David Harries, the director of brewing operations, and Brad Michael, the marketing manager, walked us through what you can expect inside the space when it opens in the upcoming weeks.

-Brewers is expected to have 10,000 barrels of annual production. Interactive brew tours will also be available.

-The taproom bar will have 40 total taps (with Southern Tier and Victory Beer) along with around 1/3 of those taps brewed specifically for Charlotte. The brewery is looking to have potential partnerships with other local breweries down the line.
-You’ll find three outdoor patios, one within walking distance of the Scaleybark light rail stop. That covered patio in particular will have several seating options.

–One Uber loop/drop-off station will be located right near the beer garden.
