This is an incredible brewery in Charlotte. Triple C is a great place to come get a pint after work, play some foosball with some friends, or catch a game on their multiple big screens.
I went to Triple C for the first time yesterday (Independence Day) and was immediately impressed. I walked in overwhelmed by the big space that they had for the bar and tasting room. While leaning over the bar, pondering what beer I was going to sample first, a man standing to the side of the bar began to chat me up. I later realized that this was one of the owners of the place. He let me know that I should try a flight, so that I could get a good feeling for all of their different types of beers. He also let me know that they had a special release for the Fourth of July. The name of this beer was "Coming in Hop", and he informed me that it was an IPA that was aged in bourbon barrels.
Taking the owner's advice, my girlfriend and I got the flight and the "Coming in Hop" to sample and share. Triple C has a lot to offer as far as beers go, and no matter what style of beer you enjoy, Triple C will have something for you. In my flight, I tried their Porter, Smoked Amber, Greenway IPA, and Triple C IPA. They were all solid beers. I'm normally not much for Porters, but this one was smooth, drinkable, and not too heavy. It also still managed to have a nice full flavor to it. My favorite of the flight was the Triple C IPA, which I was informed was their best seller. My least favorite was the Smoked Amber.
The "Coming in Hop" was very interesting. It was an IPA with an alcohol content of 10.5%. You would never have guessed by tasting it though. It was not harsh or boozy at all. It also had a very oaky taste that hit you in the back of the throat. Not too hoppy, which was a little disappointing, but it is an interesting release that should be given a try.
As noted by other Yelpers, this place is filled with dogs. I don't see this as a negative. All of them were pretty well behaved and just added to the fun atmosphere, in my opinion.
They have a nice clean tasting room inside, which has plenty of seating and space to stand and hangout by the bar. They also have a nice area outside with picnic tables and umbrellas. This is an incredible spot to have a beer on a nice warm day.
As far as food goes, Triple C almost always has a food truck parked out front. This works out well for the brewery and its patrons. The brewery can focus all of its attention on the beer and the patrons get delicious food from local food trucks. The food truck that was parked out front when I was there was Vito's Pizza. Their food is delicious and they will be getting a review of their own.
Triple C is exactly what a brewery should be: a place with a great beer selection, friendly owners and staff, welcoming environment, good atmosphere, and a focus on the local neighborhood. Go get yourself a flight or a pint and check it out for yourself.
