Ultimate Ales

Stellar selection of both bottled and draft craft beer with one of the cool TV-Untapped menus, nice staff, and (mostly) ample parking. Definitely limited seating but that's fine; a go-to when I'm in the area.

Best spot for local brews and amazing service. The owners, Ryan and Christy, are phenomenal with good southern hospitality. Ben is a great bartender and an awesome friend. Arcade machine and loads of board games and puzzles. Snacks are great and outside food is welcome! Come grab a pint and relax for an afternoon! You won't regret it!

Looks like they are permanently closed. Was just at 330 pm Saturday 3/22 and they have court summons documents pasted to their front door.

Great place to hang out and have a craft beer. Tapped or in the bottle. Great selection.

We always love coming here. It's nice and close as we live at the fountains. The beer selection is incredible. They have something for everyone. The staff is always so friendly and they recognize and learn your name after you come in just a few times. Great spot to just chill and enjoy your company and beer

Great beer selection and a great community of people! Mark, the owner, knows his beer and can guide you in finding a new favorite. You can bring food in or enjoy the popcorn that is always available. Love this place!

Hey friends if you ever get to this lovely place check out all the wonderful beers that they have great imports. Craft and porter. Come get yourself some

This is the only place in town, if you enjoy quality crafted beer. Great rotating selection of locally produced beer, knowledgable staff that provides insightful recommendations on NC's finest brews!

Great place to sample a new beer on tap and shop for top local and national microbrews. The owner Mark loves beer and knows his business, had the pleasure of attending his 1-year anniversary last week and he's already outlasted much larger establishments around the lake. Ultimate Ales has a dozen 1/6 barrels on tap so the selection is always changing, and a wide selection of canned beer to take out on the boat.

Was going to wet my whistle at Ultimate Ales today around 5:30pm, I walked in and started looking through their coolers when I noticed there was a toddler sitting at the bar with her parents. There is no way a baby should be at an establishment such as this. Since when! are persons under 21 allowed in bars? Not only that, it destroys the experience for the other adult patrons. It had been awhile since I've been to Ultimate Ales, and after this experience I think I'm going to make Lowes Foods my go to for tastings and take home beer. Furthermore, Lowes Foods has better prices on craft beer.
