NC Public House
AT THE NC STATE FAIR
Join us for the return of the NC Public House at the NC State Fair!
Nestled within the heart of the fairgrounds, the NC Public House is where good times flow as freely as the craft beverages on tap. The NC Public House will showcase dozens of breweries and wineries from across North Carolina. Indulge in the perfect pairing of our daily beer and wine offerings and your fair food favorites!
The perfect blend of fair magic and craft beverage bliss
Come and see us in the South Dorton Arena Lobby just across from the State Fair SkyGazer Ferris Wheel!
Grab your Beer+Wine tickets in advance or at the entrance—each one gets you your choice of one 16oz beer or two 3oz wine servings. Beer+Wine tickets will be $10 each.
The Guild will use a portion of the proceeds for research and marketing benefiting North Carolina’s craft beer industry. North Carolina is home to 400+ craft breweries and 185 wineries.
