Middle James Brewing Co.

Big box of a room, with an equally large outdoor area with picnic tables. All located by a golf practice range. Large L shaped bar as you enter. Lively place with many large TVs ….making this a fine place with a group of guys. The offer about a dozen of their own on tap and maybe 1/2 of that in cans to go. Enjoyed some decent NEIPA and some marzen style beers here. For food its an extensive menu of burgers, wings, sausage and the like…plenty of bar food being pumped of this kitchen.
Taylor swift bingo/trivia in fool effect when I visited…lively hand fun crowd….interesting spot that’s worth a visit.

Large commercial building (looks like an old car dealership. On the north end of big shopping plaza. Taproom around back with large L-shaped bar seats about 25 with some tables about the room and on the porch out back. 13 beers on tap. Mixed 4pks. Friendly bartender. Cobb Salad was solid.

stopped here for lunch when driving through NC. building is adjacent to a golf driving range - there is a bunch of picnic tables outside, then inside there is a sizable bar and then a good number of tables for seating. About 15 beer on tap, a mix of styles. I drank glasses of their Kolsch and one of the IPAs, and also bought some cans of their Amber Ale to take with. food menu was sandwiches, burgers, salads.

Glad to see a brewery in Pineville! Good location, easy to get to, and it has adequate parking

the space is fairly large and wide open with an L shaped bar and a window to order food from. There are multiple TV's and ample seating. The space was sparsely decorated with no real character.

The food was decent even if a bit overpriced, we got a few items for the table to share and all were good. I do think they need to add a few lower priced options for those who don't want to break the bank for a couple of beers and an appetizer...

Now, on to the beer! for a new brewery the beer is surprisingly solid. Between the flight and the pints I ordered, I have tried all of their offerings. While not all of them knocked my socks off, they were all within style guidelines with no discernible off flavors. I particularly liked the Imperial Porter and the NE IPA, I also found the American Lager to be quite good (hard style to pull off). I look forward to seeing how they progress, and new beers they experiment with. Very solid for such a new brewery.

I have been a couple of times now, and both times the noise was an issue. The first time it was nearly unbearable, it caused us to leave early. The second time I noticed that they had installed some sound deadening panels, I think they could stand to add a few more as it was still quite loud in there.
