FAQ
Finding Lonerider
Where can I buy Lonerider beer?
Lonerider is in grocery stores, bottle shops, bars and restaurants across North Carolina. Stock changes store by store, so use Find Lonerider: enter your zip code, pick a beer if you have one in mind, and you'll see the places near you that ordered it recently.
Where can I buy Lonerider Spirits?
In North Carolina, spirits are sold only through ABC stores. Ask your local ABC store for Lonerider Spirits by name, or give them the product's NC code (Sherry Cask Finish is 66273) and they can check stock or special order it. Lonerider Spirits is also behind the bar at both Hideouts.
Can I buy beer or spirits online or have them shipped?
Lonerider doesn't sell online. Find the beer in stores and bars near you, and the spirits at your local ABC store. For a special request, get in touch.
Why can't I find my favorite Lonerider beer anymore?
Some beers retire. The ones that rode off are in the Legends, and a few still make guest appearances at the Hideouts. For what's on shelves today, see the lineup.
The Hideouts

The beer and the spirits
What is Lonerider's most awarded beer?
Sweet Josie, an American brown ale. It won Raleigh's first gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2010, and Lonerider has more than 50 awards across its beers.
What does "finished in sherry casks" mean?
The bourbon spends extra time in casks that once held sherry after its main aging, which adds dried fruit and spice. The full explanation is in the Field Guide: cask finished whiskey.
How old do I have to be to visit the site or the Hideouts?
21 or older. Please enjoy responsibly.
