Join us on Thursday, October 22 at Carolina Beer Temple for Charlotte Craft Brew Tales—a one-of-a-kind celebration of the creativity, passion, and inspiration behind Charlotte's independent breweries.
Sixteen local breweries will each showcase one featured beer, sharing the story that brought it to life. From locally sourced ingredients and seasonal inspiration to community collaborations and personal brewing journeys, you'll discover what makes each beer more than just what's in the glass.
General Admission is FREE!
Stop by to enjoy featured beers, meet the people behind the breweries, explore each beer's story, and celebrate the incredible craft beer community that makes Charlotte unique.
