E-Malt.com News article: USA, NC: Thirsty Nomad Brewing to close for good on May 28

Charlotte’s Thirsty Nomad Brewing will close its doors for good May 28, the Charlotte Observer reported on May 21.

While the video announcement founder Brad Ledbetter posted to Facebook was short and matter of fact, he has since shared a few reasons that the brewery — which he founded in 2016 — would soon shut its doors. And he said it has nothing to do with COVID-19.

“I just want everybody to not make the same mistakes I did,” Ledbetter said.

Chief among the reasons Ledbetter gave for the brewery’s closure was its location. The office park where Thirsty Nomad is located isn’t far from The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, Sugar Creek Brewing Co., GoodRoad CiderWorks, Queen Park Social and others in Lower South End.
