Great Brew and Big Hearts OLD ARMOR BEER TAPS INTO KANNAPOLIS BY KIMBERLY BROUILLETTE
Editor’s Note: When we originally interviewed for this article, public health restrictions due to the COVID-19 virus had not yet been instituted. However, the information contained in this story will still be applicable when these restrictions have been concluded. Below is a statement from one of the Old Armor Beer Company founders, Kyle Lingafelt: “In true military fashion we have adapted and overcome the situation. Though we are unable to utilize our taproom and sell what we do on a weekly basis, we are still able to provide deliveries of our brews and to-go orders. We have also been able to provide Old Armor Beer Bonds at a cost less than the value that can be utilized, once the taproom opens back up. Being the hometown brewery of Kannapolis, we have received a tremendous amount of support from those within Kannapolis and Cabarrus County. This is crucial in the support of our beertenders, who rely on tips. We are resilient, and not only will we weather the storm, we have future plans that will make Kannapolis a destination within the Charlotte region.”
