ABOUT OMB

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) is a celebrated craft brewery based in Charlotte, North Carolina, known for its unwavering commitment to quality, authenticity, and hospitality. Founded in 2009, OMB proudly brews its beers in accordance with the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot of 1516), producing traditional, high-quality beers made with only water, barley, hops, and yeast.

OMB currently operates two hospitality-driven brewery destinations. Our flagship location in Charlotte's Lower South End (LoSo) features a full-service restaurant, brewery, and expansive biergarten, and has become one of the region's most iconic gathering places. In June 2024, OMB expanded with the opening of a second location in Ballantyne — a large, two-story restaurant and biergarten designed to elevate the guest experience and extend OMB's presence in the Charlotte market.

OMB is deeply rooted in the Charlotte region and takes pride in being a place where exceptional beer, authentic food, and genuine hospitality come together. Each location is built around creating memorable experiences for guests and a strong, values-driven culture for our team.
