Charlotte Breweries – Where Things Are Hopping

Craft beer has seen an amazing growth over the last few years.  And Charlotte’s brewery scene has grown with it!  Here’s a breakdown of some of the Charlotte breweries players…

NoDa Brewing Company

• NoDa Brewing’s niche is crafting small-batch premium beers.  Their variety of brews has something for nearly every beer drinker.

Triple C Brewing Co

• Triple C is one of Charlotte’s newest breweries.  Their SouthEnd location off South Blvd has a spacious taproom with a cool vibe and an entertaining crowd.  Their beers range from light to amber to high ABV.

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery

• Olde Mecklenburg offers world-class beer that’s full-flavored and wonderfully refreshing.  You can head to the beirgarten for cornhole tournaments or hit the taproom for live music and seasonal beer release parties.

Four Friends Brewing

• With a focus on the revival of artisan brewing, Four Friends offers some of the highest quality hand-crafted beers available.  Their motto is “respect the juice o’ the barley,” and that’s just what they do.  Located near Steele Creek and Ayrsley, they’re a little off the beaten path of Charlotte, but the intimate atmosphere is worth the drive.

Birdsong Brewing

• Birdsong Brewing is another NoDa staple.  The homey atmosphere creates a great place to hang with friends while sipping some of their tasty brews.  With offerings like a jalapeno ale and the Lazy Bird brown ale, there’s surely something for everyone!

Heist Brewery

• Award-winning handcrafted beers isn’t all that can be found at Heist.  They also serve up artisan breads, made-from-scratch sodas, shared plates and wood-fired specialties.  Located in a century-old former mill in NoDa that has been renovated, they complete the brewery trifecta in the area.
