CHARLOTTE BORN & BREWED

EST. 2009

At OMB, our unwavering commitment to fresh, pure, premium-quality beer isn’t just a slogan. It’s an integral part of who we are.

We strictly follow the world’s oldest beer purity law, the renowned German “Reinheitsgebot,” which states that beer should only contain four ingredients water, malt, hops, and yeast. Our brewing practice never compromises on quality, forgoing cheap ingredients, artificial flavors, and added colors. If you want to brew world-class beer, you’ve got to use the best ingredients and sweat the details. We never let cost or speed get in the way of excellence.

Our mission is to bring the Carolinas the freshest beer possible. We may be perfectionists, but when you taste our beer, we think you’ll agree that it’s totally worth it. Prost!

We allow outside cakes/small desserts only. However, we charge a cake-cutting fee of $25 inside the brauhaus.

Can I bring my friendly dog?

Definitely, but dogs are only permitted in the Biergarten area outdoors and must be leashed. Since we strive to provide an environment that is fun and relaxing for everyone, we can’t allow unleashed dogs on our property or dogs that are barking, aggressive, or in any way annoying or frightening to our other customers. If we need to ask you to take your dog home, please don’t be offended and understand that we are a business and need to set consistent rules that apply to everyone.

Does the brewery host live music?

OMB hosts live music every Friday & Saturday evening and sometimes on Sundays. These weekly performances are by talented local musicians who live in the Charlotte area. 

BUYING BEER

Do you sell growlers?

We do. We have 37 oz growlers. Initially, you buy the growler bottle and the beer. When you return with your empty growler, we swap it for a full one, and you only pay for the beer (similar to how propane tank programs work). We will not refill growlers at the bar. We thoroughly clean all returned growlers in the brewery using our $70,000 professional growler cleaning machine (the only one in the country!). This way, a dirty growler won’t taint the taste of our beer or your beer-drinking experience. We then refill the cleaned growlers professionally on our bottling line, with fresh beer, of course.

Do you sell kegs?

We do sell kegs out of the Brauhaus. The kegs come in two sizes. **All deposits are refunded when the equipment is returned!

  • 20L Keg – holds approximately 42 pints
    • $100 keg deposit
    • $60 tap deposit (if you need a tap)
    • Call the taproom for beer pricing
  • 50L Keg – holds approximately 105 pints
    • $100 keg deposit
    • $60 tap deposit (if you need a tap)
    • Call the taproom for beer pricing

Where can I find OMB outside the brewery? Do you ship beer?
