TNBC FAQ

What is TNBC?

TNBC stands for Thursday Night Beer Club. We're a fun-loving, diverse group of goofballs in Winston Salem, NC that enjoy hanging out over a cold brew or two on any given Thursday evening. TNBC began in Winston Salem in Spring 2004 with a couple people and has grown to over 60 members today. Click below to read more about TNBC's roots.

How does TNBC work?

The new TNBC uses a voting system to determine where the next TNBC will be held. Members may vote once per day and every Tuesday the location with the most votes will be assigned as that week's TNBC location.

Next TNBC location

At the right you'll notice a box entitled "Next TNBC Location," with three location "contenders" and their corresponding votes. This is a realtime running tally of the votes that have been cast, with the winner on top. Every Wednesday morning the location with the most number of votes gets selected.

TNBC reminders

I recommend you sign up for TNBC newsletters using the "subscribe" button in the "TNBC Reminders" box below "Next TNBC Location" on the right-hand side of your screen. You can sign up to all TNBC newsletters, as well as be notified of replies to your comments, by editing your subscriptions (also listed as "my subscriptions" in your account menu). Learn more about subscriptions in the tips section on Email Notifications.

Voting rules

Currently there are no restrictions as to how many times an event may occur, so if you get tired of the same ol' TNBC spot get off yo' ass and vote! Everyone is assigned 1 vote per day, for a total of 7 per week. You may not, of course, sign up under different user names and submit multiple votes. Also, if a location is shut down or goes out of business the runner-up will be chosen as that week's winner. The closed location will be removed from the voting list the following week.

TNBC location reviews

TNBC locations (pubs and restaurants) are open for you to review and comment on! Simply click on a location in the list at left to access that location's page, where you will have the option of voting for the location as well as submitting comments and your own review.
