Welcome to the BREWHOUSE
Legion West Morehead
In 2022, Legion opened our largest production facility in west Charlotte. The top-of-the-line Braukon brewing system changed the game for Legion, allowing us to grow exponentially. The 17,000-square-foot space houses a state-of-the-art laboratory, a Krones 24 head filler packaging line, and the largest warehouse cooler in the city. Although Legion is projected to produce approximately 18,000 barrels in 2023, our brewhouse has the ability to produce 100,000 barrels per year. Legion distributes beer to the greater Charlotte Mecklenburg area and surrounding counties, including York County which lies just over the border of South Carolina.
Quality Ingredients
Carolina Malt House
Much of the grain used in our brewing process is sourced from Carolina Malt House, located in Cleveland, NC.
Riverbend Malt House
Some of our favorite brews are made exclusively with Riverbend Malt, sourced from Asheville, NC.
Yakima Quality Hops
Our brewers visit YQH in the Pacific Northwest to select the hop varieties used in our beers.
Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation
Beer is 95% water, and Legion’s water comes from the Catawba River basin. We support those fighting to keep our water safe and clean.
Award Winning Beers
Sláinte
We’re proud to share that Sláinte, our Irish Dry Stout, just earned a Silver Medal at the 2025 World Beer Cup – one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It’s Sláinte’s third major award, joining a Silver in 2018 and a Gold in 2023, and a huge honor for our brew team.
Awards like this don’t happen by accident. They come from caring about the details—something our team lives every day. At Legion, we “Give a Damn,” and this recognition is a testament to that.
Hop Chiller
Hop Chiller Cold IPA earned a Gold Medal at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival-the largest and most competitive professional beer competition in the country.
Hop Chiller blasts your palate with crisp, bright grapefruit hop character. This Gold Medal winning beer is a hybrid style combining the best attributes of West Coast IPA’s and modern hops using unique brewing techniques. Winning gold in this competition is a true honor-and a reflection of the dedication our brewers bring to the craft every day.
Brown Paper Bag
Brown Paper Bag, our American Light Lager, took home Gold in the NC Home-Grown Beer category at the 2020 NC Brewers Cup-North Carolina’s largest beer competition.
Brewed with 100 pounds of non-GMO grits from Old School Mill in Albemarle and malt from Carolina Malt House in Statesville, it’s crisp, clean, and proudly hyperlocal. A fresh take on a classic lager—simple, familiar, and made with care.
