If you’re flight arrives or leaves from Terminal D at CDI, then this location is extremely convenient. They carry four of the Cottonwood and Carolina lines of beers on tap with an additional two taps used up on Bud and Bud Light. They do offer some of their seasonals and, depending on the season, some of their rarities. The food is not bad, but certainly not great and there are only eleven items offered on the menu. Currently, they share an indoor patio with The Great American Bagel Bakery which offers a host of deli-style sandwiches... on bagels, of course. The atmosphere is fairly quiet on this particular Sunday and the service is fast and friendly. They don’t seem to mind my taking up a table and electrical outlet during my six hour layover... but I’ve outlasted two shifts of waitresses, tipped well and kept the bartender busy. A welcomed sight when I stepped off the plane. Spendy, but it’s an airport and no more expensive than beer bars in NYC, Baltimore or D.C... regardless of location. They do have two, medium-sized flat screen televisions.

mmm, good beer in an airport. across from my terminal even. wow, that’s a rarity! four taps of cottonwood stuff plus some bottles.

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.
