Depending on your youth, this flavor will either take you back to your mom's homemade blueberry cobbler, or eating gushers gummies with your friends.

IPAS AND OTHER ALES

2nd Anniversary IPA

6.7%

New England IPA

To commemorate our 2nd Anniversary, we wanted to go bold. In doing so, we chose to brew this hazy, pale orange IPA with two oil rich hops – Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin. On the nose, you’ll take in the aromatics of grapefruit, pine sap, and mango. This follows through on the palate with an herbal dankness, some green hop, and fruitier notes of melon, peach, and juicy fruit gum. These flavors are all held in balance by a background bready cracker note, a mild bitterness, and a soft mouthfeel. In the brewers' opinion, this beer drinks like tropical mimosa.

Kill Devil Belgian Golden Ale

Belgian Golden Strong Ale

As lore goes, there's a stash buried beneath those hills strong enough to kill the Devil himself. As the trickster he is, he passed on this recipe of deceitful strength. With it, we crafted this beautiful golden ale. Smooth and devious, this libation will catch you when least expected - just like the original charlatan himself.

Cumulus IPA: Tropospheric Series No. 003

6.8%

New England IPA

Pouring with a gorgeous golden-yellow haze, the third run of our Tropospheric IPA series finds a balance between its layers of juicy cantaloupe melon and mango, with a soft bitterness reminiscent of pulpy grapefruit juice. Within this batch, we wanted to go heavy on one of our favorite hops – Citra. Playing support, you’ll also catch some candied fruit notes from El Dorado. Both varieties were Double Dry Hopped, leading to a heavily saturated hop character. White wheat and toasted oats lead to a balanced malt background and cloudy soft mouthfeel, concluding with a clean finish.

Brewed on the Midsummer Day, our Solstice Wheat is a beautiful and hoppy American ale. Crafted with a blend of white wheat, toasted oats, and Vienna malt, this beer’s feature character comes from our use of Centennial and Cascade hops.

Sour Session IPA

Daddy Never Sleeps at Night is an acidic and double dry hopped Session IPA featuring Mosaic and Centennial hops.

On the palate, there are prominent flavors of orange sherbet and citrus pith, with a dank and sticky undertone. This beer goes down with a medium-light body, moderate carbonation level, and a perfectly low ABV – making Daddy an ideal drink for these coastal summer days. In the brewers’ opinion, this beer drinks like a sour sorbet in a glass.

LAGERS

Money Island Black Lager

5.1%

Schwarzbier

A century ago, this island was also known as the Atlantic City of the South. With the construction of casinos, bath houses, and other lavished features, some even began calling it Money Island due to all the extravagance and wealth being laid out. As the depression of 30’s began hitting the country, it too hit this region, and Money Island went as dark as this beer. Although black in color, this German-style Schwarzbier is an easy drinking lager with notes of mocha and bittersweet cocoa.

Haus Party Pils

5.2%

Keller Pils

Putting an American twist on one of our favorite German styles, we developed Haus Party Pils. Brewed with majority Pilsner, and a pinch of Vienna, the main focus of this lager is on the hops. Utilizing old school and new German varieties, we used Hallertau, Hersbrucker and Callista in the boil, then doubled down on the Callista, throwing in a healthy dry hop addition.

The final result is a hazy and straw colored Keller Pils that pours with a fluffy white head. Aromas of lemon-citrus and yellow flower are very present. These follow through onto the palate, with a malt backbone of crackers and hay. A crisp and clean finish keeps this light beer refreshing and easy to drink.

Eastern Bock Turtle

6.2%

Single Bock - Amber Lager

As an homage to our native dome-backed Terrapene, whom we’ll sometimes find wandering into the brewery, we created this Dunkles-style Bock. This beautiful amber lager is characterized by a toasty-rich malt character, with notes of creamy caramel accented with dark fruit. Brewed with locally grown Carolina Malt House Pilsner and Dark Munich malts.

Festbier

6.1%

Dating back two centuries, Oktoberfest has always been a time of great celebration for the residents of Bavaria. Each of the representing breweries attending proudly bring their rendition of the beloved Festbier, with the main differences between them being the use of their local maltster.

To follow this same suit, we decided to use ours - Carolina Malt House, based out of Cleveland, NC. 100% of the malt was sourced from CMH, all grown within 30 miles of their facility. As a result, we have this deep gold lager characterized by a toasted bread maltiness, with a subtle noble hop finish.

Mojito Cerveza

4.5%

Fruited Cerveza-style Lager

Brewed with Key Lime and Mint, in addition to the limey flavor of New Zealand’s Motueka hops, our Mojito Cerveza is the ultimate drink to bring in our favorite time of the year! Grab a taste of the season with a pint of this crusher.
