Outer Banks Brewing Station

The Outer Banks Brewing Station began as a concept in 1992 while Eric Reece and Aubrey Davis were Peace Corps volunteers in Thailand. Aubrey had grown up spending summers at his grandparents’ place on the Outer Banks, and felt it was the perfect place to start a brew pub. Eric and Aubrey had developed an interest in home brewing, and Eric worked at a brewery in Berkeley, California with future OBBS Brewmaster Scott Meyer. As their concept grew, they envisioned an environmentally friendly restaurant that celebrated the uniqueness of the Outer Banks and its history. The building itself is a modern interpretation of a turn-of-the-century Lifesaving Station. The bar represents the lifesaving boat pointed toward the sea ready to be deployed down the tracks to save the crew of a floundering ship. The tracks are made from beach bricks that Eric's wife Tina had collected. Eric, tired of moving the bricks, had them sunk into the floor!We pride ourselves on using fresh ideas to resurrect old traditions, turning ordinary experiences extraordinary, and putting the most into your dining and nightlife experience. This requires a very special place and many special people to make it all happen. At the Brewing Station, you'll find bits of brewing history along with various pieces of the lost Outer Banks.
