Located in a strip mall off old 70 this place is nice. There's decent seating indoors. No outdoor seating. There are 15 beers in tap when I was there. Decent quality. Staff friendly. They sell crawlers and 6 packs to go.

A cool little spot in a little bit out of the way area between Jacksonville and Morehead City - if I hadn't accidentally found a link to this place when searching for something else, not sure I would ever have happened upon it. There is a brewing section in the right hand portion/storefront and then a taproom in the left hand portion/storefront. The taproom is fairly basic with a small bar area and some picnic tables + a booth or two and there is a beer garden out back as well with tables an umbrellas. There was some music playing quietly and it was easy to carry on a conversation. The only thing that was surprising is that as a guy in my 40s, I was the youngest person in the taproom on a Sunday afternoon (not sure of the demographics of this town/area).

Beers were very well poured in those glasses that look like cut off bottles (or a can) for full pours of tasters. Beer were served with a reasonable amount of head as well as at a proper temperature. In addition to glasses or tasters, they offered 32 oz crowlers and growler fills.

Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive as well as being knowledgeable about the different beers they were serving and making recommendation.

They had a pretty decent range of styles when I visited - blonde ale, red ale, 2x APA, 2x IPA, 2x Stout, wheat, and a porter.
