Legion SouthPark showcases reclaimed wood from Carolina Urban Lumber

by Legion Friends and Beer

Legion Brewing proudly partnered with Carolina Urban Lumber to supply wood for our walls, bar tops, community tables, barn doors and other furnishings. Carolina Urban Lumber uses wasted and unwanted logs from the tree canopy here in Charlotte to create their products. The amount of wood in Legion Brewing SouthPark that you can see, sit, and rest your beer glass on stored 40,000 pounds of CO2 during its life in the canopy. These trees would have otherwise been cut down in a forest, harvested, and transported elsewhere if we had not used this unique method.
