Belmont & North End Brewery Crawl

The Belmont & North End Brewery Crawl hits the streets of Belmont and North End on Saturday, October 17, as part of Charlotte Craft Beer Week. It's a walkable brewery crawl that takes you through two of the city's beer-heavy neighborhoods, so you can hit multiple spots on foot rather than spending the afternoon in your car. The crawl is one of several neighborhood walks scheduled throughout the week, and it's a good way to see how the scene stacks up across different parts of town.

Charlotte Craft Beer Week itself runs for ten days, from October 16 to October 25, celebrating the Queen City's beer culture and its brewers. Over that stretch, the city fills up with special releases, brewery events, and crawls like this one. If you're planning to do more than just the Belmont loop, you can pick up a free Charlotte Craft Beer Week Passport to check in at participating breweries and events. You earn points for every stop, which you can redeem for prizes like a Charlotte long-sleeve T-shirt or brewery passes.

There's an extra incentive for the crawl specifically: anyone who checks in at four Brewery Crawl stops is entered into a raffle for a brewery gift-card prize pack. So if you're out with a group, you might want to keep a running tally of where you've stopped. The crawl falls on Saturday, October 17, right in the middle of the ten-day run, which makes it a convenient anchor for a beer-focused weekend. The full stretch of Craft Beer Week goes from October 16 to October 25.
