9 Best Craft Breweries near Kannapolis

“My friends and I frequent this brewery and we all love hanging out here. But the new signage for no outside food is very off putting. Since the very beginning grabbing Sabor and hanging out has always been our thing. Now that they have their own “Armor Dog” they want you to purchase food from their but the menu doesn’t have many great options like Sabor! This really sucks, I have always enjoyed grabbing Sabor and hanging out in the social district with their great craft beers or ciders.“

“Of all the breweries in North Carolina, and I’ve been to hundreds, Percent is the most innovative and experimental that I’ve come across. I appreciate their playful and joyful approach to creating small batch, one-of-a kind beers that you won’t forget. If you come to the Charlotte area, this is one of the top three breweries to visit, hands-down.“

“We have lived in the Charlotte area for about 2 years, we have tried a lot of breweries in the area but Southern Strain is BY FAR our favorite!!! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. But best of all, their beers are SO good! The addition of The Eatery has just topped it all off with amazing food! We always bring our out of town friends to Southern Strain!!!“

“We recently had our baby shower at High Branch and it was amazing! We loved the space and got a lot of help setting up. Gabriel also was amazing with answering all of our questions and helping us pick a set up that would work for us.The space for the shower is great for groups of around 35-40, it’s awesome if you like more intimate events. We would definitely use them again.“

“We absolutely love the Grove Cartel. They have a wonderful atmosphere, staff, food and beverages. We go routinely to either eat upstairs or sit and relax downstairs. They often times have live music, music bingo, and other activities to involve the community. A definite must try!!! You will not be disappointed!!“

“Twenty-Six Acres is a hidden neighborhood gem. While the location is a bit obscure, it is well worth the find. We went on a Friday evening. It was busy but not overly crowded.The servers are friendly. The brewery is nicely decorated with plenty of seating. There are plenty of screens to watch whatever sporting events are on. There is also an upstairs area that can be reserved.We were able to order food from Cousins Maine Lobster, which was the food truck on site that evening.Check the website or social media to see what events are happening throughout the week!“

“Always on the lookout for a meadery, Buzzed popped up and was right on our travel path. The facility is quite large with lots of seating and a serving kitchen so many folks were eating meals. While it is a meadery, it offers a wide variety of products. We did tastings and found the Meadow Foam mead extraordinary. It was unfortunate that there was a sales restrctions on mead as we wanted to buy bottles to take home, but their supply was limited to on sale only due to a production issue. Definitely would visit again when in the area.“

“Cabarrus Brewing is a great place to meet friends, watch sports, or just have a locally brewed beverage. Recently they added a kitchen where you can order snacks that pair well with their beers. Upstairs is a large space for organized activities to take place. I just started a beginners shag dance class there. I’m glad CBC is part of our community.“

“Let me just say it was a great experience based on the lack of customer service at some restaurants. Not the case here. Alexis was my serverer. She went above and beyond making me feel welcomed. Thanks for hiring a great staff member BJ's. Me and my family will definetly be coming back!“
