Legion Brewing FAQ
Why is Legion Brewing different from other breweries in Charlotte?
Legion Brewing isn’t just about beer – it’s about people. Rooted in Charlotte, we’re on a mission to spark real connection and celebration wherever and whenever folks need it. As one of the largest craft breweries in the city, Legion has become a local favorite thanks to our award-winning Juicy Jay IPA, welcoming taprooms, and signature Campfire Hospitality — warmth, inclusivity, and good times for all.
Our fans consistently vote Legion as one of the best breweries in Charlotte, and we’re proud to have earned a shelf full of local awards to prove it. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship, community, and joyful experiences, we’re crafting more than beer — we’re creating moments worth remembering.
