About Petty Thieves Brewing Co

Petty Thieves Brewing Co is a brewery and taproom in Charlotte's Lower North End. The beers borrow from world brewing traditions, from Bavarian biergartens to Mexican cervecerias and Japanese izakayas. Every beer is a passport stamp.

The taproom pours small-batch beer brewed on site. The list runs to crisp lagers, sessionable pilsners, bold stouts, experimental sours and hoppy IPAs. A few flagships are always available, and rotating beers fill out the rest of the list.

The room has industrial bones, warm lighting and comfortable furniture. The outdoor beer garden looks toward the Charlotte skyline. Kids are welcome with an adult, and pets are welcome inside or on the patio.

There is no kitchen, but food trucks park at the brewery throughout the week. Trivia runs on Tuesdays, crafters meet on Wednesdays and a run club heads out on Thursdays. Live music is the norm here.
