Mooresville NC breweries

King Canary

King Canary opened its doors back in 2018; it was started by Matt and Andrea Gravina.  Unfortunately, in less than a year of opening, Matt passed away unexpectedly in 2019. 

Andrea & the team at King Canary have been able to keep Matt’s legacy going and have turned this into a successful brewery here in Mooresville.  Their concept is a family-friendly microbrewery. Upstairs, you will find a kid’s play area, and games are available outside.   

Here, you can enjoy outdoor seating as well as inside the 2-story building.  As you sit, you can also enjoy views of Lake Norman from the patio.  Dogs are welcome in all the outside areas.  

They also have food trucks; you will want to check their calendar for the schedule!  

In the warmer months, join them for the social paddle club, get out on Lake Norman, and bring your kayak, canoe, or SUP.  Happens every Tuesday at 6:30 pm; they ask that you sign a waiver and bring a life jacket.  

In addition to beer, they also serve prosecco on tap, wine, and cider.  They do offer non-alcoholic options as well, a locally brewed Kombucha from Lenny Boy and Uncle Scott’s natural root beer. 

You can also take beer to go with a crowler and 16 oz-4 packs.   If you don’t know what a crowler is, it’s like a growler but in a can.  

They do have live music, usually on Fridays, but check their calendar for more details.

Ghostface Brewing Brewery & Pizzeria | Social District

Ghostface has three locations throughout Mooresville; we will actually break down two of them separately, which are now located next door to each other. 

So, let’s start with Ghostface Brewing Brewery & Pizzeria.  Located in downtown Mooresville and serves beer and New York-style pizza.  Ghostface Brewing features up to 20 beers, along with mead and ciders. 

They rotate the beers fairly regularly but have a core selection you can choose from daily.  You will always have an option between light, hoppy, dark, and malty.  They have gluten-reduced beers as well.

This is the second location for Ghostface Brewing, next door to the Pizzeria.  Here, you will find even more beer, wine, cider, and a full cocktail bar. There’s something for everyone.

With the pizzeria moving next door to the Beer Lab, you can now move between the two and keep the same tab open. You can also now get pizza from next door at the Beer Lab!

There is a new kid in town as of the end of 2022. Boondoggler’s offers craft beer, wine, cider, and more. They brew their beers on-site.

Currently, on their website menu, you will find an Amber Ale, Amber Lager, Blonde Ale, Hefeweizen, Honey Wheat, Norwegian Citrus IPA, Porter, and a Stout.

We stopped in, and they only had one of their own beers; the rest were from other breweries.

I’m sure since they are new, they will be adding more of their own over time. We played some music bingo on a Tuesday night and had a lot of fun!
