Sugar Creek Brewing Company is my favorite brewery to visit when I am in the Charlotte area. The brewery is decorated in a victorian fantastical nautical theme and it is spacious with plenty of seating indoors and outside. They have a nice variety of styles, not just pale ales and porters, and while the menu is not huge, the quality is top-notch. My favorite is their Mocha Java Porter, it tastes just like drinking ice coffee and a has a nice caffeine kick.
