Olde Mecklenburg Brewery LLC

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) is a renowned craft brewery based in Charlotte, North Carolina, celebrated for its dedication to traditional German brewing methods and high-quality beers. Established in 2009, OMB has become a cornerstone of Charlotte's craft beer scene. It offers a unique blend of Southern hospitality and classic German brewing traditions.

At the heart of OMB's brewing philosophy is a strict adherence to the German "Reinheitsgebot," or beer purity law, which mandates that beer be brewed using only four ingredients: water, malt, hops, and yeast.

This commitment ensures that each beer is crafted with purity and authenticity, avoiding artificial flavors and additives. OMB's flagship beer, Copper, is an authentic Düsseldorf-style Altbier that combines the full flavor of an ale with the crispness of a lager.

This makes it a versatile choice for beer enthusiasts.

Beer Selection and Awards

In addition to Copper, OMB offers a diverse range of German-style beers, including the award-winning Mecktoberfest Märzen Lager. This beer has earned multiple gold medals at the European Beer Star, known as the "World Championship of Beers."

This dedication to quality has solidified OMB's reputation as a leading craft brewery in the region.

German-Inspired Pub Experience

Beyond brewing, OMB provides an authentic German-inspired pub experience. The Brauhaus menu features traditional dishes such as bratwurst, Bavarian pretzels, schnitzel, and a selection of sausages and sides.

These dishes are designed to complement their beers perfectly.

The brewery also hosts popular events like:

• Annual Mecktoberfest
• Live music weekends
• Seasonal celebrations

These events foster a vibrant community atmosphere.

Locations and Facilities

The brewery's flagship location at 4150 Yancey Road in Charlotte boasts one of the largest Biergartens in the Southeast, spanning over an acre. It is surrounded by mature oak, pecan, and hickory trees.

This expansive outdoor space is family and pet-friendly, featuring picnic tables, fire pits, and a playground. It makes for an ideal setting for gatherings and relaxation.

In June 2024, OMB expanded with a second location in Ballantyne, marking the area's first brewery. This 14,000-square-foot establishment includes:

• Full-service restaurant
• Spacious Biergarten
• Second-level balcony overlooking the outdoor space

The Ballantyne location continues OMB's tradition of high-quality beers and authentic German cuisine in a welcoming environment.

Upcoming Expansions

Looking ahead, OMB plans to further expand with upcoming locations in Mount Holly and Cornelius, North Carolina.

The Mount Holly site, expected to open by late 2025, will feature a Brauhaus and Biergarten overlooking the Catawba River.

The Cornelius location aims to serve the outer markets in the Charlotte region with additional Biergarten and restaurant options.
