Beer
Tonya M.

Another local brewery in the books. Apparently this isn't their main location, but I was glad to try the brews there. Inside is pretty small and some of the tables are communal seating. The bar area was also very small. They didn't offer any food options, but it's a great place to stop and grab a beer or glass of wine after work. The bartender was super friendly and let me try a couple of things before I decided on a pint. They also do half pours

Forgotten roads is a nice hidden gem on North side of town. They have a nice cozie location that Is comfortable inside and several tables outside during nice weather. They have a great selection of bourbon and the bartenders are very knowledgeable about what they have. I tried a couple of their craft beers and they were new and taste good. Price is average and they run weekly specials like half off IPA on Wednesday s, which is what I had. I would go back.

Wife and I were walking around this area at North Elm Village for the first time and we happen to bump into this amazing little brewery. What a fun spot! Cozy inside with a patio outside, great craft beers on tap with plenty of choices for non-beer drinkers as well. I had a hazy IPA which was crisp with plenty of taste. My wife had a cider since she's not a beer drinker and was pleasantly surprised as well. They also have wine and liquor with plenty of choices. Events to bring the community together all week long, including trivia nights, live music, bourbon Thursdays, and even bring your pet nights. The staff was unbelievably friendly as well. We will definitely be frequenting this place often.

Citra Sunshine

Finally!! Just what this shopping center needed. FRA is a welcomed addition to the area and a really cool spot. Conveniently located near many dining options, with plenty of parking. The beer selection is extensive, and there is also wine and liquor available. I tried the Citra Sunshine and the Rhubarb Boysenberry. Both delicious! The inside is extremely cute and cozy, I love the decor! There are also games available for patrons to play while enjoying their beverages. It's pretty small so if it's busy, plan to sit on the nice open patio. Our bartender was super welcoming and friendly. I love that there's trivia on Wednesdays and Veteran night on Thursday. Will definitely be back!

This area sure needed a nice Brewery with great owners, staff and people. Forgotten Road Ales (FRA) is owned and managed by veterans, what an honor! They offer great beers, ciders, wines, snacks and they also offer coffee beans roasted by veterans as well. The place has an amazing vibe, very cozy, is just perfect to stop by for one or two or three cold ones right after work. Plenty of space to park in a very cool area at the North Elm Village Shopping Center. FRA is just between Panera and Barberitos on Pisgah Church. 100% Recommended!

You can chill at the bar, hi tops, tables or even huge lounge style couches and chairs. They have ping pong, games, and tv's to keep everyone entertained. Great line up of craft beers as well. Went with their flagship hazy and it was perfect. Will be back to try some more!

Every pour feels thoughtfully crafted, from crisp and refreshing lagers to bold, juicy IPAs and playful sours that practically do a little dance on your taste buds. The creativity here is truly on par with the best craft breweries anywhere. Flavor combinations feel adventurous without being gimmicky, and each beer tells its own delicious story. You can sense the passion behind every pint, like a team of happy brewmasters rooting around for the most delightful ingredients and turning them into liquid gold. The tap wall itself is a whimsical feast for the eyes, colorful, quirky, and bursting with personality.

This is an inclusive place for everyone, family, adults, college students, the urban crowd as well. I love the setup!, It looks to be an old garage or something because of the sliding doors but you can't tell on the inside. They have great drinks and a huge selection of beer if you're into that. They also have games and TVs with plenty of seating and an area for corneal in the front. It's very close to the public parking lot so not a far walk at all and it's in a great area. The bathrooms and the entire establishment is pretty clean which is always appreciated. They don't have food but they have a food truck that stays parked in their lot with some pretty decent food. I will definitely stop by Hidden Gate if I'm in the mood for some chill vibes and it's a great place to talk with friends. I enjoyed it!

Inside there's plenty of seating and TVs, so it works whether you want to hang out casually or catch a game. The beer selection is excellent, with something for everyone, and the flights make it easy to sample around. It's the kind of place where you can stop in for one or settle in for a few. One of the biggest bonuses is the permanent food truck, Savoury Eats Kitchen, right outside. That deserves its own review, but let's just say having that kind of food right on hand makes the experience even better. Great atmosphere, wonderful beer, tasty food, and a lively location downtown. Hidden Gate Brewing nails it.

If you've never been, the tasting is a fantastic experience. You receive a complimentary tasting glass to take home and get to sample their handcrafted vodka, gin, and whiskey while learning about the distilling process.

The Christmas whiskey is limited time but it was my favorite! We also tried the vodka and gin which was cool because I thought they only had whiskey. I love gin & thought it was delicious.

I'm not sure if they have cocktails but I'd love to go back and see. Such a fun place - they also have really cute tshirts!
