Belt’s Beer Garden: Raleigh Caps

Related Topics: Raleigh

Sitting just over two miles from NC State, in Raleigh, North Carolina, is Brewery Bhavana. The brewery’s name - Bhavana - is Sanskrit for “development” and is a very important concept in Buddhism.

Brewery Bhavana isn’t just a brewery though; it’s also a restaurant (with a focus on Dim Sum), flower shop, and practically a library as well, with a plethora of books lining their walls. Their beers are brewed with a “yeast-forward quality that requires conscientious restraint in malt and hop additions” and are heavily influenced by Belgian styles.

Sadly, I don’t have one of the classic Belgian style beers today…instead I have an Imperial IPA named Pulp.
