Carolina Brewery

Cofounded in 1995 by Robert Poitras, Carolina Brewery is a North Carolina institution with two brewpub locations in Chapel Hill and Pittsboro- each serving fresh, made-from-scratch entrees using local ingredients. The brewery is the fifth oldest in the state and a pioneer for craft brewing throughout the country. Carolina Brewery has received numerous accolades in the press and at respected beer festivals throughout the world, including the gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival, over a dozen medals at the World Beer Championships and many more. A graduate of the Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy in Chicago, Jon Connolly has served as Carolina Brewery's brewmaster for more than 20 years.
