Despite being someone to frequent Charlotte Breweries, it still took me awhile to make it out to Free Range. The location isn't bad being right along N. Davidson, on the way in and out of downtown NoDa (technically it's in Villa Heights). It also isn't far from Amelie's so if you wanted to get a pastry to go with your beer, I bet you could. They also had a food truck just outside!
The atmosphere is relaxed and quirky. They've got old school bus seats lined up along one wall for benches. They also had a cool mural on the wall. The tiled tap wall is also pretty cool.
As for the beer (the important part), I ordered the Bobs Pure Intentions, a 6.6% coffee brown ale brewed with Pure Intentions Coffee beans. It was AMAZING! Just as a coffee brown should taste!
