Ale is one of the oldest beverages to be produced by humans. Dating back to Mesopotamia, people have been making beer for as long as they have been making bread. Ancient Egyptians and Monks alike have all come to the same conclusion, that most everyone like to sit back and enjoy a cold one now and again. Though we no longer rely on spontaneous fermentation, some have honed the skills to brew what are truly some exceptional and unique brews. What better way to absorb the culture then with a brewery tour? You will tour:

The Noda Brewing Company — tours and group visits are guided.  NoDa Brewing Company opened its doors to the world in October 2011 and is one of Charlotte’s newest home-grown microbreweries for beer lovers in the Carolinas! This unique production brewery in the Queen City’s NoDa neighborhood crafts small-batch premium beers, offering something for nearly every beer drinker.

The Birdsong Brewing Company — Birdsong was founded in 2011 with a quest for better beer and a 5-gallon soup kettle. Our vision is similar to many of our favorite craft brewing mentors who have inspired us to open our own brewery: we strive to brew flavorful, unfiltered, quality craft beers for distribution in the Charlotte, NC area

The Heist Brewery — Promising to rattle the status quo, Heist Brewery is continuing to rewrite the rulebook on craft beer and cuisine in Charlotte. In addition to award-winning handcrafted beers and made from scratch sodas, Heist offers an array of artisan breads baked fresh daily, shared plates and wood-fired specialties served up in a renovated, century-old former mill. At Heist, bold and unexpected culinary combinations are the norm, creating an innovative and appetizing dining experience for guests
