Finally made it over to newcomer to the Charlotte brewery scene and wish I hadn't dilly-dallied, as this place ranks up there with Free Range and NoDa for a welcoming family-friendly environment with an excellent tap lineup. Granted, the portfolio was heavy on IPAs and pale ales in early October, but Resident Culture is strong out of the gate; fans of the beers at Heist and Salud Cervaceria will be happy here too.
A little further down Central than the more dense part of Plaza Midwood's food and entertainment area, the secondary temporary parking area was convenient. Good background live music for a Saturday afternoon and the Improper Pig food truck never disappoints. What I appreciated was the variety of seating options on the property and the fenced-in area with picnic tables was perfect for kids and dogs.
Obviously a new favorite for neighborhood residents and they pay attention to their surroundings with staff t-shirts in local team colors. You could easily walk between Legion and Resident Culture for a one-two punch, but the larger capacity is certainly appealing here. I enjoyed the sour I had and definitely appreciated the opportunity for 8oz pours. I'll be back and look forward to seeing if a particular beer gains flagship status as they develop over time.
