Leave Us A Review

We strive to always serve you in the best way possible! That means we like to treat everyone who visits like they’re our own family. We also strive to make the best tasting and most consistent beer in the Carolinas. There’s no better feeling than seeing someone walk out of our NoDa taproom excited they found a new favorite beer, or leave with a smile after befriending one of our friendly bartenders! If you’ve ever had a similar experience with us then please consider writing us a short review. It would help us immensely by standing out from all of the other wonderful breweries in Charlotte. Thanks so much in advance, and we can’t wait to see you in the taproom this month!
