USA, NC: Catawba Brewing Co. permanently closes its Belmont, Charlotte location
News General news
One of Charlotte’s breweries has officially closed its doors, AOL.com reported on August 14.
Catawba Brewing Co. has permanently closed its Charlotte location in the Belmont neighborhood.
“Thank you for the years of support. You are the best part of us. Thank you for entrusting us with your first dates, wedding receptions, first birthdays, friend get-togethers, and more,” a sign placed on the brewery on Monday, August 14 says. “We love you all and will miss you dearly.”
The notice was signed “Your Charlotte Catawba Staff.”
Yet, MaryAnn Anstine, general manager, told CharlotteFive that employees were notified of the closure Monday morning without notice and without reason.
CharlotteFive has reached out to the ownership group for more information, but has not heard back.
The Charlotte brewery, which opened in 2017, was one of four of the company’s locations across the Carolinas with craft beer, food trucks, bingo, trivia and other weekly events.
“We’ll bring a little of what you know from us in the mountains, which tends to focus on the outdoors, to Charlotte,” former co-founder Billy Pyatt, told CharlotteFive ahead of its opening. “Only here, we’ll tie in our new outdoors with views of the city from our taproom and patio.”
According to Charlotte Business Journal, the new management team who acquired the brewery two years ago, Made By The Water, is planning to open a new location in South End.
