and hot competition
Charlotte's brewery scene is a bustling metropolis, but tucked away on the "edge" of town is a hidden gem that feels like a secret handshake: Edge City Brewing. This isn't just another taproom; it's an urban oasis where the beer is fantastic and the vibe is so chill, you'll forget you're just minutes from the city's hustle and bustle.
First and foremost, let's talk about the beer. Edge City is a paradise for the adventurous palate. Whether you're a devout fan of hazy IPAs, a sour connoisseur, or a stout-lover, they have something that will make your taste buds do a happy dance. Their menu is a constantly rotating list of creative brews, from the tropical-hopped "Foggy Bottom Boi"Â to the fruity and tart "Hakuna Kumquata". They even offer wine, cider, and kombucha, so your non-beer-drinking friends will be just as happy.
But Edge City is more than just a brewery—it's a community gathering spot. The space itself is a masterpiece of design, bringing the outdoors in with a ton of live plants and colorful, comfy furniture. The huge windows and high ceilings create an airy, open feel, and the outdoor patio is the perfect place to hang out with friends, family, and even your dog! It's a place where you can bring the kids to play while you enjoy a pint under a shady pergola.
The owners, brothers Jared and John Thomas, grew up in the brewery haven of Asheville and have brought that same welcoming, inclusive spirit to Charlotte's MoRA community. They host a variety of fun events, like trivia nights and run clubs, and often have a food truck on-site. And if there's no food truck, don't worry—you can easily order a pizza from Hawthorne's NY Pizza right next door and have it delivered to your table.
So, if you're looking for a low-key, friendly spot with some of the most innovative beer in Charlotte and a vibe that feels like a backyard party, make your way to Edge City Brewing. You'll quickly see why it was voted one of the best breweries in Charlotte.
