"Known as a place that tries to keep Charlotte weird, this brewery has a recently renovated rooftop element that is just the place to catch a look at the skyline and the Panther blue-lit Duke Energy Center on game day. Try the Feather Light craft beer (yes, Charlotte has concocted light craft beer) or the Pre-Game Pilsner with a bit of hoppiness. Need to hydrate? Sip on the craft-made ginger ale, with a kick of spice. Don’t miss: The Carolina Sendoffs hosted by the brewery, to wave the team bus by as it drives down South Mint Street. The first one of the season is Oct. 13." - Remy Thurston
