CHARLOTTE INDEPENDENT BREWERS ALLIANCE MEMBER
TOWN BREWING COMPANY
Town Brewing Company’s journey from a humble garage gathering of four home brewers, to a thriving brewery nestled in the Wesley Heights Neighborhood is a testament to passion and perseverance. Since its opening in 2018 in a rehabbed auto garage, Town Brewing has become a cherished fixture in the Charlotte craft beer scene. From its roots in Wesley Heights to its expansion into markets across the Carolinas, Town Brewing has witnessed and contributed to the region’s craft beer explosion. Now boasting statewide distribution in North Carolina and some in South Carolina, so many places can become the spot to have your Town. With a heartfelt invitation to visit the brewery or seek out their beers in local establishments, Town Brewing Company eagerly anticipates sharing their garage-brewed creations with beer enthusiasts everywhere.
IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY
Founded in 2020, the Many Faces Initiative raised funds for the North Carolina Brewers Guild’s Diversity Scholarship Program through Town Brewing Co.’s release of Many Faces West Coast IPA. In 2021, the Many Faces Initiative will continue its mission by launching a paid ten-week brewery internship program designed to provide mentorship and offer an immersive training experience to people of color interested in pursuing careers within the craft brewing industry.
The Many Faces Initiative was founded with the purpose of fostering diversity and inclusivity within the craft brewing industry. In 2020, the Many Faces Initiative raised funds for the North Carolina Brewers Guild’s Diversity Scholarship Program through Town Brewing Co.’s release of Many Faces West Coast IPA.
In 2021, the Many Faces Initiative will continue its mission by launching a paid ten-week brewery internship program designed to provide mentorship and offer an immersive training experience to people of color interested in pursuing careers within the craft brewing industry. This year, five breweries across North Carolina will host interns. Interns at each brewery will rotate through different areas of operations at their host brewery (brewing, sales, marketing, and taproom and event management).
All interns will also work on a capstone project for a deeper dive into a craft beer topic of their choosing during the internship and will benefit from networking events and a guest speaker series. Big shout out to all of the breweries who will be hosting interns this summer! Thank you for joining us in our efforts to be a force for change within our industry.
Town Brewing Co. has successfully graduated three interns from the many faces initiative and continues to stay active with the scholarship year after year.
