A brewery, like the beach, is a relaxing oasis that allows tired travelers to bask in golden hues, frolic in frothy spumes, and get in splash fights with siblings. Savor sudsy fun with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a brewery tour for two at Boylan Bridge Brewpub, plus two brewmaster-autographed pint glasses to take home (a total $25 value).

During 30-minute tours at Boylan Bridge, foam-enthused folk get to ogle high-end machinery and learn about the beer-making process from potable professionals. Keep all of your senses engaged by sniffing, swishing, and swallowing six freshly brewed beer samples such as the Pullman Porter, a dark beer with coffee and chocolate flavors, or the Gantlet Golden, a pale pilsner-like brew with flavors of hops and citrus. Once you and your tour cohort have discovered new favorites, grab a seat at Boylan's hand-crafted bar to treat yourself to an additional pint, or mosey out to the pub's deck to try to spot Waldo amidst the scenic city skyline. Although not covered by this Groupon, Boylan Bridge Brewpub also serves up a newly overhauled menu of tasty pub grub favorites.

• They have six taps and the beer menu is on a chalkboard. The bartender is very friendly and will let you try any of the beers before buying one. We usually get a flight and decide from there. Can't wait to come back and sample some more. – clocktap, Beeradvocate
• This is one of my favorite places in Raleigh. The food is great, the staff is awesome and the view is breathtaking. I've always liked Raleigh but after eating here a few times and really drinking in the city I've fallen in love. A must go! – Amanda R., Yelp
