About
Belgian and Hop forward inspired Brewpub located in Historic Uptown Shelby, North Carolina. Enjoy up to 16 hand-crafted brews, cuisine and live music.

Newgrass Brewing Company resides in heart of what many people know as the “City of Pleasant Living,” otherwise known as Shelby, North Carolina. We draw on our farmland surroundings, traditions and local heroes for inspiration while striving to maintain our own unique and progressive brewing concepts.

Just as the “newgrass” music genre was a progressive take on a very traditional style of music in bluegrass, Newgrass Brewing Company strives to do the exact same by blending renditions of traditional styles with deconstructed and reinterpreted progressive brews that have no borders.

The Aromas are cocoa, roast, dark malt and a little spice. I've never had a beer taste so much like chocolate milk before. Sweet of course but nicely tempered with the carbonation and slight bitterness.

The Aromas are Citrus hops just starting to turn and some wet grain. Looks like a hazy. Flavors are citrusy hops low bitter, slightly sweet upfront with a little bitter in the Finish. Goodbody. Fairly drinkable overall.

The mild aromaz are solvent and a little bit of hops. Flavors are a boat load of fresh Citrus and melon hops and some pale malt to balance. A little more sweet than bitter but with a fairly long mildly bitter finish. Very good body and decent drinking.

Bottle at Salud Bottle Shop in Charlotte, thanks to whoever shared this one. Clear red. Very very subtle berry aroma. Taste is more funk and dust than berry. Dry finish. OK

Pour looks like juice with a very small head. Aroma is a nice fruity mix. I get some oranges and strawberries. Flavor is fruity part 2. Some honeydew melon, strawberry with some orange peel. Finish is not bitter but super dry. This is a pretty flavorful beer with some different fruity flavors.

Pour is a ugly looking murky yellow with a large white head. Aroma is peach and passion fruit with some coconut. Flavor is a nice orange and peach with some honey malt to give this a bit of sweetness. There is even a weird peanut butter after the swallow. Pretty nice hazy IPA, probably not one of the best but this has plenty flavorful hops.
