Charlotte has long been known as a banking town, but its reputation may be changing. You can't throw a rock around here without hitting a brewery. Not that I'm complaining. Here's the question, though: what's the best way to visit all of these amazing breweries? That's where City Brew Tours come in.

If you want to sample the best beers the Queen City has to offer, City Brew Tours can help. The company, which recently launched a Charlotte franchise, offers two options. For $70, you can partake in the Sip of Charlotte Tour, which will will feature three breweries and a local snack. Or, for $99, go for the Original Charlotte Tour, which stops at four breweries and includes a barbeque meal pairing at Noble Smoke.

City Brew Tour's Charlotte brewery tours begin June 26th and will embark from The Westin Charlotte in a 14-passenger van. It's better to let someone else do the driving. Some of the local breweries participating include Armored Cow Brewing, Ass Clown Brewing Company, Lower Left Brewing Company, and Suffolk Punch. You can find more information HERE.
