The annual event {{ahref="blogpost-13472156"}}showcases dozens of breweries and hundreds of beers{{/a}} and always draws a crowd. This year, those who brought a donation for the Raleigh Diaper Train could skip the line and get right to the tasting.
TriMark Digital set up a "Do Your Dootie" collection table, allowing anyone who brought a package of unopened diapers to get expedited entrance to the festival. A representative called the turnout "mind-blowing" and "amazing." TriMark shared video of volunteers packing a van with donated diapers.

The World Beer Festival is one of dozens of beer-themed events across the state to mark NC Beer Month.
