On the friendly fringe of downtown Raleigh, this taproom is where the beer list reads like a mixtape—IPAs with swagger, stouts with soul, saisons with a sense of humor. The brewing tanks hum in the background like industrial art, and the bartenders pour with the confidence of people who know they’ve got the goods. Big garage doors swing open to let in the breeze, and the crowd is a perfect mix of hop-head regulars, curious first-timers, and neighborhood dogs who clearly think they own the place. It’s part small-town hangout, part beer geek’s playground, with just enough city edge to keep things interesting. Cheers!

This place was awesome! Visiting from out of town and wanting to find a great local brewery, and stumbled upon this place. Josh was so helpful, very informative and went out of his way to find beers that we would enjoy. So much we brought them back to Florida with us. Definitely recommend for people looking for great craft beer and a good time.

Our experience started off fine, we were told the only available seating was outside, and that was totally okay with us. We were seated at a table with no cover, which again, no big deal… even though there were multiple covered tables nearby marked “reserved.”
Right as our pizza arrived, it started to lightly rain, still no issue. I asked what happens if it starts raining harder, and was told, and I quote, “I don’t know, we don’t have any space inside… I guess we can bring you a box quickly.”
At this point, I was mildly annoyed but still willing to roll with it. We asked for the check and a box. Then we watched the two white couples seated at the other uncovered tables get told that actually, there were open tables inside and they could move in if it started raining.
So, let me get this straight: they get offered cover, and we’re told to basically deal with soggy pizza or leave. To make things even better all the “reserved” tables were empty the entire time we were there.
So If you enjoy overpaying for pizza while being treated like an afterthought based on your skin color, this place has you covered. Otherwise, there are plenty of restaurants that won’t make you feel unwelcome just for existing.

Small, quaint microbrewery right near NC St and the Lonnie Poole Golf course. I love these beers and my fave is Trophy Wife! Cheers.

Thjs is such a fun and inviting place!!! The bartender is the absolute best! We came in on 7/10/25 for the first time and we felt like regulars! We will definitely be back!

Their beers were excellent, and I really enjoyed the taproom area – it's small but very comfortable, and the outdoor seating is a great bonus. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciated that they are dog-friendly, which is a must for us. Plus, having a food truck regularly is a nice touch.
I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Raleigh so I can visit again!

Yesterday we met friends at this brewery. We planned to sit outside because we had a large group. When we arrived, a heavy downpour started and all the visitors had to go inside. There was not much space inside, everything was occupied. In the room behind the glass there was another large room where huge tanks and barrels of beer were located, it was very impressive. The rain quickly ended and we went outside. I tried a medium dark beer, I really liked it, My husband ordered a classic lager, he said it was ordinary. The prices are average. The staff is cool, very sociable, cheerful. There was a food truck outside, our friends ordered food there, but we did not eat, so I can not rate it. I recommend.
