A Charlotte Brewery Directory: 2023
A neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown
Updated December 2023
You’re out and about in, say, Plaza Midwood or Mooresville on a humid August day. Sweat is beading on your upper lip, and you think, I could really go for a cold brewski. What’s around here?
We gotchu, my thirsty friend. Here’s our annual list, as thorough as we could make it, of brewery taprooms. It’s organized by neighborhood within Charlotte and by ’burb for the ’burbs. We’ve added about 20 since last year, which brings us to more than 100: brand-new breweries, new locations for established ones, and out-of-town breweries that opened taprooms here because we’re so frickin’ cool. We raise a glass to them all. —Tess Allen
