< Previous Next > NoDa Brewing Adds Distribution to the Triangle Area of NC January 30, 2020 NoDa Brewing Company is pleased to announce another exciting expansion, adding additional territory in the state of North Carolina in the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill region. Leveraging the recent change to the NC self-distribution laws, NoDa will be distributing in these markets themselves. This announcement comes on the heels of yet another giant leap forward for NoDa Brewing with their expansion last week into the Charleston, South Carolina market. NoDa Brewing Company will enter the Triangle Area market with Hop Drop ‘n Roll IPA, their World Beer Cup American IPA Gold Medal winner, and also notable beers such as Radio Haze Juicy/Hazy IPA, Jam Session Pale Ale, CAVU Blonde Ale, Great American Beer Festival Silver medal winner Coco Loco Porter, and more. Draft and 16 oz canned four-packs will be available for all year-round brands and seasonals, with select special releases starting spring 2020. “For more than four years we have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to expand our self-distribution footprint to the greater Raleigh-Durham area,” said Todd Ford, Founder/co-owner of NoDa Brewing Company. “After the 2019 passage of HB363, we have the opportunity to grow and extend sales to one of the best craft beer territories in the nation. We look forward to being a part of a growing craft beer scene with our Gold Medal winning IPAs, Porters, Lagers, and seasonal offerings. Our Raleigh-based NoDa Brewing team is excited to support many of our loyal, and established customers, while building long-term relationships with new retail partners.”

The 2012 GABF competition awarded 254 medals to some of the best commercial breweries in the United States. Presented by the Brewers Association , GABF is the largest commercial beer competition in the world and a symbol of brewing excellence. NoDa Brewing Company was recognized in the Robust Porter category for Coco Loco, a deeply rich porter brewed with cocoa nibs and coconut, and one of the brewery’s most popular beers. Now, in 2021, NoDa Brewing has grown into a 60-barrel brewery located in Charlotte North Carolina that prides itself in serving great beer across the Carolinas. “You always feel good about a beer until you get to the awards ceremony,” Chad Henderson, head brewer and owner, reminisces. “It’s like a punch to the gut hearing how many other beers have been submitted.” “We don’t brew to win awards. We brew because we love the creativity of it all,” Todd Ford, vice president and owner says, “so when you get recognized for that creativity, it’s a really valuable feeling.” Henderson adds, “Not only does winning at GABF help solidify your recipes and make you feel more legitimate, but it also pushes you to continue reaching after excellence.” Coco Loco earned the category’s top honor with a silver medal (no beer was awarded gold), bringing the brewery its first national recognition. Award-winning brewers received prestigious gold, silver and bronze medals in 84 beer categories covering 134 different beer styles (encompassing subcategories), establishing the best examples of each style in the U.S. Winners were chosen from 4,338 competition entries from 666 breweries, hailing from 48 states, Washington, D.C. and Guam. Matching its largest field of entries to date, this year’s GABF competition saw its biggest panel of judges ever, with 185 beer experts from 11 countries participating, with assistance from 120 competition volunteers.

< Previous Next > NoDa Brewing Company…Where Diversity is Brewed & Inclusion is Served October 7, 2021 We’ve grown in many ways the past decade – in staff, taprooms, distribution, and beers! And also in another aspect – diversity; diversity among our brew family, our customers, vendors, events, and organizations we support. We’re proud to have employees who are diverse and value diversity. As a company, we’re guided by many of what we call FUNdamentals and we’d like to share our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) one with you… “Embrace an Intentionally Diverse and Inclusive Culture Through Awareness: Be an example, advocate, and ally to promote a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment within ourselves and our community. Actively learn, share, and bring awareness. Be the change you want to see.” We’re placing diversity front and center behind the scenes and more evidently for all to see in our latest mural. It has an interesting story… Once upon a time a fairly small brewery renovated an old factory so it could share more of its passion. Murals were painted by different artists. One of the murals included portraits of the employees who worked there at the time. There was diversity among them as far as gender, orientation, and other things, but no people of color. Those people are now behind a beautiful new mural that represents so much diversity! The local artist is the very same, the talented visionary Carla Garrison-Mattos. She actually used to be the run club manager and a bartender, and is now a full time artist. She was elated to paint over her decade old work, and said it may be her most meaningful mural yet. What do you see in this mural? If you take a close look you will find symbols of Latinx and Asian American & Pacific Islander cultures in a sizzling sun and a field of lotus flowers. You will find symbols of the elderly, the hearing and visually impaired, and those with atypical neurological gifts. The nine hands of various skin tones contain a hidden message, unless you know (ASL) American Sign Language…D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y. We’re excited, as employees, to enjoy this everyday, and even happier to share our spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusion with the world, or at least our little part of it. We welcome everyone to share a pint with us. You belong at NoDa Brewing. #nodabrewing #youbelongatnodabrewing #nodabrewingdiversitymural

< Previous Next > NoDa Brewing Partners with Together We Stand NC for MAUD 2.23 and Courageous Conversations January 26, 2022 Charlotte, North Carolina, January 26, 2022 The Ahmaud Arbery case resonated with millions of people of color. Chasing, hunting, and killing a person because of the color of their skin is an act of cowardice, fear, and ignorance. Together We Stand NC started in June 2020 in response to Arbery’s murder. What originally began as a memorial run, has evolved into multiple opportunities for compassionate, courageous conversations and the awareness of the daily plight of people of color. “Our goal with the Maud 2.23 run is to remind people of all races what can happen in America on any given day,” says Tyrone Irby, founder of Together We Stand NC and creator of Maud 2.23. “In February, we will remember Ahmaud Arbery. Unfortunately, there are countless other names of Black men and women unjustly murdered or attacked that we could remember as well.” Every day of the week from February 19-26, there will be at least one Maud 2.23 run in North Carolina. Twenty-two breweries and running clubs have committed to the initiative. Maud runs are scheduled in Charlotte, Wilmington, Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Carrboro, Greensboro, Greenville, and Pineville during the week. NoDa Brewing Company and the NoDa Brewing Run Club will host two Maud 2.23 runs: Sunday, February 20th at 12pm and Wednesday, February 23rd at 6:30pm. This run/walk will be held to Arbery’s memory and encourage our participants and the greater community to speak about the senseless violence against Black communities in America. While the live Maud 2.23 events are based in North Carolina, there is also a virtual option for people anywhere to participate. In February 2021, the Maud 2.23 events registered over four hundred runners from twenty-three states and sixty-five cities while raising $4740 for the Durham People’s Alliance. This year, virtual runners from Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin have already registered for the 2022 event. A portion of proceeds from Maud 2.23 will support the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Greensboro, Building Hope in Greenville, and Charlotte’s Running Works. Irby has hopes for 1,000 registered runners and to raise $12,000 for the above-mentioned charities. Together We Stand NC and NoDa Brewing have decided to funnel the donations from all Charlotte events and t-shirt sales to Running Works, a local charity in Charlotte. $8 of every registration will be donated to the charity. The event is presented by the socially conscious running shoe brand HOKA, Fleet Feet Sports, CEP Compression, Lock Laces, Omega Sports, and RunCLTRun. The Charlotte kickoff event will be held at NoDa Brewing on Sunday, February 20, 2022, at 12pm. The event will be followed by a session of Courageous Conversations with the subject, The Language of Racism . Register here: https://bit.ly/3GRrscw Registration for the run is $25 and includes a Maud 2.23 long sleeve shirt. All registered runners/walkers also receive a chance to win prizes including free running shoes from HOKA, CEP Compression socks, and LockLaces. When you register, you are committing to running or walking 2.23 miles during the week of February 20-26, 2022 and we encourage you to share your run/walk with your friends and family to engage in a conversation about race. We invite you to join us for Maud 2.23 and we ask that you remember and honor Ahmaud Arbery as We Run as ONE.

< Previous Next > Charlotte-Douglas Airport Tap Room Grand Opening October 30, 2018 See the original article here. The NoDa Brewing taproom at Charlotte Douglas International Airport is now open at Concourse A Fresh off celebrating its seventh anniversary, NoDa Brewing is continuing to expand its footprint and reach. Last week, NoDa’s taproom at Charlotte Douglas International Airport officially opened to the estimated 122,000 people who pass through daily. Charlotte Douglas ranks in the top 10 yearly for busiest airports in the country, so when HMSHost, the global restaurateur that provides many of the travel dining options for the airport reached out to NoDa to gauge interest, it was a perfect fit. “We’ve had a great relationship at the airport, with us being in 15 bars and restaurants and selling very well,” NoDa Brewing co-owner Suzie Ford says. “When HMSHost approached us and inquired about opening a taproom, we immediately answered that of course we were. The partnership between us has been outstanding throughout the whole process of getting the airport taproom open. The taproom is located in Concourse A and features 11 NoDa beers on tap, along with a number of 4-pack cans to go. As Ford notes, it compares to a slimmed-down version of NoDa’s brewery and taproom. “The concept is really neat because (HMS Host) wanted to bring what we have here to the airport,” she adds. “And I loved that because obviously not everyone can get to the taproom and brewery to go on a tour to see what we have.” NoDa joins Olde Mecklenburg as the second local brewery to have a presence at the airport, as OMB’s Captain Jack’s Tavern opened in June. On tap you’ll always find NoDa’s staples such as the award-winning Hop Drop ‘n Roll, Jam Session, Coco Loco and CAVU. But the brewery is also committed to having seasonals and small batches (this goes for cans too) at the airport taproom as well. Last week’s opening saw Gordgeous, Roaring Riot and Hop Experiment on draft, as well as a specially-created beer for the new taproom, Layover Lager. Along with the beer, NoDa’s space has a full-service taproom complete with food. Menu items include salads, sandwiches, pizza and tacos, along with breakfast options for the early travelers. “It’s an amazing food lineup; this is not your typical boring airport food,” Ford says. “I love the menu; it’s different than what you see at any other airport where you don’t go to a restaurant.” In total, NoDa’s airport taproom seats 46, which includes a circular bar and several tables. Moving forward, NoDa Brewing’s taproom at Charlotte Douglas Airport will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (and yes, the brunch bill applies even at the international airport so no beer served on Sundays until 10 a.m.). “I don’t even know if I can put into words how exciting this is because it’s something that’s totally different and really introduces us to a new crowd,” Ford says. “Many of the travelers at Charlotte Douglas won’t be leaving the airport so it’s not like they can even get to a restaurant or bar that carries us. “We’re fortunate that Charlotte has grown and embraced everything local – especially beer. And this allows us to now give more people a taste of Charlotte.”

< Previous Next > Grain to Glass Series: Packaging July 28, 2017 If you haven’t read the first post in this series, hop back and read “ Grain to Glass Series Introduction ,” then come here! In 2012, the year after our opening, we were ready to begin packaging our products so that fans and customers could enjoy our beer no matter where they were! We started with a few limited bottle releases, but in 2013, owners Todd and Suzie Ford were ready to get creative by packaging our beer in a way that no one else in the city and surrounding area was. We unveiled our brand new 16 oz. Hop Drop ‘N Roll and Jam Session cans that year and immediately we knew we had a hit on our hands. In the last four years since, we’ve really cranked up the can game. Admittedly, we’re can-crazy, and it’s been contagious; The #ShowYourCans hashtag that we coined has generated nearly 6,000 fan photos! When we first began canning at our original N. Davidson brewery, we were canning about 30 cans per minute. Today, on the new system at our N. Tryon brewery, we’ve quadrupled our productivity, and now produce about 120 cans per minute. In 2017, we’ve already canned more than 989,000 cans! In fact, about half of our sales are thanks to our cans. Here are a few more can-tastic packaging facts: We can about 100 barrels of beer at a time. The largest amount that we’ve canned at one time is 33,600 cans (It was NoDa Bandito, our Mexican Lager). To date, we’ve canned 2.5 million Hop Drop ‘N Rolls! To date, we’ve canned 5.2 million beers! One of the things we’ve loved the most is packaging is redesigning our popular beer labels to be can-ready. Below is a list of all the beers we’ve canned thus far (and their introduction dates): Hop Drop ‘N Roll - September 2013 Jam Session - September 2013 CAVU - March 2014 Coco Loco - October 2014 Hoppy Holidays - December 2014 Hop Cakes - Feb 2015 NoDajito - May 2015 Gordgeous - September 2015 Par 4 - April 2016 River Jam Jam Session - May 2016 Ramble on Red - June 2016 Monstro - October 2016 Sticky When Wet - October 2016 NoDaRyeZ’d - October 2016 Captain Peanut Butter’s Chocolate Revenge - October 2016 Stop, Collaborate & Glisten - October 2016 Good Will Hopping - October 2016 Roaring Riot - November 2016 NoDa Bandito - April 2017 Pacific Reign - April 2017 Woody & Wilcox’s Hop Experiment - May 2017 Cheers to many more years of cans!

< Previous Next > The OG Taproom Grand (re)Opening May 15, 2019 Check out the original article here. By Melissa Oyler for CharlotteFive When NoDa Brewing Co. employees escorted the last guests from the taproom’s original location in July 2016, it would be three years before the public would be able to walk back in for a beer. The lack of parking had become a real challenge for the space. Its across-the-street lot was being converted into apartments, so something had to give, at least for a little while. Yet, the brewery’s co-owner, Suzie Ford, knew that by closing the taproom, she was locking away years of memories — this space had served as a marker of NoDa’s place as a pioneer in craft brewing. In 2011, NoDa Brewing opened North Davidson Street’s first taproom. Birdsong Brewing moved in next door a couple of months later; its current location remains down the street. On the same street now are Free Range Brewing, Heist Brewery, Salud, Divine Barrel Brewing, Bold Missy Brewery and soon-to-be Wooden Robot Brewery‘s new location. NoDa Brewing was the first Charlotte brewery to release a new beer each week. It was the first in town to can its own beers. It was the first local brewery to win a World Beer Cup, taking home a gold medal for Hop, Drop ‘n Roll in 2014. In 2016, while guests temporarily relocated to the new and bigger taproom 1.2 miles away at 2921 N. Tryon Street, the original location at 2229 N. Davidson continued to serve as a space for brewers to create and age NoDa’s sours, as well as some other barrel aged non-sour beer, called “clean” beer. Aside from a few events here and there, including Queens Feast, the taproom remained closed to the public. Finally, on May 17 after a makeover, the original space will reopen to beer drinkers once again. In addition to the new/old taproom space, the North Davidson spot will specialize in their sour program called “Boba Brett’s Sour Project”. “Oh my gosh, we are so excited,” Ford told CharlotteFive. “As I wrote the Facebook event, I got a little tear in my eye because that’s where it all started. The craziest thing is that sometimes it just seems like yesterday we opened our doors, and others, it seems like forever ago because I can’t really remember a time the brewery wasn’t part of our life. It’s a great feeling.” Chop & Chisel meals will be offered, plus Rhino Market & Deli will be open across the street, Ford said. Parking remains the biggest challenge for the brewery’s space. Yet, the apartments that led them to close the place are almost finished — now, all of those units translate into potential customers. A couple of other apartments in easy walking distance are also in final stages of construction, Ford said. “So we figured the time was right.” For those not lucky enough to walk to the new/old taproom, Ford suggested other forms of transportation: Lyft, Uber, scooters and the light rail (25th Street Station is a .6 mile walk and Parkwood Station, .7 mile). “Hopefully everyone remembers that when coming to visit, we are going to have the same challenges as they do in other neighborhoods. If everyone parks properly, we have about 15 parking spots on-site — so that’s a good start and more than many businesses have,” she said. Something to keep in mind: Lyft has a new partnership with the Charlotte Independent Brewers Alliance. If you take a Lyft to a participating brewery — including NoDa Brewing — and show the bartender your receipt, you’ll get a code for half off of your ride home. Run, sweat, beer, repeat NoDa was also the first brewery in Charlotte to host a run club. On any given Wednesday after May 2012, hundreds of sweaty runners would pack into the taproom and its surrounding outdoor digs, recovering with a cold one and cursing the notoriously hilly route — and still doing it all over again the next week. The run club will live on at the North Tryon location, said run club leader Carla Garrison-Mattos. “Although the old routes are nostalgic, the run club is so large that the North End taproom simply accommodates our parking and hangout space needs better than the OG can,” she said. The close proximity of the two locations just begs for a run challenge between the two spaces, Garrison-Mattos said. “Runners can start at one location, grab a beer, and run to the other taproom anytime they want.” That actually could be a fun plan for special run club events, she said — so lace up. What’s more Charlotte than finding love at a brewery? The taproom also hosted plenty of first dates, with some of them actually turning into Queen City-style fairy tales. On a recent Instagram story, NoDa Brewery took a poll with romantic results: Five couples who had their first date at the original taproom responded they are now married, and 15 couples responded they are still dating each other. “Warms my heart that people are in love with that location, as we are. After all, it was the second tap room in Charlotte — so I guess it makes sense that people would have some cool memories,” Ford said. Ashley Appell and Jacob Fehl met in January 2015 through co-workers. Appell had recently moved to Charlotte from California and had never been to a brewery, so Fehl knew just where he wanted to take her when he asked her if he could show her around Charlotte. “I chose NoDa for their variety of beer options and how knowledgeable the staff is on the products they offer. I was nervous when she actually agreed to hang out and also figured a brewery would be the perfect place to break the awkward first date jitters,” Fehl said. Appell’s first brewery drink was a flight of NoDa’s beers, and she must have liked what she’d seen — in both Fehl and the craft beer scene. “We actually made it an adventure over the next few years to try and visit as many breweries in Charlotte as possible — and still continue to go every weekend,” Fehl said. The wedding is in June. When the couple scheduled a date to get their marriage licence, they just happened to pick May 17 — which would later be announced as the day the taproom reopens. “When NoDa posted the picture about the OG location, we freaked out with excitement,” Fehl said. It’s like it was meant to be.

< Previous Next > NoDa Brewing Company Claims Bronze Medal at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival® October 8, 2022 NoDa Brewing Company Wins Prestigious Brewing Honor in Experimental IPA Category NoDa Brewing Company won a bronze medal at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition. Presented by the Brewers Association , GABF is the nation’s largest commercial beer competition and recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States. NoDa Brewing Company was recognized in the experimental IPA beer-style category for its Big SLURP, a juicy imperial IPA that uses this unique flavor concept from hops in the mash as the foundation of an amazing citrus hop ride. Big SLURP is hopped with Galaxy, Cascade, Ekuanot, and Centennial hops and is infused with tangerine and orange zest. NoDa Brewing Company is a 60-barrel brewery located in Charlotte, North Carolina that prides itself in serving great beer across the Carolinas. “Big SLURP is the first large-scale entry of our SLURP series which features new brewing techniques and products to emphasize unique flavors, such as Thiol, and capitalize on fruity flavor components while being more efficient and more repeatable in production," said Chad Henderson, head brewer at NoDa Brewing Company. "Having a successful brand is amazing by itself, but winning a GABF medal takes it to a new level. Especially considering that it won in a category that is essentially deemed as an innovation IPA category. I do believe we are one of, if not the first, thiol expressive IPAs to enter in this category and it makes me so excited to see where the brand will go in the future!” The top three winners in the competition’s 98 beer categories covering 177 different beer styles were announced on October 8 at the Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. The 2022 GABF competition winners were selected by an international panel of 235 expert judges from 9,904 entries, plus 94 Collaboration and 35 Pro-Am entries, received from 2,154 U.S. breweries. “Each year the Great American Beer Festival showcases the best that American brewers have to offer,” said Chris Williams, competition director, Great American Beer Festival. “With more than 9,900 entries, this year’s competition was the most competitive to date. Congratulations to all the winners who truly demonstrated why the U.S. is the best brewing nation in the world.” For more GABF competition information, including the 2022 winners list and photos, visit GreatAmericanBeerFestival.com .
