| - I drink way less now than I used to at various times in my life. And I was never a huge drinker of beer regardless. Yet it is still nice to see that the Queen City has another local gem in the form of the OMB.
Not the first brewery in the city limits by a long shot, yet definitely a different breed than the more corporate stylings of Hops, Rock Bottom or even the now-departed South End. This is more akin to a winery, where you can see the inner workings - and even take a tour if you so choose - partaking of the product at the end. Or even at the beginning, or skipping the tour entirely in favor of the suds.
I get that the City of Charlotte has little in the way of country charm, or charm at all for that matter, having long ago forgone those details in the favor of building at all costs. So the one downside is that the OMB is on a side road, in a very industrialized location that you are most assuredly not likely to find unless you really know where you are going, and even once you do, you probably will not be overwhelmed by the exterior of the building. That is truly a shame. Be patient, as the inside is not nice, but it is nicer than the outside by a large margin.
