Sidetracked Brewery sits in Morganton, North Carolina, and looks like someone decided a railway depot and a British pub should have a love‑child – complete with brass fittings, signal‑styled lighting and a train‑themed décor that feels more authentic than a tourist souvenir. The moment you step inside, a row of gleaming pinball machines grabs your attention, offering a cheeky diversion while you decide which tap to sample (the sort of place that makes you forget you’ve ever been to a pretentious bar).
Outside, a spacious seating area lets the sunshine work its magic on the beer, and the menu reads like a miniature laboratory for the adventurous palate. The flagship Vanilla Lime Blonde marries citrus zest with a whisper of vanilla, proving that creativity need not be over‑complicated. The staff are genuinely knowledgeable, guiding you through the rotating selections with the enthusiasm of a guide‑book author who actually knows the terrain. Specialty brews appear as often as new pinball tables, ensuring there’s always something fresh to admire, sip, and brag about to your mates.
Sidetracked Brewery offers a welcoming atmosphere, great beer selection, and unique features like old school pinball games and outdoor seating. Visitors appreciate attentive service, knowledgeable staff, and the option to bring their own food or order from nearby establishments.
