OMB also strictly adheres to the oldest beer purity law in the world – the renowned German “Reinheitsgebot” which states that beer should only contain 4 ingredients: water, malt, hops and yeast. So that’s all we use at OMB – no wacky flavors, cheap ingredients, or added colors, and absolutely, positively NO SHORTCUTS. This commitment to purity extends to our packaging materials (glass and BPA-free cans) and traditional brewing methods. If you want to brew world-class beer, you’ve got to use the best ingredients and sweat the details; and you can’t let time or money get in the way.

The result is a beer that combines the full flavor of an ale with the crisp, clean refreshment of a lager. Copper is great by itself or as a complement to any cuisine.","available":"All Year","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}$

This subtly sweet wheat beer is rich in body and finishes with notes of banana and clove from the unique hefe yeast. At OMB, we love our local history almost as much as we enjoy brewing our premium local beer.

Compared to a hazy IPA, 704 is decidedly more balanced, with a burst of citrus on the nose courtesy of Loral and Mandarina Bavaria hops and a clean, sweet finish. At OMB, we love all things Charlotte, so it only felt right to name this delicious beer after the area code synonymous with our city.","available":"All Year","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}$

Despite the higher ABV, this porter drinks smooth, owing to the use of lager yeast and extended cold conditioning. With a beer this good, every season is dark beer season! Fat Boy is a tribute to our original brewer\u2019s passion for his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which could often be seen parked outside of the brewhouse in the early days of OMB. Winner of a GOLD European Beer Star.","available":"All Year","created_at":null,"updated_at":null}$
