When Ian VanGundy, the brewmaster at R&D Brewing, started home brewing in Apex as a teenager, there was no local beer scene; now, there are 19 breweries with a Raleigh address.
“Raleigh is a bit unique, a little more down-to-earth in its beer palate,” VanGundy says. “I’ve been successful making beers for the Raleigh area, because I agree with Raleigh.”
