Brawley’s Beverage
Charlotte, North Carolina
This Queen City bottle shop showcases one of the city’s best tap lists, too.
What it is: Brawley’s Beverage has undergone many changes since it opened in 2003, but the biggest occurred in 2014. Owner Michael Brawley remodeled the outside to look as it did in the 1970s, when his father ran Mike’s Discount Beverages. As dramatic as the bold red paint, floor-to-ceiling windows, and towering wings on the roof were, the biggest change came with the addition of a tasting room.
