren't friendly, but it was almost if at our first visit the staff was trying HARD to be accomodating) should keep it a popular hangout for some time. Its daunting location, less than 100 feet from Tyler's Taproom, with its impressive beer selection, is ambitious - but shows confidence. The brewery has lots of natural light (no, not Natural Light) and is highlighted by its custom guitar-shaped bar and high-quality Saisons that portend good things for the future. Stay tuned for a thorough review in the near future, but in the meantime if you are in Carrboro, stop in (park carefully; this is still sort of Chapel Hill) and have one or two.
