What People Are Saying
from Google"What a gem this place is. Dana was awesome to have met and she was so personable. My wife and I really enjoyed this brewery and even got their colab with Burial beer. Give them a visit, guaranteed you'll love this place."
"First off: Pub Ale- Just do it and thank me later- deserves all its validation. Only can buy in a tall can. Other than that, the place is cute and cozy and I love their menu as it suits a variety of palates. Definitely would go back and try more."
"Enjoyable brewery! I’ve heard great things and it lives up to the hype. Had three beers while here; a kölsch, pub ale, and hazy IPA…everything was tasty for its style. Place has a nice mojo and the staff were friendly and attentive. I’d definitely visit again when in the area. Add it to the list of quality Charlotte breweries!"
"Came here with some friends to play music bingo and had a fun night! Service is good too! The inside is small and there is a little area outside with seating too. The first thing I noticed when I entered was the smell. It stinks when you walk in, but your nose will adjust after a few minutes. They don’t serve food but they have a surprisingly large variety of snacks you can purchase. You’re free to bring in outside food too. If you start a tab they hold onto your card, so don’t forget to close out and get your card before you leave! Kid friendly and lots of games available to play. There is parking in front but if it’s full you can park in the retail area of the apartment complex parking deck located across the drive."
"Def my favorite brewery in Charlotte! Always has a great selection of beers that can satisfy any beer palate. I really like their small batches where they make a less common beer such as the current schwarzbier. I also really like their seasonal offerings such as the current dunkel. They have lots of interesting events going on too and they do a great job communicating them on their socials."
