Live like a local! Charlotte is home to 75 breweries (and counting) all with their own unique twist. Check out some of our favorites:

Craft Tasting Room and Growler Shop

One of our local favorites in Charlotte. They offer local craft beers and ample indoor/outdoor seating to enjoy plenty of small bites like local cheese and charcuterie boards. Bring a deck of cards and you'll never want to leave.

Old Mecklenburg Brewery

Head over to lo-so to experience a german style bier garden with tons of outdoor space and a great soft pretzel.

Hop Fly

HopFly is known for its hoppy beers and lagers, but the team is always experimenting with new things, so expect three to four new beer releases a week. Katsu Kart food truck, which serves transitional Japanese-style katsu sandwiches, is on-site every week from Thursday through Sunday.

Suffolk Punch

Located directly on the Rail Trail near the New Bern Station, the unique space features both a refined yet rustic indoor area (think greenery everywhere) and an expansive patio and outdoor bar. From lagers and IPAs to stouts and sours, you won’t regret having a taste—better yet, get a flight to try them all.

Wooden Robot

This brewery is inspired by tradition (wooden) and innovation (robot) in its production process and atmosphere (think clean lines with wood and brick elements plus an outdoor patio). We recommend taking a 10 minute walk over to try the Good Morning Vietnam beer, which is the brewery’s best-known and top-selling beer.

Triple C Brewing Co

For a laid-back, no pressure environment with award-winning beers on tap (like the Baby Maker Double IPA and 3C West Coast IPA), Triple C is the place to go. The brewery also has an outdoor patio with picnic tables, an on-site pizza trailer
