#FollowFriday: Which Charlotte breweries have the most Twitter followers?
I like beer. I like Twitter. I really like beer-related Twitter accounts.
So I compiled a list of the five most-followed Charlotte breweries so that you too can enjoy gorgeous pictures of beer in your Twitter timeline.
– 19K followers, 15K tweets.
– Its Hop Drop ‘N’ Roll IPA won a gold medal at the World Beer Cup and NoDa has arguably the most popular brewery run club. The @NoDaRunClub Twitter account has 1,239 followers.

– 12.1K followers, 9,205 tweets.
– The old soul of Charlotte breweries opened way back in 2009 and it seems like you can find Copper on tap in every bar in Charlotte, which is a wonderful thing.

(3) Birdsong Brewing
– 10.6K followers, 5,387 tweets.
– Birdsong was one of the first Charlotte breweries I visited and has long been one of my favorites. I also love the bird logo.

(5) Heist Brewery
– 7,563 followers, 7,927 tweets.
– Unlike most of the other breweries, Heist also serves fancy food and cocktails, so the account appeals to more than just the craft beer crowd.
