Hyde Brewing and The Suffolk Punch
The Vision
The “Rail Trail” corridor of South End Charlotte has experienced incredible growth. Doerre Construction was proud to contribute to this growth, and be part of the team that could “Create a Grand Opening” for Hyde Brewing and The Suffolk Punch, an exciting new brewery and restaurant located at 2911 Griffith Street. The Doerre team converted a historic bow truss building into a property that now houses a coffee shop, restaurant, brewery, and fermentation lab.
The Project
This multifaceted project included the conversion of a 7,800-square-foot bow truss building in historic South End into the exciting restaurant, brewery, and coffee house space it is now. Original masonry, steel, and timber construction played a large role in creating a unique space for the new brewery, restaurant, and taproom areas. The project was a full interior and exterior renovation, including new electrical, HVAC, plumbing systems, outdoor patio space, landscaping, and cosmetic exterior work.

The Grand Opening
The building now contains Suffolk Punch, a local-ingredient restaurant with a 48-tap bar; a brewery with six 30-barrel and two 15-barrel fermenters; Hyde Coffee Bar, an outdoor area with another 16 beer taps; an entrance onto the Lynx light rail line (it’s just a few steps from the New Bern station); and an upstairs lab for all the chemistry that goes into making beer.
