The NoDa brewery circuit gets an excellent addition - think Resident Culture meets Suffolk Punch / Hyde Brewing.
Parking might be the only issue people could complain about, as they have pretty much everything else needed for a chill afternoon or evening. Food truck? Check. Shaded outdoor seating? Check. Urban chick industrial vibe with hanging plants? Done and done.
The beer here shines, with appropriate tulip glassware and some attention getting tall options. Variety and in-vogue options like NEIPA, both a Brett and traditional saison, Berliner Weisse, grisette, and a slightly smoky porter for the late winter / early spring. Check their website for the most up to date options (currently 9).
Happen to stop in late afternoon on a Sunday during March Madness (Elite Eight) and they had the game projected on a big wall. I don't want to hype this place up too much, but I hope this place continues to thrive with the increase of visitors on the Blue Line light rail. Make it a triumvirate with Bold Missy across the street and Salud Cerveceria half a mile down in central NoDa. Hey, they even have nice bathrooms.
