Beer happines!!!! NoDa brewery is officially open!!! I checked out their grand opening event. This is no secret. The place was PACKED. I also went back the following day and it was much more manageable.\n\nThe details.\n\nThe Pro's\n*Amazing beer. The most important aspect of a brewery. Check out the coconut porter. Honestly, I would not be raving about this place the amount that I am if the beer was just \"meh\". This beer is good. \n\n*On Tuesday's they said that they will have a small batch of experimental beers. This is the most exciting news ever. They said that they will post on twitter and facebook what type of beers they are brewing- so you know in advance if you want to check out the limited small batch of awesome brew. Amazing.\n\n*The tour was very informative and wasn't snotty. You can tell that they are excited about this. It is hard not to become enthusiastic with them.\n\n*They did an excellent job designing the inside of it. They gutted out a majority of it and obviously put in a lot of effort to it.\n\n*I see them around at a lot of events in Charlotte. They are always so professional. You can tell that they are in it to win it. I like that kind of ambition.\n\n*They have a TV- for the sporty people. The TV is not dominating though. Smart move, NoDa brewery.\n\n*They have this excellent garage door that can be opened up. This makes the tasting room feel larger and creates an excellent atmosphere.\n\nThe Con's\n*No music. This creates a tense environment. Music is necessary. Even bad music (I did hear a rumor that they plan on having live bands)\n\n*No food. A huge pet peeve of mine. When I'm drinking the booze- I want something to snack on. Food trucks would do well here. (They did have pretzels on Sunday. Perhaps they had them on Saturday but the masses ate them before we arrived)\n\n*The parking is...sketchy. It is hard to know exactly where to park. It also has a creepy/industrial feel to it. \n\nI am DELIGHTED about this new addition in NoDa!
