When you walk through the doors of our Brauhaus, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a Bierhall somewhere in Cologne or Düsseldorf. High ceilings, warm wood paneling, and a lively community atmosphere make the Brauhaus a great place to pull up a chair and enjoy whatever fresh flavors OMB is pouring that day.

A note about the latest mandate:

Plenty of space and obsessive cleanliness have been enduring hallmarks of the OMB experience since the beginning here. As we prepare to reopen, we have been diligent in taking necessary precautions to ensure a healthy and successful reopening in Phase 2 (beginning May 22). We’ve been extremely busy in our preparations to reopen and we will continue striving to provide the absolute best experience possible for all of our guests. We would like to thank everyone who came by our Drive-Thru and we wish you many enjoyable beers in the shade of our Biergarten trees. 🙂

The only thing better than drinking Charlotte’s freshest beer is drinking Charlotte’s freshest beer in the largest Biergarten in the Southeast. Reminiscent of the world famous Biergartens of Munich, OMB’s ‘garten is a natural oasis just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of “real life.” Set on eight (yes, eight) picturesque acres surrounded by 100-year-old oak, mature pecan and hickory trees, the wide-open spaces of the Biergarten make it an ideal place for families to eat, friends to meet, and even for pets to enjoy a little down time.

Whether it’s a beautiful spring day playing cornhole, or a cold evening huddled around a blazing firepit, you won’t find a better atmosphere in the Queen City to enjoy a fresh, cold beer. When you’re here you may wonder if it’s the beautiful surroundings that make the beer taste soooooo good, or if it’s the remarkably fresh beer that makes the Biergarten feel like the best place on Earth. Darned if we know the answer, but we invite you to do all the necessary research here until you figure it out.

You can also enjoy a limited-offering food menu from the ‘Garten Grill while relaxing outside.

VISIT THE BREWERY and TAKE A TOUR

If you’d love to experience America’s best brewery tour, you’re in luck – it’s right here at The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery! We’re honored to have received this recognition from USA Today, especially considering all of the great breweries operating around the US. Hopefully, the rest of the country now knows what we’ve known for years: Charlotte, NC is one of the best fresh-beer-loving towns in America!

*Please see free tour times listed below

When you tour our brewery, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the time-honored brewing processes that we use to create all our classic German-style beers. You’ll learn more about how we strictly adhere to the world-famous German “Reinheitsgebot” beer purity law of 1516 that requires beer to be made only of water, malt, hops and yeast. You’ll touch (and taste) our barley malt, smell our Bavarian noble hops, and learn how OMB beer is brewed, lagered and packaged. We invite you to come learn (and experience) all you can about Charlotte’s freshest beer.
