Overview
Triple C Brewing Company is the brewery to visit if you are looking for the freshest craft beer in Charlotte.

The Brewers
Scott Kimball is head brewer at Triple C Brewing. In 2006 while hiking the Appalachian Trail, Scott was turned-on to the idea of home brewing. He started growing his own hops and experimented with different blends to create his own home-brews and hone his brewing technique. Scott’s passion for brewing took him then to Dover, DE to be an assistant brewer for Old Dominion and Fordham breweries, then on to Colorado to become the Head Brewer for Eddyline Brewpub.
