“We’re very excited about winning the 2022 North Carolina Brewers Cup,” said Robert Poitras, CEO of Carolina Brewery. “North Carolina is one of the top pioneer states for craft beers in the country, so to win a gold medal over so many great beers is a huge accomplishment. Our Costero Mexican Lager is one of our newer beer brands and this win is great validation. We’re very proud.” Visit Carolina Brewery’s Find Our Beer tab located on their website to find a Costero Mexican Lager retailer near you.
Carolina Brewery would also like to announce the completion of their restaurant and brewery renovations in Chapel Hill. Near the entrance, Carolina Brewery added a full garage door that opens to a new bartop area. This space includes new bar stools and more bar seating. Carolina Brewery has also replaced the original brewery tanks with a brand new brewing system that will brew beer both for the restaurant as well as be used for recipe and development for the entire brand. The new brewing system includes a reverse osmosis water filtration, which few other breweries in the area use, showing the continued focus on quality of Carolina Brewery beers.
“We’re very happy with how the completed renovations turned out in our Chapel Hill Restaurant. Our goal was to utilize our front space so our customers would have a better experience when they visit with us,” said Robert Poitras, CEO of Carolina Brewery. “We are most excited to engage our customers back with our brewers right here on Franklin Street; especially after the pandemic.”
Carolina Brewery’s Chapel Hill Brewpub is located at 460 W Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. Reservations can be made through Carolina Brewery’s website.
