This amber colored beer is an American style pale ale. Three varieties of American grown hops create a pleasing bitterness, aroma and lingering hop taste. Our Pale Ale's medium-light body and clean taste make it an excellent accompaniment to a fine meal or a satisfying drink all by itself.
A medium bodied, dark brown ale with a complex chocolatey, toasted malt taste. The word "nut" in the name implies a dry nut-like taste that makes it distinct from some of the sweeter brown ales. We use five different types of malted barley to give the beer its color and variety of malt flavors.
Our IPA is more heavily hopped and higher in alcohol than our Pale Ale. It is brewed with pale, caramel and cara-pils malts and finished with lots of Cascade and Crystal hops for a strong, citrus/piney flavor and aroma. It is 5.4% alcohol.
Our seasonal beers are available in bottles at the brewery only.

The goat will be back! Brewed in the style of a German Maibock, expect a smooth, fresh, malty taste and a slight alcohol warming sensation from this pale lager beer. It is brewed from pilsner, munich, carapils and caramel malts, Hallertau hops and weighs in at 6.5% alcohol by volume.
Our Summer Wheat has some characteristics of an American Wheat beer and some characteristics of a Bohemian Pilsener. Malted wheat makes up more than 30% of the grain to give it a light, crisp refreshing quality and it is loaded with Czech Saaz hops (both late hopped and dry hopped) to give it the delicate, spicy, noble hop flavor and aroma that you find in the original Pilsener beers. The alcohol content is 4.8% by volume.
The Oktoberfest Lager is a smooth, amber lager with caramel and toffee malt flavors, noble hop flavors and a slight warming sensation from the higher than average alcohol content (5.6 Alc v/v). Balance is important. Fermentation and lagering take place over a six week period at cool temperatures to produce the smooth round flavor.
Our Winter Porter is a dark, black ale brewed in the style of a robust American Porter. It is a balance of roasted malt flavor (from black and chocolate malts), hop bitterness and spicy hop aroma (from Simcoe hops). It is 5.0% alcohol by volume.
We brew a small batch of something special every year to celebrate our Anniversary. The beer is released on July 3rd at our Anniversary celebration at 42nd Street Oyster Bar. Come and join us for the fun. Past beers have included a German Hefe Weizen and a variety of Belgian Specialty beers. Feel free to email us at CarolinaBrewing@aol.com to find out what we have in store for our next Anniversary.
Since our Anniversary is in the middle of the Summer, we decided it would be nice to pick a time during the colder months to brew something different. So, we now celebrate the arrival of the small, furry fella with a small batch of something special. Past beers have included a Dry Irish Stout and a German Dunkel Bock. Feel free to email for more information.
We brew something higher in alcohol to celebrate the Holiday Season that is normally released around Thanksgiving. We have brewed a Barleywine in the past and have plans for an Imperial IPA, but it will change so email to find out how we're celebrating the holidays this year.
