A Charlotte based brewing company is growing rapidly. Suffolk Punch Brewery is heading to Birkdale Village in Huntersville. Here is more on the new tap room heading to this North Carolina lake community.
The brewery just opened a location in the Southpark area and is ready to grow again. This 1,600 square foot tap room is planned for The Grove area, right in the heart of the shopping area. Seth Stidham, co-owner of Suffolk Punch Brewery and also Chief Operating Officer says going into the Lake Norman market fits perfectly into their plans. Here is what he shared with Channel 9, “We look for opportunities where we can serve neighborhoods and add value to a local community,” he says. “Where we can turn up the volume on great beer and great food in a unique environment.”
The jewel-box location will be a bit smaller than their other locations. Guests will have other shopping options and be near the adjacent concert pavilion. To learn more get all the details from Channel 9 in Charlotte right here.
