Meeting Location
CARBOY’s monthly meetings are currently held at the BB&Y Restaurant. BB&Y is located on the first floor of the Caswell Building at 3700 National Drive, in the Koger Center off Glenwood Avenue in West Raleigh.

We encourage members to visit BB&Y for a relaxed informal meal. Please let Nick now you’re from CARBOY when you visit his restaurant.

The Christmas Party scheduled for December 10th was discussed. It will be like last year with the food provided by the club and interesting commercial beers or homebrew will be brought by the club members. It will once again be at the Oxford Hunt Clubhouse in Cary, see below for directions.
