In March, We’ve Reached the end of this trail
and Blue Blaze Says farewell
Proud to call Charlotte's West End home
Blue Blaze Brewing offers fresh, full-flavored beverages brewed locally in small, artisan handcrafted batches using the freshest ingredients since opening in 2016. Focusing on hiking, backpacking, and outdoor recreationalism, it is a quaint, local, family-owned brewery that supports all manner and sorts of outdoors endeavors. Blue Blaze Brewing is proud to be the first brewery in Charlotte's West End, just about a mile from Uptown at the end of the Stewart Creek Greenway.
Take a stroll — or bike ride — down the Stewart Creek Greenway and pop in to piddle a little on our guitars around the fire pit and grab a pint or two of our fresh beers made from freshly-sourced ingredients.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Paint stripes — called blazes — of different colors are used on the Appalachian Trail to serve as waypoints and indicate points of interest.
Side trails that lead to water, relaxation and camaraderie are identified by a blue blaze.
We named our brewery after the Blue Blaze as a source of inspiration to create refreshing and original beer while honoring the communal spirit of the Appalachian Trail.
Our Team
Blue Blaze Brewing is all about our people. Whether they make the beer, sell the beer, deliver the beer, ‘office’ the beer, or pour the beer, every person here is a critical part of our community & culture. They are what make the hard parts of what we do day-to-day rock. Without these folks, there can not be a Blue Blaze Brewing. Swing by sometime; we’d love for you to meet them.
