I was in Charlotte for an interview and after spending my morning getting interrogated with tough technical questions, I needed an afternoon drink (or 3) to get my good mood back. I'd bookmarked a handful of breweries but was bummed to find that none of them were open as early as I was ready to go tasting, so when I saw that Heist was open early AND had food, I headed straight over and found myself a seat at the bar.
I didn't know much about their beer before arriving, but was delighted to discover that they do a great balanced Belgian. Louisa, my awesome bartender was happy to let me try a few things, recommend new options based on my preferences and even told me I made the perfect choice for lunch in going with the mac and cheese flatbread (carbs on carbs, you guys!). I tried most of what they had on tap and selected three different pints, my fave being the Out to Pasture. Nothing was two sweet and they did have an american style IPA on tap for those of you that prefer a hoppier beer.
It was busier than I would have thought for Friday lunchtime, so good for them for being busy. If I ever find myself back in Charlotte I'll totally be back for more yummy beer, pretty good food and awesome service.
