The Lynnwood Grill was established in 2004 and quickly grew into a local favorite. Our passion for giving our customers what they want led to the addition of a small craft brewery in the back of the grill. Lynnwood Brewing Concern was born, driven by our dedication to serve our regulars the finest brews in the Triangle. Thanks to our attention to detail and insistence on using the finest and freshest ingredients, it didn’t take long for word to spread beyond our regulars. With local acclaim and some national awards, it was clear that our space in the back of the grill wasn’t enough. So when a brewing company in Five Points moved to a new location, we saw an opportunity to expand our operation. It was the perfect chance to get the space we needed to continue producing our beloved favorites while adding new and exciting brews to the line-up. Now our brewmasters are hard at work in two locations, crafting the beers you love—and making sure there’s plenty to go around.

Founded in 2009, The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery ignited the ultra-premium beer scene in Charlotte and has been at the forefront of the local market ever since. OMB adheres to the oldest purity guidelines in the world, the German “Reinheitsgebot.” This law states there can be only four ingredients in beer: barley or wheat malt, hops, yeast and pure water. The brewery’s tour was named best in the country by the readers of USA Today. OMB was also named best microbrewery in The Charlotte Observer’s Reader’s Choice Awards as well as touted as a “buzzworthy” local spot by the Observer’s Living Here magazine. Try OMB because it’s local, drink it because it’s fresh.

NoDa Brewing Company was founded on a homebrewing culture. We proudly offer more varietals than most and are always stretching our creative muscles and looking for exciting new flavors. Every Tuesday we roll out a NoDable small-batch beer that’s only available in our taproom. We have never made the same beer twice and we never will. Just to make it fun, our staff dreams up, creates and posts a video for each NoDable every week, which you can find on our YouTube channel. At the end of the year people vote for their favorite NoDable and we bring it back and brew a full batch.
