Not Just a Brewery—A Family Story
One house, many flavors, endless good times.
Inspired by Family, Built for Community
In September 2023, we opened the doors to something special—Mint Hill’s first brewery. We named it after our father, Papá Panzú, whose love for Caribbean food and culture shaped everything we do. This place is more than a brewery. It’s a tribute to where we come from and the flavors we grew up with.
Honoring Papá Panzú
Born from a family legacy of flavor, hard work, and heart, Panzú Brewery is the dream of Dominican siblings Rosa and Johan Marte. Inspired by their father—lovingly known as Papá Panzú—they blended their roots, business passion, and love of beer into Mint Hill’s first brewery. Every pour and plate carries a piece of home, served with pride in a space built for community.
Unique Flavors, Caribbean Style
Our food is made to be shared—tapas-style dishes rooted in Caribbean tradition. Expect vibrant flavors, fresh tropical fruits, and ingredients like pork and plantains that feel both familiar and new. It’s food that tells our story, one plate at a time.
What Makes Us Special
What began in our family’s kitchen in the Dominican Republic has grown into a 3,000 sq ft brewery and eatery with bright indoor seating, a heated patio, and authentic Caribbean energy. We brew everything in-house—from hazy IPAs to tropical seasonals—and serve small plates inspired by our roots. Guests love the unique combo of craft beer and Caribbean bites, plus the community feel brought to life through live music, art, markets, and trivia nights.
