    This Brewery is about the size of Germany! Gorgeous space with tons of room both indoor and outdoor, makes it ideal for gatherings and groups of any size. Grab a sampler and some solid German eats.

    One of the most legit German-style beer gardens I've been to in the US. Sit at a picnic table under a tree, drink an excellent Pils or Hefe, and just chill. Love it.

    Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) is Charlotte's oldest continuously operating microbrewery; it produces the full-flavored, smooth-talking Copper, a Düsseldorf-style altbier - an old-school German brew. Read more

    Their beer is so awesome!!! The food is amazing. In the summer you can bring your dogs to hang with you. This is one of my favorite places here in Charlotte.

    The beer is the best in Charlotte (if you like German brews). The food is great too. Especially the currywurst.

    We went here in the winter and the place was packed both inside and out. You can order food and beer outside and they have heaters scattered around. Lots of dogs too.

    This isn’t just a space to feature its beers — it’s a shot to every other brewery in town: Step your taproom game up. This new space screams destination brewery. Read more

    Awesome spot and now has a full menu and offers wine. Get a tour of the basement, so cool!

    Get yer growlers filled here cheaper than anywhere else. Tours are fun but no samples (only place I've ever been to with none) and no real deal on beer in tap room. Just come for the love of the beer.

    Order the Radler, grab some sunscreen and soak up how awesome life is in their outdoor oasis of beer.

    Excellent beer!!! They have also expanded their food menu to include some very tasty food. The Italian panini was one of the best I have ever had!!

    I need to make a trip back here since I arrived after the kitchen closed. The two types of beer that I had were very well made.

    Spicy Italian Sausage @ Mecktoberfest coupled with an OMB Copper - these two were made for each other!

    If you find a spot outside, you will forget you are in Charlotte and think you have been transported to a German biergarten; 5 minute walk from Scaleybark light rail station

    The tap room is very cool and unmatched in Charlotte as of Fall 2014. And the outdoor seating rocks in nice weather.

    Brats, breadsticks & bier cheese were great. Beer is solid and the place is cool.

    A little disappointed with the style selection, basically just a standard lineup~pilsner, amber, stout, Oktoberfest, pale ale, etc. I prefer one-offs and experimental recipes.

    Good but not great beer but the vibe and atmosphere more than make up for any shortcomings on beer.

    Try the Gyulai. It may sound strange but it's like being in Europe.

    The Dark Hefe Weizen is the best you can get in North Carolina. Maybe the best in Amerika.
