Queen City Brewers Festival

It would take a full weekend — and a drunk one at that — to check off every spot on a Charlotte brewery bucket list, so the Queen City Brewers Festival is your golden opportunity to try them all at once. Participants will get a taste of 36 CLT breweries and enjoy food samples from select restaurants. Your drinking also goes toward the annual winter fundraiser for ACEing Autism, a nonprofit that connects children with autism through tennis. You can still win with a score of love.
