Our Story

North South Brewing was born from a passion for homebrewing which led to creating, enjoying, and appreciating every beer style. Owners James and Alicia Orlando grew up in New England, but family and military service brought them to Savannah, GA where they met. Ten years later, the military moved them to Fayetteville, NC where they found their new home. The perfect blend of the north and south, where everyone comes together.

James started homebrewing in 2011 in Savannah with just a bucket and a stovetop and 13 years later has blossomed into a full-fledged brewery and taproom. A friend gave him a homebrewed beer which set him down a path of learning how to create and brew excellent beer. To enhance their knowledge of beer, James and Alicia visited every brewery they could and tried every brew they could (what some might call market research, others would call a great adventure). 

We love beer, breweries, and the community it breeds. We’re honored to provide Fayetteville, NC a place to enjoy great beers, great friends, and a fun atmosphere.

"Beer at its best, pairs well with life."
