Triangle Brewing Co. (TBC) was a microbrewery owned and operated entirely by business partners (and high-school friends) Rick "the Brewer" Tufts and Andy "the Bloke" Miller who, in 2005, resettled in Durham, North Carolina from Connecticut. [1] Andy Miller had extensive local restaurant management experience, and Rick Tufts apprenticed at Flying Fish Brewing Company and was an avid homebrewer long before founding a new brewery. TBC began selling beer on July 4, 2007 and was the only microbrewery in Durham. [2] The arrival of a microbrewery in Durham is arguably[ according to whom? ] part of the current[ when? ] downtown art, building, and cultural Renaissance.
TBC did not plan to be cast as a Belgian style brewery when they developed their first beer, the Belgian Strong Golden Ale; rather, they wanted to enter the market with something notable and different. [3] The goal of TBC was to produce balanced, full-flavored, yet highly drinkable Belgian and American style ales. TBC was distributed across North Carolina, primarily in the Triangle Area (Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties) but as far as Asheville and Charlotte. TBC did not pasteurize any of its beers. TBC also produced a small amount of cask ale in firkins for use at special events. TBC was one of the first NC breweries to offer its flagship beers in cans.
On April 30, 2016, Triangle closed due to operations issues and heavy competition from the growing North Carolina micro and craft brewing industry. [4]

Beer in Norway has a long history, stretching back more than a millennium. Until some 200 years ago, most farms where it was possible to grow grain south of the Arctic Circle, brewed their own beer. From the early 20th century brewing was industrialized and home brewing was restricted. Significant consolidation in the brewing sector reduced the number of major breweries to just a handful. With the exception of the farmhouse ales, most beer styles brewed in Norway trace their ancestry to central Europe.

Each island generally brews its own unique pale lager, the occasional stout, and often a non-alcoholic malta beverage. Contract-brewing of international beers is also common, with Heineken Pilsener and Guinness Foreign Extra Stout being the most popular. The beers vary between the islands to suit the taste and the brewing method used.
