These 4 NC Beer Gardens Nominated For USA Today’s 10Best

NORTH CAROLINA — Spring is fast approaching. And while the pandemic still makes socializing at local bars and pubs tricky, the beer garden opens up much broader possibilities for social distancing while imbibing.

In keeping with that spirit, USA Today has tasked a team of beer connoisseurs and taste experts to nominate beer gardens across the nation that are worthy of being highly regarded on 10Best.com. Four North Carolina Beer Gardens, including The Charlotte Beer Garden and VBGB Beer Hall and Garden in Charlotte made the leaderboard.

Now it’s your turn. 10Best is an ongoing reader’s choice award. That means it’s up to you to decide if your hometown or neighborhood beer garden should be one of the Top 10.

Here are the nominees in North Carolina:

• The Raleigh Beer Garden, 614 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh
• The Charlotte Beer Garden, 1300 S. Tryon Street, Charlotte
• Funkatorium Biergarten, 147 Coxe Avenue, Asheville
• VBGB Beer Hall and Garden, 920 Hamilton Street, Charlotte
