Building Town Brewing Co., with George Sistrunk
George Sistrunk was a Charlotte lawyer who enjoyed home brewing. But about 15 years ago, he and three lawyer friends decided to take beer-making to the next level and had the idea of turning their garage hobby into a brewery. That’s the origin of Town Brewing Co., a brewery in Charlotte’ Wesley Heights neighborhood.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Sistrunk talks with host Steve Dunn about making beer and turning it into a business — as well as the parallels to his legal career as a partner at Hamilton Stevens Steele + Martin. Sistrunk was a recipient of The Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Award in 2020. The awards celebrate often unheralded people over the age of 40 who are making important contributions to Charlotte.
