Legion Brewing Featured on Charlotte’s The Cultured Show

Legion Brewing was recently featured on The Cultured Show, CULTURED — Ep. 6: Charlotte’s Food Culture (Part 2), an episode dedicated to highlighting the people, places, and passion shaping Charlotte’s evolving food scene. For us, the feature was a meaningful moment to share what sets Legion apart — elevated brewery food, thoughtful hospitality, and a deep connection to our community.

As a craft brewery rooted in Charlotte, Legion has always believed that food deserves just as much intention as beer. Being included alongside other leaders in Charlotte’s food culture reinforced what we strive for every day: creating an experience that goes beyond expectations while remaining approachable and welcoming to all.

At the center of Legion’s culinary identity is Head Chef Gene Briggs, whose passion for cooking began at a very young age and has grown into a career defined by craftsmanship, leadership, and curiosity. Chef Gene brings a level of thought and care to every menu item — from ingredient selection to technique to how each dish complements our beer.

What makes Legion’s kitchen truly special is the collaborative culture behind it. Gene’s strong relationships with our culinary teams allow creativity and consistency to coexist, resulting in food that feels elevated without losing its sense of comfort. It’s brewery food designed for everyone.

The Cultured Show episode captures what makes Charlotte’s food scene so dynamic: collaboration, creativity, and a strong sense of place. Legion’s feature highlights how those same values live inside our taprooms, kitchens, and brewhouse.

From our thoughtfully crafted menus to our welcoming spaces across the city, we aim to create an environment where people can gather, connect, and enjoy elevated food and beer without pretense. It’s a reflection of Charlotte itself — inclusive, evolving, and community-driven.

As Legion continues to grow, moments like this remind us why we do what we do. We’re proud to be part of Charlotte’s food and beverage community and honored to have our story shared on a platform that celebrates culture in all its forms.

We invite you to watch CULTURED — Ep. 6: Charlotte’s Food Culture (Part 2) and experience Legion for yourself — whether that’s through a visit to one of our taproom locations, a meal crafted by our kitchen team, or simply gathering around the table with friends and great beer.
