Mardi Gras Madness

BY JULIA BAKER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNA-RHESA VERSOLA
hosted a Mardi Gras pub crawl in Pittsboro on Feb. 26. Participating bars, breweries, distilleries and bottle shops included 580 Craft Beer, The Beagle, bmc brewing, Carolina Brewery, The City Tap, Fair Game Beverage Co., The Mod, The Other Side, Postal Fish Company, Red Moose Brewing Company, Sycamore at Chatham Mills and Starrlight Mead. Revelers donned their purple, green and gold beads and boas as they enjoyed sips around town with a transit bus offering shuttle services. One group of 14 celebrants from Briar Chapel hired a stretch limousine for the night out on the town. The hostess at The Beagle gave out hundreds of necklaces and had to turn away customers because there was no room in the cocktail bar. Busy bartenders tried their best to keep up with demand. A kitchen worker at The Mod said they nearly ran out of pizza dough before the last order. Main Street Pittsboro
