Old Armor Beer Company, at 211 West Avenue, Kannapolis, offers a wide variety of locally brewed, carefully crafted beers.

Check out a huge calendar of events at Charlotte breweries.

The brewery supports veterans and first responders through its Pay It Forward Board. It allows anyone to give back to their favorite military branch or first responder department. If you’d like to pay it forward, when you go to the brewery, just pay for a pint, select which branch of service or department you’d like to support and they’ll add your donation to the tally on the chalkboard.

If you’re a veteran or first responder, when you come in, just show your badge or ID and if there is a free beer on the board for your branch of service or department, it’s all yours!

Make sure to explore the rest of Downtown Kannapolis while you’re there! Here’s an itinerary for visiting Kannapolis.

Old Armor Beer Company hosts frequent events. You can see them on their website and Facebook page.
