Resident Culture is a locally owned and operated brewery located in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. We have a strong focus on carefully crafted lager beer, assertive hop forward ales, fruited sours, barrel aged stouts and mixed culture ales. We also have an award winning line of Non-Alcoholic beers and hemp based Delta-9 THC/CBD seltzers. We consider our product quality to be extremely important but secondary to how we treat our employees and the human connections we make. We highly value each of our employees and have created a tight community amongst our staff and are looking to expand by adding a full time brewer/cellar person to our team.
