Carolina Beer Company (Charlotte Airport)

October 4, 2008
Typical airport bar. Four taps, but they also carry a wide assortment of the bottles, which aren’t listed until the back of the menu. The experience isn’t anything special save for the fact you’re at the airport and actually have a decent beer in your hand.

I kept waiting for this place to open when I was passing through Charlotte and it finally did this spring. Only 4 house taps and about the same number of their own bottles, but food is good and service friendly. First time I was there at about 11 AM and I was the only one in the place, but mostly depends on the flight schedules in Concourse D.

Good for an airport brewpub. Had four of their own on tap and about a half dozen of their bottles. The waitresses seemed to know what they were talking about - even heard the words high gravity mentioned when describing their Frostbite. Food is a notch above the typical Airport grub fare of overpriced sandwiches etc. Had Lime Infused Grilled Chicken and Brie - very good. Seek out if you have an hour to kill in Charlotte. Decent wide ranging selection of their brews - something to please all palates.

Stopped at the place during a layover at the Charlotte Airport. I was very surprised to see this place in an airport. Has a small bar where they serve 4-5 of the Carolina brews on tap with many other bottles in the cooler. They also have a nice sandwich bar where they make the sandwiches to order. Waitress had quite a southern draw and the place was pretty crowded at 9:00 in the morning. I had a sampler of 4 of the cottnwood beers for $8. Very small place overall and of course it’s because it’s in the airport. At first I sat at the bar but the waitress insisted I sit at a table. Not too bad and a decent place for ratebeer guys to go sample some local brews if they are passing thru.
