Drafts of the Bull: Craft Beer and Food Tour

Drafts of the Bull: Craft Beer and Food Tour is a guided walking route through downtown Durham that stops at three distinct local breweries for tastings and food pairings. Over two and a half hours, a guide leads the group to Clouds Brewing, Crank Arm Brewing, and Flying Bull Beer Company to sample German-inspired beers, bike-themed brews, and classic pub fare. This event is designed for adults aged 21 and older, making it a perfect candidate for a couples' date or a parents' day out. The tour departs from the entrance of Brightleaf Square, where you can find paid street parking or use the nearby Gregson Street deck. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring your ID, and plan to arrive fifteen minutes before the 1:00 PM start time. It makes a solid weekend pick because it combines a structured activity with a relaxed social atmosphere. You get to taste local flavors and learn about the city's history without having to coordinate reservations or driving routes yourself.
