By the numbers alone, Salud’s a must-visit, with 12 drafts and another 450-plus packaged craft beer offerings. The community here is the real star, drawing a who’s who of the Charlotte beer scene as regular patrons. As other bottle shops expand their draft offerings, Salud creates the curve, announcing an on-site nanobrewery by year’s end and the return of last year’s well-received Release the Funk Sourfest in November.
