Three Spirits Brewery

Good beer, excellent service, and they’re dog friendly! I’ve enjoyed every visit to their facility.

The fella and I stopped in after a progressive beer Saturday that included OMB and Sugar Creek, and even though Three Spirits was just down the road, the vibe couldn’t have been more different. We got there around 5 p.m., and there were maybe two other small groups in the tap room. The place is huge, so it felt really empty and quiet.
Our bartender was really nice and helpful, and the fella got a flight. (I was driving, so just water for me.) Sadly, he wasn’t too impressed with any of the offerings. His general outlook is that you at least have to be able to do an IPA well, and this one didn’t live up to his standards. It doesn’t help that Three Spirits is so close to some other awesome breweries that’re pretty spectacular, and it’s hard not to compare it to them.
As one of the new kids on the block, I hope they can continue to get even better, but for now, we’ll stick with some of the other breweries in town.

The fact that Three Spirits Brewery has easy access from the light rail is a huge plus. I was super excited to venture out and try this place since I am an avid brewery hopper! I was quite disappointed in the beer profile. The beers were very mild. I tried all but 2 of the beers they had tapped and wasn’t impressed by any of them. The customer service was my favorite thing about my experience. The place is huge and offers outdoor seating, little cubicles for a romantic date night and even have a menu that you can order from (a bar down the street relievers).
It’s worth trying once and collecting your own opinion… We all have different palates and you may end up loving the brewskis they offer!

I’ve been in a three Spirits a couple times and every time the staff is always warm and welcoming. I like the fact that it’s very close to my house living on Tyvola and South Boulevard almost walking distance it has a great atmosphere and Really Really Good Beer!

This place is great! It is located conveniently right around the corner from my office so I have become sort of a regular. I enjoy all of their beers, and it’s tough to choose just one. The space/​patio is nice and they have free arcade games (pinball and multi-​game arcade machine) and board games!

On the way from work to Camp Bow Wow to pick up my dog and stopped in for a flight. Really solid beer. Blonde ale with apricot was super clean and just enough apricot. All other beers I’ve tried were really solid. Slowly getting their name out there but for a first experience it was spot on. Julian is a great bartender also.

1^st visit, sat. Afternoon. Live acoustical set + attentive staff. Tried the I.P.A…me likey ALL.
@ 6 p.m. live music transitioned to MANAGER’S choice. After a trio of screeching BAD songs
that I care not to know who penned or sang them, I requested that since all customers were more into CLASSIC ROCK (all were 35 yrs. +) This was rec’d by staff… saying it was THE MANGER’S pick, In short… when the staff pressed him… he begrudenly gave up HIS control of the coveted controller… as he said…“it’s your funeral” WOW… unless u r related 2 the owner., I hope the next thing u say is «would u like fries w/​that. Doubtbif he could even spell HOSPITALITY…

There are so many breweries popping up in Charlotte it’s getting hard to keep track. I met some friends here and I have to say I’m happy they chose the spot to meet up. The beer was great. They have a great selection and I was told more to come. The staff was friendly and awesome. I love the space and you can bring your dog which is always awesome. Looking forward to going back and drinking some more.

Great looking bar and front. Beer was great! Enjoyed a flight — top pick was oatmeal stout. Attended for dog event so lots of pups. Staff behind bar very friendly and sociable.

Came in, tried everything they made, out of 7 offerings via convenient $ 2/​five ounce pours, 4 were, what I’d dub, full pint-​worthy. Those 4 were: Helles, Honey Porter, Southern Bliss and Red Moon Rising.
None were bad, none were high ABV. Many were very light, which isn’t bad but generally I’m used to a heavier mouth feel with a stout or porter. I look forward to their future.
Beautiful space, quiet and social places to settle in. Nice staff. They had live music. Odd hours.
Overall, had a nice experience.

Three Spirits is one of the newest breweries in Charlotte. I drive by it all the time on my alternate route home from work. It’s on Old Pineville road between Tyvola and Woodlawn roads.
The theme of the brewery is from the 3 spirits of A Christmas Carol. You’ll notice the theme from the outside. It’s like you’re going into an old English pub on the side of an old industrial building. Inside the theme continues at the bar in the back.
The space is rather large. There are tables through out and windows overlooking the brewing equipment. It looks like they have plenty of room to expand if necessary.
As for the beer, I had a flight of the Southern Bliss, Agate Have it, Honey Porter, and Sweet Memories. Can’t say any of them blew me away but they were all easy drinking beers. Sweet Memories is an oatmeal stout which was the best of the bunch.
Still It was worth trying and the staff and owner were really cool here.

We have been to almost all the breweries in Charlotte, not including Noda, and this place was one of the top few. They display what’s on tap very clearly with all you need to know — ABV, IBU, cost of a flight, pint, growler and growler refills. Also their paraphernalia were top notch. The name comes from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. They definitely did their homework and I love that they have both men and women designed shirts.
Loved the feel and look of this place. They have sections where small groups can gather with some privacy. They have comfy chairs in these areas and can even be a great place for date night taking advantage of great beer without all the noise that often comes from a pub.
They have cute games you can play. Just ask. We played Pass the Pig. They also have a pinball machine in the corner that you can play for free. The evening we went they had live music which is a nice touch.
And for the first time I have ever experienced 100% Sanitation! Yes, this place is that clean including the bathrooms. They also take care to wipe the glasses before passing the goodness along. I dislike it when I pick up my freshly poured pint and end up with sticky beer smelling hands.
So you ask why with such a glowing review I give this brewery 4 stars (if I could I would give 4.5 stars), I believe a brewery should have at least one high ABV, at least an 8 in the mix. With that said, their beers were very good. We settled on the IPA. We will definitely be back!

This is my 19^th brewery to visit in and around the Charlotte area. I’d been planning to come by earlier but they have odd hours and I hate traffic in that area. Regardless, I am so glad to have found it on a Friday night. They were only open from 4 to 8 PM, so this was kind of an end of the workday pre-​party stop for me and my wife.
We showed up about 6PM. It wasn’t crowded, so we were able to sit at the bar. First and foremeost, I love the setup they have. Their restrooms, which are very nice, are at the entrance. Love that. Get to have a pitstop on the way out. They also have little secluded/​cubby hole sitting areas lining the wall so a group can hang out without being disturbed by others. It was a nice touch.
The bar area was great. There was decent seating and several tables and chairs in that area as well. A band was setup when we were there and the music was nice and not over bearing. As far as their display menu, I have only seen one better display in Charlotte. They have all the details about the brews on the menu, including ABV, IBUs, costs of flights, growlers, refills, etc. Well done. I like to know every detail upfront and Three Spirits does it perfecty.
That being said, while they expertly list their selections, I think their current 5 or so brews that are on tap are a bit weak in the ABV arena. Their highest ABV was a hop (Ain’t No Hop Steppin’) and was just 6.5%. Gotta have at least one beer that hovers around 10% for those who don’t like to consume massive quantities. I did partake in two of the hops and because the IBUs were just right, it hit the spot without leaving that horrible aftertaste that most brewers can’t figure out when working with Hops. The owner/​brewer/​surgeon got that one just right. I also had a shot of their very popular Red Moon Rising. That beer was very tasty and reminded me of Shiner Bock. But, like Shiner it is 4.5% ABV. Great chaser beer or Saturday afternoon game day beer, but a little weak for those who have limited time or don’t care to drink all day.
I love the service and cleanliness of this place. They have 100% on their sanitation rating. Their bathroom was so clean, I felt bad having to go. And their bartenders were always cleaning. No spot, drip, or glass ring was to small. They must have a Always Be Cleaning motto. I like that.
Another fun thing they do here is offer fun little entertaining games for patrons to play. They gave me Pass the Pig. It’s a fun dice game that is addictive. The batenders all have their favorite games so there are lots of choices. What was neat about the games was it makes you put down your phone and interact with friends and folks around you. You forget how much time you spend on the phone until you’re playing a fun game with your friends. It is also a great way for the staff to interact with visitors. Liked that a lot.
One thing I did ask about when I got there was how they decided on their name: Three Spirits Brewery. Apparently, the owner is a big fan of Charles Dickens, hence the Three Spirits name which hails from A Christmas Carol. Love the name, although at first glance I thought the place was a distillery and not a brewery.
All in all, I really like this place. I think they have one of the best setups out there. They have great entertainment, fun games, a great atmosphere, cool shirts and growlers, an awesome staff, and decent beer.
What would make me give this place 5 stars you ask? My suggestion is to make the hours a little more consistent, and get at least one higher ABV. I’d even be fine with a 7.5 or 8. The amenities and staff make this place great, despite an unremarkable beer selection. Need to step up the beer a bit more to be in the game with the big boys. A few more TVs would be nice too. Aside from that…
Mucho Kudos. I’ll be back.

Hold up — there’s a new brewery in town! I don’t consider myself a beer snob, but I am a fan of local brew. This place has GREAT beer. I especially love the Sweet Memories stout! It has just the right amount of richness. The IPA is quite crisp and tasty as well.
This place is also great for an after-​work get together or a gathering of old friends. They are located right off of the light rail line, too, so it is easy to get to! It’s also a great place to stop in to on your way uptown.

This place was very spacious and cute! They had plenty of servers and we didn’t have to wait at all. The beer selection was good and they had a really delicious lighter beer that tasted like raspberries that I loved. They are dog friendly which is always good. They don’t serve food but there is a food truck outside which looked like good food. The only complaint I have is they close way too early on a Fri and sat but besides that it’s a great place to relax

My husband and I decided to check out Three Spirits Saturday evening as it is super closer to our home and just opened up fairly recently!
I loved the concept behind the brewery. Additionally, I thought the entrance and bar gave off a great pub style feel. The brewery space is very large! They really can do a lot with this space in the future just due to size! I personally wasn’t a fan of the partial walls… they just didn’t have any appeal to them whatsoever. However, I do like the thought behind the walls. I think you could create that private atmosphere with good use of furniture (couches, tables, etc). I did see that they had a nice outdoor patio space. However, since it is freaking freezing in NC, I didn’t check it out.
There wasn’t a ton of customers there but I think the tap room may have been slightly understaffed as it took a little bit to get drinks. We decided to get a flight and got the Red Moon Rising, Sweet Memories, the pilsner, and a fruit flavored one. Now, I completely recognize that everyone has different tastes in beers and I will full out admit that I am a Hop Head. I love hoppy and full bodied beers. Unfortunately, none of these beers did it for me. I am hoping that as they get more established, they will get a bit bolder with their beers.
Looking forward to seeing what is in store for Three Spirits. Due to the size of the tap room, I’d love to see more couches, bar tables, and maybe a dart board or so in there!
Great job guys on your start into the Charlotte craft beer scene!

Three Spirits — okay guys — get your lettuce and rotten tomatoes ready for this one — you may start throwing them at me.
The space — large — typical brewery space. I do love how the front was designed to look like a British pub = nicely executed. I do like the existence/​concept of the private booths/​areas to the left of the tap room but they seem a bit disjointed and a bit of an eyesore.
The staff — very eager to please — helpful with selections. One male bartender was getting feedback on likes and dislikes, and I’m guessing he may have been an owner/​brewer.
Of the four I tried, my favorite was Red Moon Rising with Sweet Memories coming in second. Don’t get me wrong, the beers weren’t bad, they just didn’t stand out. There’s a lot of stiff competition out there. It’s hard to compete with places like NODA, Triple C, Unknown, Sycamore and Birdsong.
I’m hoping they will step up their game and start making some outstanding beers.

I’m very impressed! I tried 5 of the (8?) beers on tap and truly enjoyed each one. They have something for everyone. Three Spirits thought about all the details before opening their doors. From the pub façade to seating arrangements and beer selection, it’s an all around great experience. Dog friendly, too! We were surprised to find a food truck here. Will definitely check social media before our next visit to see if there’s a food truck on site so we don’t eat beforehand. I think the truck there was called Spicy Wagon. It smelled amazing. Anyway, check this brewery out! It’s within walking distance from LYNX Woodlawn Station so you have no excuse not to.

From the exterior it looks like an old English Pub and that theme carries on once you walk into the brewery as well!
I love the curmudgeon’s corner! Sometimes I don’t want to be bothered by other people in the bar and want to drink alone. This is a perfect spot to do so.
I can see hanging out here on the patio anytime of year, or in the bar looking into the back at the actual brewery set up.
I have to admit I am not a fan of beer. But I went there with my wife to see what it was all about. My wife had the Southern Bliss, and absolutely loved it. I had the Honey Porter, it was very good and not heavy like most beers I’ve tried are.
I recommend going and check them out! They are open from 4 – 8 on Thursdays and Fridays and 2 – 8 on Saturdays! Let’s welcome Three Spirits Brewery to Charlotte with open arms and a thirst for their great beers!

A brand new brewery in the ever-​expanding brewery scene in Charlotte. There are six beers on tap with only one IPA, which is great.
The place is clean with high ceilings and concrete floors. It’s in a space that looks like it used to be a warehouse. Cool looking bar that has a saloon type vibe.
I ordered the Agate Have It brown ale. The fella had the honey porter. Our tab was $ 11 for two beers. Each were easy to drink with moderate ABV. This brewery doesn’t have some of the high gravity offerings of other breweries.
Flights were also an option. The main reason for the four stars is the beer descriptions. Beers were compared to Miller and Coors or Yuengling. If I wanted a Miller Lite, I’d pick one up at Publix. Additionally, one of the beers was reviewed as one «women will gravitate towards.» Gentlemen, women drink all types of beers. Make your menu less presumptuous.
