Devil’s Logic Brewing: A Sudden Farewell
Devil’s Logic Brewing, a well-regarded name in Charlotte’s brewery scene, will cease operations after business on July 26. Known for its innovative brews and welcoming atmosphere, Devil’s Logic has been a staple for beer enthusiasts. The reasons behind the closure have not been fully disclosed, but it reflects a challenging environment for local breweries.
Frothy Beard Brewing: A Brief Stint in South End’s Gold District
Frothy Beard Brewing’s Charlotte location is set to close on July 28, marking the end of its less-than-year-long journey at 1200 S. Graham St. This location has proven to be particularly tumultuous for breweries, with Frothy Beard becoming the fourth casualty following Bhramari Brewing Co., The Salty Parrot, and Sunstead Brewing. The rapid turnover at this address points to underlying challenges in maintaining a sustainable brewery operation in this part of the city.
A Troubling Trend
The closure of these two breweries is part of a larger trend affecting Charlotte’s craft beer industry. Rising costs, increased competition, and changing consumer preferences are all contributing factors. The economic pressures on small businesses, especially in the food and beverage sector, have been exacerbated by external factors such as supply chain disruptions and inflation.
For now, fans of Devil’s Logic Brewing and Frothy Beard Brewing will have their last chance to enjoy their favorite brews and bid farewell to these local institutions before they close their doors later this month.
