I'll be the first to admit, the addition of another brewery in Charlotte didn't excite me too much. There seems to be a brewery on every corner right now.
I was so very pleased with my experience at Divine Barrel. The décor is gorgeous: industrial, exposed beams, greenery and bright--it was inviting to be there. They have a cute area with a couple of leather couches to really relax, plenty of bar seating and quite a few tables to sit at inside. BONUS they have a great patio as well! I was really excited to see how much space was actually offered.
Let's talk about the beer. Lately I've struggled with a few local breweries to find a beer that I really enjoy. I'm not an IPA fan and that usually cuts my options down to the bare minimum. Divine Barrel had 7 brews on tap and guess what...they were all different styles! I tried the Petite Amie and loved it. I could have sipped on that all afternoon. We also tried the Situation Delicate and it was just as tasty.
In addition to beer they offer wine on tap and by the bottle plus some local favorites like Lenny Boy Kombucha, Trade and Lore Nitro Coffee and both Red Clay and Goodroad Ciders.
The service was really friendly--can't wait to go back!
