Continuing our tour of Knightdale we made a quick stop in the Oak City Brewing Company – just a short walk from the Lassiter Distillery Co. Maybe it’s me but moving to downtown Knightdale doesn’t seem like the worst idea ever.
Our Tap House is a 1920s bungalow nestled in historic downtown Knightdale overlooking Knightdale Station Park. We are your neighborhood brewery, a place to get together with friends and family.
The brewery/tap house is serving a good variety of beers and it is my understanding they are in the process of brewing and have plans to serve their own beer in the near future. They have a great outdoor space that opens to the park and leaves you feeling like you are in a much more remote location. I was a little curious about the name of the location and fortunately, they cleared this up on their website:
In all seriousness we do get asked this a lot so much so that we decided to put something on our website about it. Â People seem intrigued because Oak City is naturally more commonly seen in Raleigh and yet we are located in Knightdale. So whats the story?
The story is there really isn’t a story. We love the outdoors, have always thought Oak City Brewing Company was a cool name that tied back to the local area of Raleigh which is right next door to Knightdale (named a National Arbor Day tree city for 14 years in a row) city and just by chance our new location has a beautiful big oak tree with a backdrop of a 76 acre park so come sit beneath our oak and have a cold beer with us. Bring your family and/or your dog too.
If you are in the area this is a great stop and if you live in or around Knightdale this should be a regular stop. It is a little far for us on a regular basis but we’ll be keeping an eye out for their beer when it moves from concept to the taps.
