Read MoreEvery year we collaborate with a different German brewery to create our Fall seasonal beer, Oktoberfest. When our German friends visit to taste the test batch and celebrate “Springtoberfest” here at the brewery, we also brew an imperialized version of this ever-changing recipe and age it in whiskey barrels. The result is a smooth-drinking, strong lager with complex caramel and vanilla notes from its time nestled in bourbon soaked oak.
Read MoreAs the warm weather returned to our corner of the world, we were craving an ultra-crisp, refreshing beer, so we decided to brew our take on the Japanese rice lager style with floral, citrusy Loral hops. A perfect companion for seafood and sultry summer days, these lagers are typically very light, both in body and color thanks to the ample use of rice in the brewing process. The name is...
Read MoreOur Audition series is a place for us to try out new recipes and experiment with new beers. This triple IPA is brewed with Simcoe, Strata, Chinook, and Idaho 7 hops for intense fruit-forward hop aromas of citrus, apricot, and mango.

Read MoreOne of the oldest rivers in the world, the French Broad is also one of the few rivers that flows north. We found this to be a fitting name for our collaboration with Biltmore Estate, which lies north of us along the riverfront.

The finished beer has earthy, herbal...
