Resident Culture Brewing

Since opening in September 2017, Resident Culture has become one of Charlotte's most acclaimed breweries. Their flagship Plaza Midwood location, housed in a family-owned warehouse since 1982, serves as both brewery and taproom with an active brewing operation you can smell as you enter. The motto 'where your weird is welcome' captures their inclusive, funky community vibe.
