Walstonburg, N.C. – Corporate Ladder Brewing Company announces plans to operate their first North Carolina location in the NW Greene Industrial Park in Greene County. This innovative brewery recently acquired the former Billy Beer building, a facility covering approximately 10,000 square feet and 4 acres of land within the park.
Corporate Ladder Brewing Company, located in Florida, is renowned for its selection of craft beers, which include fruited sours, adjunct stouts, barrel-aged sours & stouts, hazy IPAs, and lagers. They remain dedicated to innovation while maintaining a vigilant awareness of market trends.
This marks Corporate Ladder Brewing Company’s inaugural presence in North Carolina, and the facility will be solely dedicated to the production and distribution of their distinctive craft beers. It is anticipated that the site will employ between 10 and 15 individuals. In September of 2023, Corporate Ladder Brewing earned a Gold Medal in the Dessert Stout or Pastry Stout category at the Great American Beer Festival.
