Friday night was just the beginning...thanks to everyone that joined us for the debut of "False Alarm" Brew at NoDa Brewing Company! Meet Rebecca, the brew master behind this fabulous concoction! She kept seeing Old No. 7; Charlotte Fire Department respond to the brewery due to false alarms, so she created this brew to support Firefighters' Burned Children Fund (Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Chapter) and NC Firefighters Burned Childrens' Fund. Stop by the 32nd St location to have a taste!

Come see us Friday night!
To our favorite "frequent flyers" at Fire Station #7, this one is for you. 🚒🍺 We’ve kept the local crew busy with a few too many accidental alarms in the past, so we brewed False Alarm as a liquid "thank you" for their patience. 😅
Come grab a pour with us this Friday, where we'll be donating $2 of every pint to the NC Burned Children’s Fund. 🧡
False Alarm is a 4.6% Smoked Helles Lager, brewed with oak-smoked grain and hickory-smoked malt by our brewmaster, Chad! 🪵🔥
