Support your local brewery! Olde Mecklenburg Brewery is having a pig roast from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Wednesday, September 1 to celebrate the launch of their Mecktoberfest lager. Live music in the biergarten.
Too bad OMB's beers are so mediocre...I would rather support breweries that are interesting and of substance like Highland, Duck-Rabbit, and Foothill's...OMB needs to get another "hobby" rather than clogging local tap lines with their below average to average beer selections...
