Protagonist Beer | Mission-Driven, Local-Focused Craft Brewing from Charlotte, NC
Our beers are odes to classic styles, named after the Protagonists who inspired them.
Southend Brewery
Sip on Protagonist beer straight from the source at our flagship 15-barrel brewery. Be mesmerized by our pizza chefs tossing dough into 28” pies. There’s plenty of room to spread out over 3 bars, a barrel room and heated outdoor patio. Come by, enjoy some beers and share a whole pie with friends.
Noda Taproom
In the center of Charlotte’s NoDa arts district, the original Protagonist location is an R&D nano-brewery. Curious beer drinkers can taste from 20 taps and the Fridge of Curiosities, both of which feature Protagonist beers and a highly curated collection of our favorite craft beers from around the world. Beer cocktails, wine and snacks are also offered.
Good People,
Great Beer
As we grow, we’re exploring new ways of working beyond the brewery to make our neighborhood and our city a better place.
