Yes. We are located 800 yards from the Scaleybark light rail stop, which is about a five-minute walk from the brewery. Walk south from Scaleybark stop and take a right on Old Pineville Road. Continue to Yancey Road and take a right.  We’re just down on the right side at 4150 Yancey Road.

At this time, we do not take reservations. We also do not have a hostess; please seat yourself.

We generally have two excellent red and white wine choices available in the Brauhaus. Non-alcoholic choices include Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, water, tea, and coffee.

We have FREE tours every Saturday 2 pm, 2:30 pm, 3 pm, 3:30 pm, 4 pm, and 4:40 pm. Plus, Sunday at 2 pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm. You do not need to register. The tour guide will come around the Brauhaus before tours and invite everyone to join. Because our tours are free, we encourage you to enjoy a flight of beer before the tour so you can decide on which pint or mug you would like to bring on the tour with you.

We are happy to offer private tours. Please schedule your private tour in advance. Private tours are $10 per person with a $100 minimum, and subject to the availability of a tour guide. One pint OR one sampler flight is included in the price for each person. Samples are not given during the tour.

Yes! Our two Festhalle (party halls) are perfect for all types of occasions. Please email events@oldemeckbrew.com or visit the Festhalle page for more information.

We do. We have 74 oz growlers and 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 don’t refill your dirty (er, rinsed) growler at the bar (ick!). We take all returned growlers and thoroughly clean them 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 the beer. We then refill it professionally on our bottling line, with fresh beer of course.

OMB produces its beer in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot beer purity law, which means our beers are all natural, with no chemical additives or preservatives. We also strive to ensure that our beer is always cold, fresh and unaltered in any way. Aluminum cans do possess some advantages in certain venues (stadiums, boats, beach, golf courses) due to concerns over broken glass associated with bottles.

Unfortunately, cans are lined with an epoxy resin to prevent the aluminum from reacting with the beer. This liner contains a chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) (see this link for more information on EDC’s – http://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/agents/endocrine/).

A Canadian Government Study* regarding BPA in beer and soft drinks, published in 2010, detected BPA in 100% of the canned beer they sampled. The study found no BPA in any of the bottled beer it analyzed. The science on whether or not this exposure to BPA has any significant health effect is unsettled. This is beside the point however since it is OMB’s goal to produce all natural beer without chemical additives.

To us, we see no reason to put our beer in a package which we know will leach chemicals into the beer, when there is an alternative package available that will not adulterate the beer at all. Bottles made of glass are totally inert, and therefore do not affect the taste or chemical makeup of our beer. They are also natural and fully recyclable.

And since the vast majority of beer purchased in packages is consumed at home, concerns over broken glass are not significant. OMB is willing to forgo beer sales at the above mentioned venues if it means preventing our beer from being adulterated by its package.
