For awhile, NODA was solidly in second place when it came to my rankings of Charlotte breweries (behind the amazing Birdsong brewery). Their new beer, Hot Pistol, might help them edge out Birdsong in my mind. This pint of heaven is made with chocolate, raspberries, and habaneros. Its like eating a spicy raspberry truffle. AMAZING. Their coconut porter, Coco Loco is also excellent. They have a run club on wednesday nights which sadly, I have not been able to attend thanks to my work schedule, but Ive heard its a lot of fun. They dont serve food but they often will have a delicious food truck parked out back (The Tin Kitchen is the best one). They dont stay open as late as most bars so go early so you can have your fill of yummy beer before the 10 pm last call
