Brews in the Queen City From Page 16

king-size porch remains a high point on the beer itinerary with German
styles toasting local heritage – the city and county are named for Queen
Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
Beer mixes well with other aspects of a Queen City
visit. A shopper’s paradise, Charlotte has a wealth of
bottle shops, including Brawleys, Good Bottle Co.
and Salud, located in the innovative/entrepreneurial
7th Street Public Market. At the NC Music Factory
complex, VBGB Beer Hall and Garden boasts
30 taps with a selection of local brews. The U.S.
National Whitewater Center, a first-rate outdoor
adventure land, features craft beer at the River’s
Edge Bar & Grill. Head to Lake Norman with a
stop in Cornelius, home of Ass Clown Brewing and
its inspired line of beers.

To complete your Charlotte tasting list, look
for beers from Four Friends Brewing, which
reopened its taproom in March 2013 after a
major expansion.
