A Charlotte Taproom Directory: 2022
A neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown
Brewing Company. Photo by Peter Taylor.
Here’s a list, as thorough as we could make it, of the more than 80 Charlotte-area taprooms. A couple of notes: We’ve organized them by Charlotte neighborhood and surrounding city or town—Belmont, Concord, etc.—so you’ll see what seem to be repeats. Those are just alternate locations; some Charlotte breweries have opened additional taprooms both within and outside city limits, and some suburban breweries have opened taprooms in Charlotte.
Also, on “breweries” versus “taprooms”: People tend to use the terms interchangeably. But they’re not synonymous. Breweries are where beer is made; taprooms are where beer is served. You can have a brewery without a taproom, and vice versa. We presume that our readers want to know where they can drink, not just gaze longingly at fermentation tanks. The list below covers taprooms, in other words. Most, but not all, are attached to breweries.
Happy drinking. And if we overlooked someone, let us know. —Greg Lacour
