At ExitEvent, we want you up on all the topics trending and news happening in the Triangle, so here’s a feature we run after each month ends recapping the most popular 10 stories and posts on our site. They’re ranked below based on page views.

No surprise here, but you guys like beer and energy drinks. Everyone is pumped about the Rocky Mount Brewmill and Mati Energy – they won the month by a bunch. We also had some interesting venture capital news and commentary, and the first two chapters of an active angel investor’s new book. ChannelAdvisor CEO Scot Wingo’s column continues to be a hit (He’s taking questions for future columns. Just email news@exitevent.com.). Readers also seem to be into an online publishing option besides WordPress, the topic of our third most popular post from July. Catch up on all the top stories in the list below.
