Celebrate small biz during upcoming Charlotte Craft Beer Week

If you like beer, like small businesses that brew their own beer, and like businesses that serve locally brewed beer, then say hello to a week of more than 100 beer events at craft breweries, bars and restaurants around the city, from March 14 to March 22. 

During Charlotte Craft Beer Week, restaurants and breweries around Charlotte will be offering drink specials, hosting events and giving away beer swag, from pint glasses to koozies to bottle openers.
