Wilmington NC beer destinations

I'll be there later this summer. Front Street Brewery looks good; any recent experience?. Is there anywhere else to visit? I see Lumina Winery/Brewery on the map. Looks like an interesting combination of casual wine and lager beer. I say casual because the Carolinas obviously are not grape country, but they have fruit wines and blends. Anyone have any experience with Lumina? Also, are there any fun beach bars in Wilmington? We will be staying in Topsail, which is pretty quiet, and would like to visit some fun beach bars, event if it is a BMC situation.

Also, any tips on boat tours, rentals (kayaks or otherwise) and BBQ?

Thanks, and happy drinking and fishing!

Front Street is good but is more of a restaurant than a bar. There are a lot of bars in downtown Wilmington. As for Wrightsville Beach, there are around 6 bars, all fun.

Thanks for the heads up. We will definitely head to Wrightsville as Topsail is a little tame. I really want to check out Lumina: Lager and wine looks like a good combo.
