Cool spot in Plaza Midwood to grab drinks and food. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, a rooftop bar, a bottle shop, food truck in back, and it's walkable to lots of other bars and restaurants so you can easily get a change of scenery. There is also a small parking lot in front of the building with free parking. read more

Aesthetic: Relaxed brewery in the heart of Plaza Midwood What to try: Beer Service: Excellent Parking: Some plaza, some street Rating: 5/5, very nice brewery with an extensive menu of beers, ciders, cocktails, and mocktails. I loved the Bees knees mocktail and my husband loved the Drowning in misery by our own design beer. I will definitely be back again to try more of the menu! read more

I came here last night with a few friends. We arrived at 9pm and sat on the upstairs balcony, so we enjoyed some great views while sipping on refreshing drinks and catching up with each other. I tried their homemade sparkling wine but honestly was not the biggest fan - the flavor was too cider-y for me. So for my second round, I stuck with my go-to prosecco. I tried some of the other IPAs and lagers; as far as beer goes, they were pretty good. A bit on the expensive side - $8 for the pint, $14 for the wine. But great atmosphere and such a fun part of town (plaza midwood). They do have some cocktails as well, so maybe I would try one of those next time. I would definitely come back for the atmosphere - and on Tuesdays they have trivia. Nice bottle shop on the first floor, but didn't get a chance to peruse on this visit. Parking is annoying, but that pretty much goes without saying for any downtown hotspot. @azfitfoodfun read more

I went to Burial because it was on my cousin's list of breweries to check out when he came to visit. For what it is, it will do. The staff are nice and customer service is good. I didn't particularly like being around, or smelling, so many dogs inside on a hot summer afternoon, but I guess that's the trend now. And before I start making enemies, just know that I'm a dog person. I just wish there were more dog-free spaces. At any rate, this isn't one of them. They have a limited food menu but I enjoyed the Cajun butter wings. I also got an order of the Greek fries which were ok but the falafel needs a little extra zip or zing to 'em. The infused Paloma did the job. If I do go back, I think I'll sit on the outside patio. I need all the fresh air I can get there. read more

Love their beer, did t care for this place at all. Went on a Sunday mid-afternoon in July and it's was absolutely slammed. Only 2 beer tenders working. The big, big, big problem was the noise and chaos inside. It's not spacious and there were so many people yelling at each other to be heard, babies and infants everywhere screaming and crying and dogs barking at each other, so we had just one beer and bailed. Oh my god was it insanely loud in there. Beers are good, but pricy and all double ipas are only 12 oz pours. LAME. Customers are way better off just buying cans and running out the door. Of course, parking is nearly impossible to find as well. Wifi is strong and free though. The only way Im ever going back here is to grab cans, which by the way, is a lot cheaper by the ounce compared to buying a draft here. read more

This is quite a novelty brewery and bar that has a modern emo-grunge theme both in artwork and drinks. Being a brewery they have mostly beer but a couple of cocktails for those that prefer it like myself. All their cocktails and drafts have interesting names to emphasize their emo dark theme - I ordered the "Shadow of the Reaper" cocktail. We came 20min before last call and they happily served us and let us upstairs. They have a more traditional bar setup downstairs with a good amount of tables. Additionally they also have a small rooftop with a small bar that overlooks the street - we walked over from having dinner across the way. Definitely recommend especially if you or your friends fancy the darker grunge aesthetic as some of the patrons also entered with this style and it added to the ambience they go for. Enjoyed! read more

Once again with my latest experience with Burial Beer was a rewarding one. The latest beer that we have had from this brewery was the Surf Wax, an IPA with tropical, piney, citrus and hoppy flavors. The hops really got my attention on the first sip with this one but the IPA was very good and refreshing! The body of the beer was nice and smooth which I enjoy with my beer drinking experiences. Of course I have always had a weakness for buying Burial's awesome merch, specifically the t-shirts and that trend hasn't stopped at all. Burial Beer still remains a favorite in my book! read more

Place your order at the bar, walk away with a drink and a beeper. The vibe is super chill and pet-friendly. There is ample seating between the indoor, outdoor, and upstairs rooftop areas. I wouldn't say it's baby-friendly as there are no booster seats, but there were kids of all ages present around dinner time. The food was very good. We had the cheeseburger, shrimp po'boy, and Caesar shrimp salad with fries and fried potatoes. GET THE FRIED POTATOES. The fries were good, but where else do you get fried redskins? Everyone said they'd order the same thing again. We left happy and will return. read more

I really like Burial and welcome it to the neighborhood. The rooftop in Plaza is a huge plus - when it's open. Good selection of beers and reasonably priced. And excellent food which you might not expect from a brewery. I recommend! read more

Burial is a must visit when in Asheville so I was excited to see that they have a location in Charlotte now. The space is nice, I really liked the rooftop deck. I sampled a few beers but ended up going with a pint of the Through the Forests of Plenty (a west coast IPA) and my friend ordered the Fall of the Damned (a sour). This brewery always has solid beers. Cheers! read more

Beers are top notch. Best part is that when you enter the beer name in Untappd there is only one listed in the search window. Overall a 70's vibe with the green faux leather bar, plastic bar stools at the hi top, and old speakers behind the bar. Omg I luv it here. Of course, limited parking In the area. Great music on the PA. I got a sneak peak at the back yard and 2nd floor patio ( waiting on electrical approval) and they are awesome. Go here. read more

Amazing brewery in the historic Plaza Midwood district of Charlotte. I have been to the original Burial brewing in Asheville so I know how great the beers are. This tasting room has a very different vibe from the one in Asheville but they have an amazing rooftop bar, an outdoor patio and indoor tasting room. There are two bars, one on each floor which is very convenient. They also serve food but we didn't eat anything this visit. Staff is friendly, merch is on point and their beers are fantastic, they have some wonderful stouts with complex flavors and high alcohol content. These are definitely my favorites from Burial. As well as their creative names for the beers. For example: Fortunate Miscreants of A Kindred Ilk, And All That You Fear Will Slowly Melt Away, Where Everything Was Perfect in the Pits of Aimless Dissatisfaction. They have fantastic Sours and IPAs as well. They are open Monday - Wednesday 12pm - 11pm, Thursday - Saturday 12pm - 12am and Sunday 12pm - 9pm. Definitely check out Burial. Even though Charlotte has many breweries in the area, this one is a do not miss! read more

This is one of the coolest breweries in Charlotte and amazingly centrally located in plaza. It's walking distance from lots of other fun Plaza locations. There's a spacious indoor area with a one-up serving style, where you wait in line to get served vs spreading out at the bar. There's also an oudoor area downstairs and a rooftop where you can see uptown slightly, but it's now getting blocked by new construction. They have both beer and cocktails, so something for everyone. They also have some of the coolest swag items. read more

Another fantastic location for Burial Beer the very best DDH IPA'S without the the drive to Asheville. Pre ordering is a cinch , it's quite helpful when picking up friends beer. The location obviously has a great atmosphere parking sucks so arrive early. Great Cuban restaurant across the street if you've over indulged to sort yourself out. ( The End ) read more

Another great addition to the CLT beer scene! We have been to the one in Asheville, but glad to have one in our backyard! They have a large assortment of beer, along with wine and non-alcohol - so there's something for everyone! They also have food - a straightforward menu of burgers, chicken sandwiches, wings and some vegan options as well! We were big fans of the buffalo wings. There is also a surprising amount of space - inside and then a back patio and an upstairs rooftop deck. The rooftop has nice skyline views (until the apartment complex is finished). Definitely will be back to Burial! read more

You can find the Charlotte location of Burial Beer Co The House of Relics at 1218 Thomas Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205 - this is a fairly trendy area of town featuring several bars, clubs, restaurants and breweries within walking distance. Parking is out front or along streets - there appears to be plenty, especially as regular retail closes for the day. I believe this location has been open about a week - the brewery occupies an existing building that appear to have originally been some type of retail or commercial spot. The exterior is brick with a row of glass in the front and access to a fenced patio to the rear, which I believe also gives you access to the rooftop. The interior has polished concrete floors and exposed metal lattice raftering in the ceiling. The bar extends most of the way on the back wall with the door to the back on the left and bathroom access to the right. There's a retail shop on the left side where you'll find an impressive bottle and can selection as well as shirts, hats and other brewery items. On this day we tried pretty much everything on the menu that we hadn't had previously - luckily it was an anniversary bottle release day so we got to both taste the beer and take home bottles. Here's the list of what we tried: * Anno Domini Imperial Stout 4.3/5 - Exceptional coffee stout with low bitterness coffee notes in a creamy coconut and toasted hazelnut barrel aged body, finishing with dulcet vanilla notes. Just a touch boozy but the sweet vanilla makes up for it. * Abstract DDH Opulence: Imperial Illusion 4 Crème Ale 4/5 - Interesting somewhat syrupy cream ale with tart citrus and mango notes in a thick creamy caramel body, finishing with sweet vanilla and a bit of hops. * This Legacy is an Abstraction to Unbridled Curiosity Imperial Stout 4.3/5 - A cross between praline and a pecan pie, notes of sweet maple, nutty praline, coconut, coffee and chocolate in a thick sweet body, finishing in vanilla. * An Actuality Rife with Frequent Unavailability Blonde Ale 4/5 - Somewhat floral saison with citrus and lemony notes, thin fairly easy drinking body finishing dry with notes of honey. * The Virtue of Patience Barleywine (2021) 4.3/5 -Nicely conceived barleywine with caramel barrel body, notes of marshmallow, chocolate and vanilla, finishes into the dried fruit and molasses range, a bit boozy. * Ocean Swallows the Sun gose 4.4/5 - I enjoyed this a lot, tart red hued and somewhat Kriek-like with great mouthfeel, vinous and floral notes finishing slightly sweet with a touch of funk. * Keepers Veil Saison 4.1/5 - Well executed honey ale with tart tea and lemon notes in a slightly earthy base - finishing full and slightly dry. * The River to Hell Runs Red Flanders Oud Bruin 4.4/5 - Perhaps my most favorite in the lambic range, this Oud Bruin expresses tart berries in a dark red body reminiscent of a fine wine in an effervescent body finishing with a lingering vinous quality and a bit of funk. * Ninth Passing Imperial Stout 4.5/5 - Delicious sweet barrel aged stout with big chocolate coconut body finishing in sweet vanilla much like a chocolate macaroon. A touch boozy in the finish but well worth it. * The Incongruence Between What We Know and What We Pretend to Be Triple IPA 4.4/5 - Well executed thick juicy body with haze-for-daze, notes of sweet citrus and melon finishing with enough resinous hops to hide the 10% ABV beautifully. * Formed by Responses Involuntary to Experimental Stimuli Double IPA 4.4/5 - Sophisticated multi-layered hops in this juice bomb with a super hazy citrus and tropical body, finishing dry and hoppy, so good. Fall of the Damned Fruited Sour 4.3/5 - Every version of this seems to improve on the previous, huge notes of blackberries with a jammy barrel aged tart body finishing sweet and dry with an amazing mouthfeel. The bar service was exceptional with quick pours and lots of comments regarding the time we were having. So glad to visit Burial Beer Co's Charlotte location! read more

It took me long enough but I finally made it out to this brewery. The ambiance and patio are fantastic. The standout feature, however, is the beer--truly superb! Their extensive selection includes a few options with an ABV exceeding 10%. To remain oblivious to evolution until inevitable extinction, was a delicious and smooth stout. It instantly became one of my favorite breweries. read more

I am posting to inform everyone that although this brewery has outdoor space, dogs are NOT allowed. I tried calling beforehand - no phone number. I checked their website - nowhere did it say no dogs allowed. I checked their front door- no sign. Therefore I showed up with my dog like most breweries, and could not go in. I will update my review at a later date when I come to visit again.. without my dog haha. Legion and Common Market are nearby and do allow dogs if you run into this predicament like I did.

One of my favorite breweries in Asheville made it to Charlotte and I couldn't believe I hadn't been there to try it yet. A friend was in town visiting and I had Monday off, so we ventured to burial after lunch and arrived around 2 PM. We grabbed a seat at the bar inside as it was pretty cold out, there were multiple other people inside, some drinking and conversing, so I'm working and drinking, or a combination of the three. Bartender, Matt Moore was super knowledgeable about all of the beers and gave a good history of burial to my friend in town. Decor is on point and beer is phenomenal. We will be back to check out the rooftop patio when it gets warmer! read more

Asheville's Burial Beer makes its entry onto the Charlotte brewery scene with a cool, smartly designed facility that's sure to be one of the most popular spots in Plaza Midwood. With a spacious taproom and a fabulous rooftop deck, The House of Relics (as the location is called) is an outstanding spot to meet for a few brews on a warm Saturday evening, watching the sun set behind the Uptown skyline. The kitchen serves an impressive menu of burgers, sandwiches and salads, and there are wine and cocktail selections available for those visitors who aren't into beer. Hopheads, however, will find much to love in Burial's diverse selection of brews. From signature IPAs like Surf Wax and Feather From the Ashes to tasty Pale Ales like Prophetmaker, there's something here for every taste. And nobody knows how to NAME a beer like Burial. Just try to keep a straight face when asking for a Pint of 'The Wretched Pit of Identity' or 'Liturgy of the Forever Silenced.' So macabre ... and so fun! So make plans to drop into the Charlotte House of Relics for a few cold brews, then grab a 6-pack and some swag from the taproom store on your way home. You'll soon understand why Burial is one of North Carolina's most popular craft breweries, and you might even become a regular visitor. read more

Great location great beer! Just FYI the kitchen is a permanent food truck and it's very good. When we went it had just two staff in truck pumping out great food in 94 degree conditions. The bar does not share tips with the kitchen. So keep that in mind and bring some cash to drop in the kitchen tip jar. read more

Love the atmosphere of this Burial! I am a huge fan of the Burial in Asheville and was excited to hear they were coming to Charlotte. The outdoor space is great for when the weather is nice, and they even have an option to open up the windows downstairs to give the whole place an outside feel. The beer is always nice, crisp, and refreshing. I am not a huge fan of IPA's and barrel aged beers (which is what this place is good at), but my friends say this is one of their favorite places. read more

This is by far one of the best craft beer things to happen in Charlotte in a long time. The space is really amazing inside. Nice, open area around the bar, music played at the right volume, cool retro seating. Great gift shop that includes vinyl! Beer options are off the charts from hazy, to west coast, to BBA imperial stouts. Some amazing sours, too... get the marionberry! The rooftop bar and deck may just be the best feature of the space. Above all, the icing on the cake is the staff here. Very patient with newbies, and very quick to recognize repeat customers. The only downside here is parking... take Uber, Lift, scooter, bike or anything but driving your car! read more
