Charlotte’s brewery scene continues to explode and it’s time that you try the #1 beer at each of our 24 Charlotte breweries.
If you’re like us, you can no longer compete with the college version of yourself, thus you’re only able to drink a beer or two from a brewery.
When you’re only drinking a beer or two, it’s important to know the flagship beer at each Charlotte brewery. The Agenda reached out to brewery ownership and asked them about their most popular beer. Here are the results.
