Ten unique wooden taps, plenty of exposed brick and wooden seats, and southern-friendly service make High Branch a beer geek destination in the growing community of Concord.
I was impressed with a tart peach ale called Candor with a Charlotte Craft Beer Week event at Wooden Robot earlier in the week, so decided to take a weekend excursion with the great weather. High Branch is directly across the warehouse complex from Cabarrus Brewing; High Branch is to Cabarrus as Birdsong was to NoDa (the original locations)...smaller, but making great beer and being both exploratory and ambitious with their tap list.
It is ok to bring an appetite, as there were two food trucks on site on a Saturday afternoon in April, funnel cakes and Master Bacon. High Branch has caught my attention as one of the best breweries outside of Charlotte city limits, but still in the metro area; not having been down to Fort Mill and Rock Hill yet, I would rate them up with D9.
