## About

We love craft beer and hope you do too. We are here to provide a variety of exceptional brews in a casual family friendly setting where good times, community, and new friendships are formed around sharing a great pint! With a stage for live music, outdoor beer garden, and delicious locally sourced food, we know we will have something for everyone that visits us in Uptown Shelby.

Our beers are hand crafted in small batches using the finest ingredients possible. We take pride in sourcing our ingredients from around the world and from our own back yard in North Carolina. Quality ingredients are the start of a great brew. Beer is a lot like food, the better the ingredients the better the end product!

From the start we have been dedicated to preserving history in our area. The facility where we are located is over 100 years old (built in 1909) and was formally the Hudson Department Store. Wood throughout the facility was reclaimed from the old Dover Mill, at one time the largest employer in the county. Many of our local patrons have family members that walked and worked on the flooring we used.
