We have been to almost all the breweries in Charlotte, not including Noda, and this place was one of the top few. They display what's on tap very clearly with all you need to know - ABV, IBU, cost of a flight, pint, growler and growler refills. Also their paraphernalia were top notch. The name comes from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. They definitely did their homework and I love that they have both men and women designed shirts.
Loved the feel and look of this place. They have sections where small groups can gather with some privacy. They have comfy chairs in these areas and can even be a great place for date night taking advantage of great beer without all the noise that often comes from a pub.
They have cute games you can play. Just ask. We played Pass the Pig. They also have a pinball machine in the corner that you can play for free. The evening we went they had live music which is a nice touch.
And for the first time I have ever experienced 100% Sanitation! Yes, this place is that clean including the bathrooms. They also take care to wipe the glasses before passing the goodness along. I dislike it when I pick up my freshly poured pint and end up with sticky beer smelling hands.
So you ask why with such a glowing review I give this brewery 4 stars (if I could I would give 4.5 stars), I believe a brewery should have at least one high ABV, at least an 8 in the mix. With that said, their beers were very good. We settled on the IPA. We will definitely be back!
