As far as breweries go, I think this is one of the best in Charlotte. Here's why:
First, the beer. The selection is pretty broad, from a solid IPA to a coffee porter. Something for everyone to enjoy!
Second, the space. The inside is huge, with a couple of bars and a ton of group and smaller tables. The outside patio was recently redone and a great place to sit outside with your dog and some friends and play a little Uno. It's also so great that you can stay on the patio and can order beer from the outside bar.
Overall, a super fun place to have a birthday, meet some friends and have a few drinks!
