        <content>Any one have any results from this first full pop the cap weekend.  
 
In Winston, the local Whole Foods only had a couple of Chimays left when I came through on Sunday though the said they had a full complement including some from edenton brewing co.(Big Boss?)  They said they were stocking the new beers on the first day it was allowed.
 
Any reports on other locations(Greensboro, Asheville, Triangle, Charlotte) and what was available.
 
I'l probably check the local Total Wine and City Beverage   mid week</content>

      <content>These are all in the Triangle.
 
Tyler's Taproom in Carrboro has Chimay Triple (White) on tap, and reportedly has Three Philosophers and few others out of bottles. The Tyler's in the American Tobacco Campus has Cimay Triple on tap, but I've haven't asked about bottles.
 
Whole Foods Durham has all three Chimays.
 
I'll be stopping by the Blue Light tonight to see what they have in.</content>

      <content>More than any other brand, Chimay has seized the advantage and has become ubiquitous in a very short time.  The distributor was really prepared.
 
I'm not complaining, mind you, but I wish I liked their beers as much as I like some of the other Belgians (Westmalle, the Deliriums, Gouden Carolus, Nostradamus, St. Bernardus, Rochefort).  Those are the ones I am excited about seeing on the shelves.</content>

      <content>I am not that well versed on Belgians so I thank you for the shopping list:)  So far it has been mainly hoegard(sp), chimay and mannekin pis for me.  Thanks for the email btw I saw the post before it got deleted
 
I think whole food will be the leader in my area, they seem to take suggestions and comments to heart</content>
