About the Brewery

Cabarrus Brewing Company is the first full-scale craft brewery in Concord and Cabarrus County, NC. We strive to meld local history, character and traditions with locally produced craft beer!

Located in Concord’s historic Gibson Mill, in a building that was once the finished goods warehouse for the Gibson Manufacturing Company and served as a vital part of Cannon Mills Plant 6, our 15,000 square foot space shows lots of character and enriches our concept of celebrating this area’s history.

Our 15 barrel, three vessel brewhouse is the heart of the facility with the entire production area being visible from throughout the 5,000 square foot taproom. The taproom has an open and expansive bar area, several large tv screens, streaming and occasional live music, along with ample seating. It’s the perfect place to relax, socialize and enjoy a variety of artfully crafted beers.

Why Do This?

The Cabarrus Brewing Company (CBC) was born as the result of combining three very different desires on the part of its founders.

The first was a sincere desire to develop a business concept that its founders, as all long term residents of Cabarrus County with varying professional backgrounds, saw as an investment in and with their neighbors and community in their own back yard. Second was a sincere desire to develop a concept that showcased the area’s rich history and unique character. Finally and certainly not the least important, is a true passion on the part of the entire CBC family for Craft Beer and the sense of community it represents.

With these three objectives in mind and the ability to work with the local planning officials, the founders and entire CBC family is thrilled to bring the Craft Brewing experience to Cabarrus County for all the right reasons.

Our History
People. Place. Product.

The Cabarrus Brewing Company (CBC) was born as the result of combining three very different desires on the part of its founders.

The first was a sincere desire to develop a business concept that its founders, as all long term residents of Cabarrus County with varying professional backgrounds, saw as an investment in and with their neighbors and community in their own back yard.

Second was a sincere desire to develop a concept that showcased the area’s rich history and unique character. Having spent a considerable amount of time in other parts of both the country and this state, every partner felt so much more could be done to share this area’s rich and unique past and history with its rapidly growing population. As the area continues to grow and expand on multiple economic fronts there has never been a more critical time to create something that showcased an economic past that is rapidly being forgotten.

Finally and certainly not the least important, is a true passion on the part of the entire CBC family for Craft Beer and the sense of community it represents. The explosive growth in the craft brewing community here in the United States is no surprise nor is it news to anyone who enjoys craft beer. The national movement to get closer to where your food comes from and a desire to interact with those that grow, produce, prepare and serve it is such a large part of what is driving the craft beer movement. Couple that with being able to gather with family and friends in a warm and hospitable atmosphere to enjoy that local product with a sense of community and you have what the craft brewing movement is all about.
