Let me start by saying...I think the reason it is called Four Friends is the fact that the owners have taken the time to create deep rooted relationships with the people that purchase their finely developed hand crafted beer - from bar owners to the local dude just buying a growler or two. The owners are very proud of their brew - and they should be - their beer ROCKS!!
I enjoy their beer so much, it has started to affect the establishments I choose to take my money to around Charlotte - I will go to the Four Friends website to check out what places are carrying their beers and I will go there with some friends and enjoy food and of course Four Friends Beer.

Their business/brewing location is a no frills, gets the job done kind of place located in your run of the mill office park, but when you walk in on Saturdays from 2-5, you are greeted by a cool style pub bar with the smiling happy faces of two of the Four Friends owners, Jon & Beth. They make you feel like this is your place too and that is one of the things that makes them so special!
Last night I sampled the Extinction (IIPA), unfiltered Queen City Red (yum yum!) and an exotic specialty batch of Mango & White Chili Powder (I think that is what Jon told me?)
I will go every Saturday that I can make it! This is a great launching point for any Saturday evening activities around town.
I see nothing but great things for this local craft brewery - and remember...SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES LIKE FOUR FRIENDS!!!!!
