Ponysaurus Brewing

North Carolina is littered with breweries, making it easy to find a good pint just about anywhere. But it’s worth checking out Ponysaurus first thanks to its expansive lawn covered in picnic tables and umbrellas. They’re not a place that only focuses on hoppy options, as you can get a lot of choices like its superior biére de garde, Mexican-style lager, a cherry sour, and the brewery’s signature Don’t Be Mean to People saison, benefitting local LGBTQ organizations. Parking is easy, dogs are welcome, and you can order some pizza and garlic knots, making it an ideal place for a low-key Saturday afternoon.
