The take
It doesn't brew — it curates, which is the harder job — and by its own telling that curation earned a Best Bar in North Carolina nod for 2026. With the taps always rotating, there's no wrong night to walk in.
Questions people ask
Is there food?
Yes — through a rotating food truck schedule rather than a kitchen.
Is there anything for someone not drinking beer?
Yes — there is a dedicated wine menu.
