We pride ourselves on keeping you in the mix — so take it from us, a week from today you’re going to want to raise a glass.

We’ll be celebrating Drink Up Week sponsored by PBR Cary from Monday, July 22 to Friday, July 26, tipping our hats to the buzziest entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages across Raleigh.

We asked local businesses to participate in Drink Up Week by offering drink deals for our readers. Local businesses poured their all into the task — and the deals, well, they’re flowing.

Finally, a toast. We want to give a huge thank you to the local businesses participating in Drink Up Week 2024 and to you, our readers, because we know you’ll be out there supporting the beverage industry. We’ll see you at the coffee shops, breweries, and wineries — drinks in hand, of course.

Legacy
  • Fromer Wolfpack football coach Monte Kiffin has died at the age of 84. Kiffin led a fierce defense at NC State and went on to coach for six NFL teams and won the 2003 Super Bowl as the Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator. (The News & Observer)

From the editor
It’s peak tomato season, and I still have yet to grab some big heirlooms from the farmers market. Let me know which varieties to try; I’m a fan of Cherokee Purples and Beefsteaks, but I’m looking to really up my caprese salad game. Give me your recommendations — bonus points if you have a favorite farmer.

Psst... Anyone else as excited as I am for Postino Wine Cafe in Village District?
