CHARLOTTE — Weathered Souls is looking for a Hail Mary to keep its Charlotte brewery afloat.
The Black-owned brewery has closed its kitchen and cut Sunday hours as it attempts to ride out ongoing financial challenges, says Mike Holt, co-owner.
Holt’s hopeful that serious, ongoing talks will lock in a new partner and keep the South End location open — a best-case scenario for Weathered Souls.
“It’s kind of pins and needles right now,” Holt says. “We’re looking for survival.”
