When it comes to concessions at CLT, the more the merrier. With the Airport’s latest addition, it calls for a cheers, or shall we say in German prost?
Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) Biergarten, renowned in the Carolinas for its traditional German-style beer and high-quality food, first debuted to CLT passengers in 2018 as the quick-service-bar Caption Jack’s Tavern on Concourse E. The brewery recently opened a second, more expansive location on Concourse D. In 2024, The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery was named the No. 1 “Best Beer Garden” in the U.S. in “USA TODAY’s” annual 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.
The 125-seat, 1,785 square foot CLT location is inspired by the brewery’s original biergarten in Charlotte’s LoSo (lower southend) neighborhood. It comes complete with 16-foot replica trees made of real wood and faux leaves.
OMB Biergarten’s menu features the brand’s signature brews made according to the world’s oldest beer purity law, the German “Reinheitsgebot,” including its flagship Copper Altbier, Captain Jack Pilsner and Hornets Nest Hefeweizen – each brewed since OMB’s founding in 2009 – alongside a rotating selection of seasonal beers.
OMB fans will recognize some of their favorite dishes from the local LoSo and Ballantyne taprooms, like jumbo pretzels, sausages and pork schnitzel, and can now enjoy an only-at-CLT, OMB-style breakfast featuring omelets, apple strudel, a.m. cocktails and more.
