Go Behind the Beer
By: Legion Brewing Company
Take a Legion Brewery Tour in Charlotte
At Legion, beer is more than a beverage – it’s a craft, and we want to share every step of it with you. From grain to glass, our Brewery Tour in Charlotte offers an inside look at how passion, precision, and local ingredients come together to create your favorite pours.
Where the Magic Happens
In 2022, we opened our West Morehead location, Legion’s largest production facility and the beating heart of our brewing operations. It’s a 17,000-square foot space packed with state-of-the-art equipment:
- A top-of-the-line Braukon brewing system
- A Krones 24-head filler packaging line
- The largest warehouse cooler in Charlotte
- A fully equipped quality control lab
While we produced around 18,000 barrels of beer in 2023, this brewhouse is built for big things, with the capability to produce up to 100,000 barrels annually.
Local Ingredients, Global Quality
We believe good beer starts with great ingredients and for us, that means staying close to home whenever possible:
- Carolina Malt House (Cleveland, NC) and Riverbend Malt (Asheville, NC) supply much of the grain used in our core and seasonal beers.
- Our team hand-selects hops with Yakima Quality Hops in the Pacific Northwest.
We proudly support Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation—because 95% of beer is water, and protecting our local source matters.
Award-Winning Beer, Made with Care
Our brew team lives and breathes the details. That’s why we’re proud to have a few medals hanging in the brewhouse:
- Sláinte, our Irish Dry Stout, won a Silver Medal at the 2025 World Beer Cup (its third major win!).
- Hop Chiller, our Cold IPA, took home Gold at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival.
- Carolina Feather, our local American Light Lager, won Gold in the NC Home-Grown Beer category at the 2020 NC Brewers Cup.
