Our Story | NoDa Brewing Company

At NoDa Brewing Company, every pint is brewed with passion and poured with purpose. What began in 2011 as a shared dream between Suzie (President & Co-Founder) and Todd Ford (Vice President & Co-Founder), alongside Chad Henderson (Head Brewer & Co-Owner) has grown into a Charlotte staple. For 13 years, we’ve been crafting beers that embody quality, creativity, and a love for our community.

Now, with two vibrant locations—North End and CLT Airport—we’re proud to remain one of the Queen City’s crown jewels.

This is our journey, and it’s only the beginning.

BREWED WITH PASSION
POURED WITH PURPOSE

our story is built on a foundation of creativity, passion, and community. These aren’t just words to us—they’re the heartbeat of everything we do.

For us, brewing is our art. From bold beers to innovative seltzers and beyond, every creation is a canvas, reflecting our passion for pushing boundaries while staying true to our roots.

We take quality seriously—obsessing over every detail to ensure every sip is just right. But ourselves? Not so much. Brewing is meant to be fun, and we bring that same spirit to every creation, our team, and the community we love.

Passion is our purpose, and it’s what keeps us crafting drinks worth sharing.
