“The kitchen is an addition we’ve looked forward to ever since we started out,” said Webb. While the look and feel of TBC is different from the intimate taproom at Cotton House, the welcoming atmosphere remains the same. The inside has a modern lodge aesthetic with a variety of seating areas, a stone wall with a fireplace, and plants galore for a more organic vibe. Visitors can also venture out to the large deck and outdoor seating area to enjoy live music. “The new venue is set up as a great live music and DJ scene for hosting all sorts of entertainment,” said Webb. “From small music events to regional and national entertainers, we’re excited about the dynamics the new location will bring.” With live entertainment, high-quality craft brews, and a diverse menu to sample, TBC furthers Cotton House Craft Brewers’ mission to support the community. “We want folks to see our new location as an expansion of the awesome craft beer and food scene for downtown Cary,” said Webb. “Cary is recognized nationally as one of the best towns to live, work, and play. We are excited about creating an atmosphere where everybody feels welcome.” t

THE CRAFT BEER SCENE in downtown Cary continues to evolve with the grand opening of Triangle Beer Co., Cotton House Craft Brewers’ second location. Triangle Beer Co., or TBC, joins popular sister location, Cotton House, as a destination for local beer lovers. Cotton House, located in the historic Pasmore House on Academy Street, opened in 2019 and became a fast favorite. As the local brewery presence grew, the Cotton House team knew they wanted to open another location in Cary. In June, that goal became a reality when TBC opened in the former Jordan Lake Brewing facility. “A second location has been a long time coming,” said Brent Webb, owner of Cotton House Craft Brewers. “We love the Cary
community, and we’re excited to offer a new place for people to come hang out and enjoy great beer and locally sourced food.” The new facility has a taproom, and it houses brewing operations for both brewery locations. Patrons can try out 16 taps, featuring favorite brews from Cotton House as well as a steady rotation of specialty beers, kettle sours, and seltzers exclusively available at TBC. Perhaps the biggest addition at TBC is Craft Concepts – a mobile kitchen specializing in local and sustainable menus. With small bites like Duck Fat Fries or Crispy Brussels Sprouts to full plates like N.Y. Strip Kebabs and build-your-own burgers, the menu provides mouth-watering options for everyone to enjoy.
An order of Crispy Brussels Sprouts from Craft Concepts boasts tasty Brussels sprouts with Thai peanut sauce, strawberry-habenero jam, and cilantro.
