NoDa Company Store sells to Lincolnton-based BrickTree Brewing Co.

Why it matters: NoDa Company Store is a beloved hangout known for its expansive patio and signature "NoDa Colada" drinks. It's one of those establishments that helps give NoDa character.

Details: The store isn't going anywhere and it won't turn into a brewery, says Scott Lindsley who opened NoDa Company Store in 2016 with his husband, Joey Hewell. But BrickTree will start selling more of its beers, which are brewed in Lincolnton.

• The shop will still carry other beers from local breweries, as well as wine and sangria like it always has, Lindsley says.
• This deal doesn't affect NoDa Company Canteen at Camp North End, Queen City Nerve reported.

Between the lines: Lindsley adds that the business is in good hands — the BrickTree team is "very community-minded," which is why he and Hewell wanted to work with them.

What they're saying: "It certainly wasn't an easy decision in the sense that we live in and love the neighborhood very much," Lindsley tells Axios.

• "We know how much folks in the neighborhood love that place and we do too. We just wanted a little more space to relax."

Of note: There are no plans yet to change the name of NoDa Company Store, per Lindsley.

• He declined to share the terms of the deal.
• It's unclear what other changes BrickTree has in store. Representatives from the brewery did not respond to a request for comment.
