Newgrass Brewery, Preserving The Past While Creating The Future

Food and drink have a remarkable way of bringing people together—sparking conversation, encouraging connection, and creating the perfect backdrop for new ideas and lasting memories. In the heart of downtown Shelby, NC, you’ll find a local favorite that does just that: Newgrass Brewing Company.

This state-of-the-art microbrewery is more than just a place to enjoy a drink—it’s a vibrant gathering spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re catching up with friends or making new ones, Newgrass offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.

Located just two blocks from Greenbrook Design and one block from the historic Court Square, Newgrass holds the distinction of being Cleveland County’s first microbrewery—a milestone we were proud to be part of. We were honored to contribute to the construction of this exciting addition to Shelby’s growing downtown scene and love seeing how it continues to foster community and creativity in our town

Farm-To-Table

Newgrass Brewing Company offers everything you could want in a modern brewery—craft beer, a farm-to-table kitchen, and live music every weekend—all wrapped in a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place that feels both relaxed and refined, making it ideal for casual get-togethers with friends or a laid-back night out.

What sets Newgrass apart is its ability to deliver the quality and experience you’d expect from a big-city venue, all within the charm of a small town. From seasonal brews to thoughtfully sourced dishes and a stage filled with talented musicians, Newgrass brings a vibrant energy to Uptown Shelby that’s truly one of a kind. We’re fortunate to have such a standout destination just steps away from Greenbrook Design.

Preserving The Past

While Newgrass Brewery has only been open since 2015, it is full of charm, character, and history. It is dedicated to preserving the past, which is evident when you walk through their doors. Learn more about the history of the materials and Walker Woodworking’s journey to making Newgrass the beautiful destination it is.

Liver mush. Cleveland County is famous for its liver mush and the festival that has celebrated it for the past 30 years. Due to COVID-19, however, our community had to do some quick thinking to enjoy our yearly tradition still safely. This is how the first-ever virtual liver mush festival was born, and we at Greenbrook Design are honored to be one of the sponsors. Individuals were invited to share a video of themselves preparing their favorite way to enjoy liver mush for a chance to win cash and prizes valued at over $1,000.

The bare essentials. That is how some would describe a minimalist design style, one void of color and personality.
