The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery opened its new 15,000-square-foot-brewery at 215 Southside Drive in mid-January. Jon Hayward, a founding partner, said his brewery will produce “full-flavored ales and lagers brewed in the centuries-old tradition of Germany.” The company’s initial brew, called OMB Copper Altbier, is authentic Düsseldorf style amber ale that undergoes several weeks of lagering after primary fermentation. Tours of the facility and the tap room will open April 1. Customers can take home fresh beer in 36- and 72-ounce decorative glass containers called growlers that can be brought back to the brewery for refills.
