Lake Norman Brewery

|
David Waggoner and Dan Ackerman met in 2017 when the Ackerman’s bought the house next door to the Waggoner’s, which David built, by the way. David has lived in the Charlotte area his whole life and has lived in Denver since 2005 and is a mechanical engineer and general contractor.
Dan was an IT executive with more then 20 years of home brewing experience and working as a beer captain at large beer festivals. During the next year and over many home brews, we came up with the brilliant idea (still to be proven to our wives) to open the first brewery in Lincoln County. This would allow us to combine our shared love of craft beer and the community. With this in mind, the brewery would be built with local companies to the greatest extent possible.
We were able to find and purchase eight acres of un-cleared land with tons of trees and many peaks and valleys. We felt would be the perfect backdrop for enjoying a beer out on the patio, by the fire pit or while playing corn hole. This meant we had to invest more time and money in preparing the land and building the utility infrastructure. Although this meant sacrificing being the first brewery in the county by a month or two, we believe this decision will be worth it in the long haul. We sincerely hope you find this to be true as well.
