Charlotte’s overflowing with craft beer all year long, but every April, locally made brews reign supreme in the Queen City.

The CLT Clash of the Crafts March Madness-style bracket will seek to crown the people’s choice champion of Charlotte’s craft brews. The competition kicks off with 32 locally-made beers representing the beer bracket divisions of Hoppy, Malt/Roast, Crisp and Funky/Fruity until only one remains as the CLT Clash of the Crafts Champion.

Whether they’re a feat of engineering, brewed for a cause or inspired by industry and real-life pioneers, these brews offer unique ways to experience the craft and culture of Charlotte beer.
