Carolina Brewery, the oldest brewery in the Triangle, turns 25 years old on February 9, 2020. To commemorate the event, Carolina Brewery in Pittsboro is hosting two events. The restaurant and brewery is throwing a tapping party on February 5th, and holding an open house on Saturday, February 8th. These events will celebrate the reopening of the restaurant after extensive renovations, an updated menu and the launch of a new pale ale.

Carolina Brewery has invested in extensive renovations at both of its locations. In 2017, it modernized its brewery restaurant in Chapel Hill, and the renovations to its Pittsboro locations were completed at the end of January. The Pittsboro restaurant now boasts a more open floor plan, new tables and booths and new lighting and decor. Diners can see its dynamic kitchen in action and better partake in events on the patio. Garage doors and large-pane tower windows have merged the restaurant’s dining room and huge outdoor patio. When the garage doors are up, it creates a more welcoming and festive atmosphere. These combined spaces and the new patio bar will enhance Carolina Brewery’s regular tapping parties, seafood boils, oyster roasts, concerts, and other gatherings for Pittsboro and the Triangle.
