But Hinnant wondered if there would come a time that the brewery would shift gears and focus more on producing beer for outside venues instead of downtown patrons.

Hinnant was concerned Third Dimension Brewery could shift more from a destination business, intent on bringing people to downtown Kannapolis and switch to focusing more on manufacturing.

“And then all of a sudden we have a manufacturing plant in the middle of our operating commercial district and I think that is inconsistent,” Hinnant said.

Collins said the focus of the brewery looks to always be on the taproom and catering to patrons.

If there is enough of a demand they could create another facility, Collins said. But a new facility would have to be in the same basic area as the taproom, because of how beer needs to be consistently made with the same water, which can taste different from area to area.
