Soon, you’ll have the chance to hang out at one of Charlotte’s most popular breweries in a new spot.

Resident Culture Brewing Company is opening a new location in Uptown on Thursday, Aug. 10. The locally owned brewery, founded in 2017, will be expanding to The Market at 7th Street, the city’s first food hall. The brewery will be joining several other local businesses, including Not Just Coffee, Orrman’s Cheese Shop, Assorted Table Wine & Shop and Jimmy Pearls, a restaurant Resident Culture has collaborated with for beer-pairing dinners.

“When the opportunity presented itself to be a staple in The Market at 7th Street, we decided to jump on it,” Resident Culture co-owner Philip McLamb said in a statement. “We believe in the revitalization and comeback of Uptown, and want to do our part to help make it happen. We also believe in the mission of The Market at 7th Street and feel it aligns with Resident Culture’s core values.”

This will be Resident Culture’s third location in the area since opening over five years ago. Just last year, it opened a new taproom with a full service coffee shop.

Resident Culture will temporarily take over the former Tank’s Tap space with 12 beers on tap and retail coolers with cans to-go. And then late next year, the brewery plans to move to a larger space in The Market — one with a patio.

McLamb says the team wants the newest brewery “to add to the upbeat vibe of the market, and make it a destination where folks can grab some of the best food and beverage Uptown has to offer.”

An official opening date has not yet been announced, but owners anticipate it being late this summer. Check back for updates on Resident Culture’s newest location.
