Catawba Brewing Company Charlotte
Catawba Brewing Company is a longstanding regional brewery originally founded in Western NC in 1999, with a Charlotte Belmont taproom that served locals for over six years. In August 2023, the Belmont brewpub and production facility closed suddenly, with employees reportedly notified on the morning of closure and no severance offered, though the brand indicated it was seeking a better location. The closure was part of a broader contraction under the brewery’s corporate ownership, though the Catawba brand itself continues elsewhere in Western Carolina.
