The program begins with a “Pop the Cap” celebration on June 27, featuring North Carolina brews and hors d’oeuvres, reconvenes Aug. 15 for a Beer 101 workshop and concludes on Aug. 29 with a five-course Brewery Ommegang dinner. Tickets can be purchased individually, or—for a $15 savings—as a package. All tickets include admission to the ballgame. Call 252-8999 for reservations.
