Wow! Stumbled upon this place and have to say it was AMAZING! Though it was a slow Monday evening (7pm what do you expect) I could really see this place being a hit. Beer is great, service was on spot, & space is very cool. I will go back for sure. Already looking forward to my next beer from here.

The interior of the place is pretty nice, clean lines and well decorated but it is in what looks to be an abandoned building that is in the process of the being torn down. Comfortable seating at the bar and outdoors with at least one food truck when I visited. Mixture of folks from old timers to hipsters which was nice and about evenly split between men and women.
Beers were well poured though everything I saw was being served in pint glasses - I prefer some nicer glassware myself but it is not the end of the world to drink from pint glasses. Beers were served at a proper temperature and with a reasonable amount of head.
Bartender was the brewer and he was quite friendly/engaging - happy to discuss the beers and the changes to the Raleigh beer scene over the last couple of years. Attentive but not lingering. Only strange thing was that they charge for water - WTF???
They had 5 beers available when I visited across a handful of styles, mostly English + German influenced. Would have liked to see something a little more summery since it was a very hot day when I visited.
