BREWERS OF TASTY LIQUIDS SINCE 1995
YEAR-ROUND BREWS
Carolina Pale Ale
5.1% ABV • 36 IBU
This golden 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.
WIGGO! IPA
6.3% ABV • 54 IBU
Wiggo! is a malty, copper-colored IPA. There is a lot of dark caramel malt to balance the aroma and flavor from the hops. We use Nugget and Cascade hops in the boil with Mosaic and El Dorado for dry hopping. Cascade brings the classic pine and grapefruit while Mosaic and El Dorado add aroma and flavor of tropical fruit, citrus, berry, herbal, earthy, and pine.
Brown Ale
4.9% ABV • 21 IBU
A medium bodied, dark brown ale with a complex chocolatey, toasted malt taste. It has a dry finish 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.
Hop Roar West Coast Style IPA
7.5% ABV • 85 IBU
This light bodied brew uses pale, caramel 10, carapils, and Caravienne malts. Hops include Columbus, Centennial, and Citra in the boil with Chinook, Amarillo, and more Citra in the dry hop. This beer has lots of pine, grapefruit, tropical fruit, citrus, spice, floral, among other aromas and flavors.
Be Like Mike NE IPA
5.8% ABV • 47 IBU
We brewed this beer for our 23rd Anniversary and it was such a hit we have kept it going. This New England IPA is juicy, fruity, and of course hazy to go with a mild bitterness. We used Golden Promise and Gambrinus Honey malts to sweeten it and lots of flaked oat and wheat to create the mouthfeel and haze. Mosaic, Amarillo, Citra, and El Dorado are the hop varieties. This combination of hops brings lots of citrus, tropical and stone fruits to the aroma and flavor. Looks like this one is here to stay!
SEASONAL BREWS
Spring Bock
6.5% ABV
The goat will always 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 and Hallertau hops. Available March through May.
Summer Ale
4.7% ABV - 22 IBU
We have a new recipe for 2018. This is a variation of our old Summer Wheat. Malted wheat makes up 30% of the grain and combined with the light caramel malt it has a light body and crisp refreshing taste. Nugget, Crystal, and Amarillo are the hops varieties used. Nugget for bittering with Crystal and Amarillo for aroma. The aroma hops add soft earthy, floral, herbal, and citrus notes. Available June through August.
Oktoberfest
5.6% ABV
The Oktoberfest Lager is a smooth, amber lager in the Marzen style with caramel and toffee malt flavors, noble hop flavors and a slight warming sensation from the higher than average alcohol content (5.6% ABV). Balance is important. Fermentation and lagering take place over a six week period at cool temperatures to produce the smooth round flavor. Available September and October.
Winter Porter
5.2% ABV
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 combined with hop bitterness and citrusy hop aroma from Cascade hops. Available November through February.
SPECIALTY BREWS
Imperial Stout
9.5% ABV • 74 IBU
This dark roasted ale gets its color and flavor from crystal and black malt and roasted barley. Nugget and Willamette provide the hop character. The flavor is loaded with intense roasted coffee, bitterness, and dark chocolate notes. It has a dry edge with a nice alcohol flavor all making for a great winter beer. No groundhogs were harmed in the making of this beer. Available February 2.
BBA Imperial Stout
9.5% ABV • 74 IBU
This dark roasted ale gets its color and flavor from crystal and black malt and roasted barley. Nugget and Willamette provide the hop character. The flavor is loaded with intense roasted coffee, bitterness, and dark chocolate notes. It has a dry edge with a nice alcohol flavor all making for a great stout. The Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrel adds sweet vanilla, pear, hints of spice, and a subtle oak and char to the aged stout.
Pace Yourself Pilsner
5.1% ABV • 29 IBU
We brewed a classic Pilsner for our friends at Pace Yourself Run Company in Holly Springs. It is the official beer of the South Wake Beer Mile. The crisp light body from pilsner malt finishes with a spicy hop character from the Saaz Special hops.
Oatmeal Stout
5.8% ABV • 39 IBU
Our Oatmeal Stout is a full bodied stout with a creamy head and rich mouthfeel from the addition of oats. The oats add a sweetness to balance the dark roast flavors and earthy hop character.
Five Star Coffee Stout
5.8% ABV • 39 IBU
We collaborated with our local roaster on this great Coffee Oatmeal Stout. This is a blend of Five Star’s Finca Santa Lucia Medium Dark Roast and our Oatmeal Stout. There is a pronounced coffee nose of chocolate, caramel, and nuttiness which blends well with the roasted malt flavor from black and chocolate malts. The coffee adds an additional creaminess to the beer while not overpowering the Stout. The sweetness of the oatmeal helps balance the coffee and dark roast malts.
Belgian Tripel
8.7% ABV • 22 IBU
Our Belgian Tripel is a deep golden-colored ale with complex fruity ester (banana), clove, peppery spice, and bubble gum aroma & flavor. There is also a definite warming feeling from the high alcohol. It is made with a large amount of pilsner malt with some caramel malt for a little sweetness and color. It also has a dose of Belgian Candi Sugar to add to the alcohol and give it a slightly dry edge to the mild sweet finish. It is hopped with Hallertau and Saaz hops.
