I don't even know where to start with this place. It was all amazing.
I love that it's located in an unassuming office park in Cornelius. I love that the exterior gives away nothing at all about the interior. I love that parking is easy and traffic is nonexistent. I love that it's totally biking distance from my house (for my husband, not for me -- though I am an adult who has successfully ridden a bicycle in the past, it seems my current bike-riding skills are more akin to the walking skills of a baby colt approximately a minute after being born -- sloppy but adorable).
I love that their beer selection is diverse and ever-changing. I love that they make their own wine (I can't wait to try it!).
I love the little details of this place -- the exposed wood rafters (probably more for decoration than function, but I don't care), the intimate ski lodge seating area and the high top bar area, the cool things for sale. I love that their beer flights are served in a board that looks like a clown's horn (you know, the thing they squeeze in your face when they're trying to be funny). I love their logo (both iterations ... I never figured out which one is more recent). I love that their bartenders are chatty but not too much so, and that they have good recommendations for anyone who comes in looking for something new to delight their palate.
So in case you haven't guessed yet ... I love Ass Clown Brewing Company. And you will, too.
