A specialty beer and wine shop is about to debut at Camp North End in Charlotte.

Cork & Cap will open at 4 p.m. Jan. 30 in a 1,200-square-foot space at 1701 N. Graham St., property developers ATCO Properties & Management and Shorenstein Properties, LLC said in a news release Monday.

Cork & Cap will feature beer and wine, plus snacks.

Co-owners Brian Kelly and Adam Lingle visited more than 1,000 breweries nationwide, according to ATCO and Shorenstein, and have chosen beers that likely aren’t available at local grocery stores.

Kelly previously ran his technology company CloudGenera from Cork & Cap before selling it last summer.
