Catwaba Brewery

Ok Catawba please distribute the Strawberry Milkshake Beer to the Rock Hill SC/Charlotte NC area it was delicious. I have a long story about how I was looking for a strawberry beer a few summers back and nothing…I had no idea you guys had Strawberry Zombie you were sold out so I still have to check that out but the Strawberry Milkshake was excellent and I’m not the biggest IPA fan but I do believe the lactose added truly transformed it for me! Great job!

Great Beer, Awesome Scene, and Oh So Good BBQ Next Door!!! Brew -- had a flight and got reg White Zombie (always a classic), Strawberry Zombie, Peach Sour, and Blackberry Sour. All were good, especially the Peach Sour!! Scene -- tons of space available in many parts of the brewery. Always helpful and friendly in helping with suggestions. Service -- friendly and helpful with suggestions of their wide variety of beers to choose from. Bonus -- Buxton Hall BBQ is next door and amazing!! The smell moves into Catawba and makes it even better. Grab some BBQ next door, perfect beer food!! Summary -- one of the best and staples of the South Slope!!!

Catawba always offers a wide range of beers, which is great when you go with a group of varying beer preferences. I especially like that this location offers a lot of small batch brews! This time they were serving a lot of fruit smoothie sour beers, and fruit cobbler beers. I got a flight and FYI the smoothie sours were SWEET! I expected it to be more tart, but it was so sweet I ended up not finishing it. Really enjoyed their strawberry zombie, a fruit spin on their classic white zombie. Lots of space to sit inside and outside at picnic tables!

We stopped in at Catawba to get a quick beer. It was a busy Saturday afternoon. The bartender said it had been "dead" the day before. The service was ok but not great, possibly because of the busyness. They had several areas for seating and we were able to find a seat. Pros: size of space, seating options, and murals. Good beer and big selection. They had a food truck. Cons: they have flights but you can only get them pre set on the weekends (though they do sell half pint pours). Staff halfway adhering to mask wearing (bandanas falling down). No kitchen for their own food (but restaurant next door and food truck).
