    An obvious stop for any beer fan in Raleigh. The unicycle is a rotating hop beer so it's very hit or miss but worth the risk.

    Cool place with a fun cycling vibe. Get a wheel with their main five beers. Good stuff, but not knockout amazing.

    Tasting Wheel FTW! Get the Top 5 Beers because it includes Whitewall which will change your perspective on beer!

    The holy mole porter may just be the best porter I've ever had. If you haven't had videri chocolate and you live in Raleigh, you're missing out. That and a serious habanero bite make this beer great.

    Definitely a genuinely nice group of folks working the bar - the brewer/owner perhaps the most if all. Less snobbish than Trophy Brewing, for sure!

    Love the open building and the beer was pretty good! Got the flight but didn't know which was which so that was a shame

    Try their single hop series - Unicycle. Each batch is brewed with a unique hop.
