The Beer News

Here are this week’s new and events happening in the Charlotte, North Carolina Area!

• Thursday, July 4th. Kölsch Release. Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. 11 am-10 pm. For your 4th of July enjoyment, we present to you OMB’s take on the classic beer first brewed in Cologne, Germany – Kölsch.

  A perfect beer for a hot Summer day with its delicate fruit and light malt aroma, crisp, smooth body with good carbonation (all OMB beers are naturally carbonated) and airy sweetness with a gentle hop and spice flavors.

  We serve our kölsch in the traditional straight-sided glass (stange) to show its wonderful golden straw color.

  The kölsch is a Brauhaus Reserve beer, meaning it will only be available on draft at OMB (Brauhaus & Biergarten).

  It’s a great brew to enjoy in the relaxing atmosphere of our Biergarten – especially right before going to see some fireworks! Prost!

• Friday, July 5th Margarita Gose Release. NoDa Brewing Company. 2 pm-10 pm. Join us Friday, July 5th for a new margarita-inspired brew. This light, 4% ABV beer is kettle soured to give a clean tartness. It’s fermented on lime juice and tangerine purree in order to mimic flavors found in the classic Margarita. We also add salt at the end of the boil, so you don’t have to add it ter Sale. Carolina Beer Temple Charlotte. 12 pm-11:30 pm. Free tickets at EventBrite.com. Don’t go thirsty this Independence Day weekend! Stop on by the Temple as we offer a $1 discount on ALL 4 packs, 6 packs, Crowlers, and Growlers!
