Flagships

There’s that special feeling when you see the coast crest upon the horizon. We believe we've captured it in this IPA.

American Porter
In honor of the Black Pelican, we crafted this Maple Porter. Brewed with pale ale Malt, flaked oats, toasted oats, and vanilla – along with a hearty addition of maple syrup – this beer will keep you content indoors, so you don’t have to challenge the wrath of the sea and find safety behind the wing the Black Pelican.
Fruited Sours
Fruited Gose
Brewed with a pound per gallon of Raspberries, Lemons, Lemon Zest, and Lemongrass, the aroma of this sour wheat hits hard with a great balance of berry and citrus. Following is a prominent raspberry profile and background note of tangy lemon - all while being carefully tied together to create a perfect balance of acidity and fruit.

Using about a pound per gallon of strawberries and blackberries, and blueberries, the aroma of this brackish sour wheat hits hard with a big, berry jam nose. This then follows through onto the palate - allowing a careful balance of acidity and fruit.

IPAs

New England IPA
Boasting a golden yellow haze and cloudy soft mouthfeel, this first run of our Tropospheric IPA series finds a balance between its layers of grapefruit zest, blueberry and apricot notes, accompanied by a clean bitterness delivered by Azacca and Cashmere.
Fruited Double IPA
Pouring dark orange in color, a melody of stone fruit bursts from the glass. The flavor follows suit from our use of real peaches and apricots.
These notes come together from a coordinated dance between the fruit and our double dry hopping of Nelson Sauvin and Columbus hops.
Wave Rider Small Batch Series No. 14 - Ahhhroma
New England IPA
The fourteenth iteration in our Small Batch IPA Series. This version was hopped with a blend of ahhhromatic hops. These produce a big nose of melon and tropical fruit.

In the glass, this beer pours a bright straw color and presents a wonderful aroma of lush tropical fruits and citrus. These flavors follow through with specific characteristics of melon and stone fruit.
Money Island Black Lager
Schwarzbier
A century ago, this island we call home was also known as the Atlantic City of the South. As the depression of the 30’s began hitting the country, it too hit this region, and Money Island went as dark as this beer.

Hazy Pale Ale
This hazy pale ale is a tribute to all the men and women of our United States military.

*Available exclusively at Mill Whistle Brewing's taproom
Fruited Sour
Celebrating Untappd's 10 year anniversary, our version of this worldwide collaboration was brewed with our friends at Epiphany Craft Malt using all NC grown malt.
We used Epiphany's fresh local malt of barley, spelt, and gold rice to create a truly special local product. We then generously fruited this sour ale with curuba, creating a burst of tart tropical flavor!
