Our Story

With a collective passion for home brewing and exemplary craft beer, Suzie Ford (President & Co-Founder), Todd Ford (Vice President & Co-Founder), and Chad Henderson (Head Brewer & Co-Owner) teamed up to create a craft brewing identity that would connect to and grow alongside their beloved city of Charlotte.

Opening in the fall of 2011, NoDa Brewing Company received a warm welcome and has since expanded to three locations (The OG, North End, and the CLT airport) and continues to be one of the crown jewels of the Queen City.
