What Charlotte's weather means for breweries
July averages a high of 90°F and about 49 days a year reach 90°F, warm enough for a summer tee run without turning the whole shelf over to heat. Once highs dip under 65°F in November, swap the front of the shelf to hoodies and beanies until March; January, at an average high of 52°F, is the heart of that season. With about 44 inches of rain a year, an embroidered rain shell or coach jacket is a useful add for staff and for regulars in the wetter months. The low dips to 32°F or colder on roughly 58 nights a year, so a hoodie that layers under a jacket sells well once the first freeze arrives, and patio staff need a warm layer for evening shifts. About 4.4 inches of rain fall in August, the wettest month, so schedule patio releases and outdoor events for other months.

Ordering from Charlotte
When should a taproom in Charlotte lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Summers are hot enough here that tees and mesh-back caps should own the shelf from April to October, then give way to hoodies and beanies as the nights cool.
