Trophy Brewing is one of Raleigh's best-regarded craft breweries, with a tap room on Maywood Avenue and a pizza restaurant (Trophy Pizza) across the street. The beers lean toward hop-forward IPAs and well-made lagers, and the tap list rotates regularly with seasonal offerings. The Maywood location has a comfortable patio that gets busy on warm evenings.
The pizza restaurant attached makes this an easy spot for a full evening: start at the taproom, order pizza from next door, drink through the tap list. The Triumph IPA and the Haze County Pale Ale are perennial favorites.
