Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Off the Eaten Path and Axios Charlotte. Updated August 2026.
NoDa Brewing Company · NoDa
The first brewery in NoDa (2011) and home of the award-winning Hop Drop 'n Roll IPA.
Wooden Robot Brewery · South End
An urban-farmhouse brewery blending tradition and innovation, with a NoDa wood-aging Chamber.
Birdsong Brewing Co. · Optimist Park
A Charlotte staple, where the Jalapeno Pale Ole and Free Will are local favorites.
Divine Barrel Brewing · NoDa
A rustic, unfussy taproom at 3701 North Davidson Street that keeps the focus on what is in the glass rather than on the decor. It has poured in NoDa for eight years and carries one of the higher Untappd ratings among Charlotte breweries, which is the drinking public's own verdict rather than a critic's.
