Wicked Weed Brewing

I had a layover in Charlotte's airport that kept getting delayed, and delayed, and delayed, so, despite it being 8:30 in the morning, I hunkered down at Wicked Weed in the Atrium and stayed for a couple hours. After all, time doesn't exist in airports, right?You're paying a premium to drink in an airport, each pint was somewhere between $10-12 if memory serves correct. I ordered the sour Burst and their oak cider; definitely preferred the cider. They also keep a barrel-aged sour on tap and the nice bartender let me try a taster of it.Many people were also stopping by for to-go cups of beer. In addition to beer, they have a full bar, so lots of cocktail options. One lady near me ordered a mimosa, very light on OJ.They also have plugs under the bar, which was a great feature when trying to rebook my flight on the American app.

I stopped in here while waiting on my connection to Memphis. I saw there was a brewery tap spot I needed to check out. Its in a food court so you can grab food while you have a drink. Unfortunately they were tapped out of their beers I would have wanted but I went with the pilsner. It was kinda hoppy. They also have a full bar in case you want wine or a bloody mary etc.

Charlotte airport is full of fun little surprises. This is a fun little "taproom", set up as a stand-alone bar in the middle of the food court, is very conveniently located, close to many of the departure gates along with other shops and amenities close at hand.The bar area itself is very nice, with lots of light, plenty of extra table nearby, some TVs, and an abundance of power outlets. I found it very easy to hunker down, plug-in, and get a lot of work done over a few pints. The service here was very prompt and friendly, too.The beer list is very good. With a decent selection of their own brews on tap, a few other cans and bottles from more mass-market brands, and wine and cocktails available as well. I was hooked on their Appalachian, a session IPA that is really delicious. The Day Light is a quite nice, well, light beer. And the Pernicious is a most excellent full IPA. For food options, you are surrounded by burger, sandwich, and fried chicken stalls, and you could snag a snack and bring it on over. And Shake Shack even lets you order via QR code right from the taproom bar. Prices for everything are definitely airport-premium, though, with at least a dollar or two more than you'd pay otherwise.All in all, it is a good feeling when you can actually enjoy yourself during long layovers. And Wicked Weed is a very good spot to pass the time. Anyone stopping over in this airport should for sure swing by for a bite and a brew.

Service was great, the bartender was very nice and attentive, but they were out of the staff, which was the main reason I came here so that was a bummer. I tried a different beer and I didn't like it that much.

Had a great experience sitting at this little spot in the airport before my flight!! The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive, even with the bar being full. They didn't serve food, but there were a ton of places to grab food from nearby.

Wicked Weed in an airport, say less! When heading out on a trip, we stopped by the food court in the CLT airport and got to try the new wicked weed bar in the middle. The bar has 10-15 seats and 2-3 bartenders who were super nice and attentive, especially for a super busy airport. Their beer selection was actually massive compared to other places that I've visited. We got the freak of nature which is one of their IPAs. With IPAs it's important they are new and fresh because the flavor can be impacted the longer they sit. This one was super crisp, hoppy, and delicious!

I'll admit, the name lured me in. Out of curiosity, I had to see what this place was and what they served. The prices were outrageous for beer. The clientele was interesting to say the least. No real food, just snack type of finger foods you can eat while you drink. The ambiance was not for me. Looked like a circular bar countertop where everyone was sitting on bar stools. Too close to people you don't even know. Too close for comfort. Pass.

Nice little bar in the newer part of the airport; I love Wicked Weed in Asheville - so was pleasantly surprised to see it here! Grabbed a quick drink between flights with my husband and enjoyed people watching. I also enjoy that you can order Shake Shack to the bar without having to stand in line!

I love that Charlotte airport has a bunch of these local breweries (well, Wicked Weed is Asheville https://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-weed-brewing-asheville so it's close enough) with mini bars here to show off how our region is growing our beer culture. This Wicked Weed joins Olde Mecklenburg https://www.yelp.com/biz/omb-captain-jack-s-tavern-charlotte?hrid=-KP0GYmIVg1YsMviQ6Td2g and NoDa https://www.yelp.com/biz/noda-brewing-charlotte-2 outlets in the airport.This one is located in a food court they're calling "The Plaza" that is near the E checkpoint. A couple of other eateries are here.It's nice to be able to sit and sip at a delicious beverage with none of that "mask" stuff going on. Because you definitely can't catch COVID while you're consuming a delicious beer. It's the alcohol that kills it of course!They have nearly a dozen taps of their own beer plus bottled "guest" beers if you really feel the need to drink something macro and wine. They have some basic snacks but you'll be better off grabbing some waffle fries from the Chick-Fil-A if you need to eat.I had a tall and frosty pint of their "Day Light American Light Ale" as I slowly eased my way out of ketosis to prepare for my vacation. Delicious and definitely crushable.[Review 16555 overall - 3179 in North Carolina - 64 of 2022.]

Expensive Beer! That's all I can remember about this place. They had some interesting choices, I got the wheat, then the bill and the bill should have came with a shot so I would calm down. I would have flipped the bar over, but it's pretty heavy.I did manage to grab a seat at the bar and it took quite a while for someone to come over and serve me. Once they did, the service was good. I got the Elevation Ale which I liked.Anyway, it's in an airport, but I've been in other airports that don't gouge you so much. I grew up flying out of Pittsburgh where everything is price controlled so they can't do this. Same with Orlando now as prices are pretty reasonable.
