Flagships
Crystal Coast IPA
Modern American IPA
There’s that special feeling when you see the coast crest upon the horizon. We believe we've captured it in this IPA. Winner of a silver medal at the NC Brewers Cup, this beer is dry Hopped with Simcoe and Citra - giving tropical notes of apricot and mango, as well as citrus, lime zest and grapefruit.
Atlantic Beach Blonde
American Lager
This light Pilsner-style lager is the perfect easy-going beer anytime of the year. Our award winning AB Blonde is the perfect thirst quencher.
English Porter
Seen soaring around the Kitty Hawk Lifesaving Station, the Black Pelican was a beacon of hope to wary sailors. If a threatening storm ever arose, these men knew they could depend on this winged savior to guide them to safety, even in the most unbridled conditions.
In honor of the Black Pelican, we crafted this Maple Porter. Brewed with Pale Ale Malt, Flaked and Toasted Oats, Vanilla and Lactose – along with a hearty addition of 100% pure 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.

Wickie IPA
American IPA
Come all ye young fellas that follow the sea to me. Wey hey, blow the man down!
Our Wickie pours bright yellow, reminiscent of a lighthouse beacon on a starry night. In the glass, huge aromas of dank citrus fruit and resinous pine flow out, following through on to the palate with specific flavors of orange curacao and fir needles, provided by our use of Idaho 7, Columbus, and Citra hops. This concludes with a soft bitterness and medium-light body.
Fruited Sours
Fruited Gose
Sea birds fly the salty wind - east to south, north to west. Can we go as they go?
Using about a pound per gallon of Cherries and Lime, the aroma of this sour wheat hits hard with a big cherry pie nose. This then follows through onto the palate, concluding with a limey tartness - allowing a careful balance of acidity and fruit.
Fruited Gose
Sea birds fly the salty wind - east to south, north to west. Can we go as they go?
Using almost a pound per gallon of Raspberries, Lemonade, Lemon Zest, and Lemongrass, the aroma of this sour wheat hits hard with a great balance of raspberry and lemon. This follows through with a prominent raspberry profile and background note of lemon zest - all while being carefully tied together to create a balance of acidity and fruit.
Imperial Berliner Weisse
King Tide pours pale orange color in the glass and radiates a bouquet of Vitamin C rich fruits. The flavors follow through with a pineapple and orange juiciness upfront, finishing with a limey tartness and light, effervescent body.
These notes all come together from our use of over 300 pounds of pineapple, blood orange, and lime.
Fruited Gose
Sea birds fly the salty wind - east to south, north to west. Can we go as they go?

Collaborations
Great brews we've created with other North Carolina breweries
Graveyard Sister
Baltic Porter
Created in collaboration with Mill Whistle Brewing, this robust Baltic-style Porter balances a depth of fudgy chocolate malt character, while maintaining an easy drinkability despite its high alcohol content. With a smooth mouthfeel, medium body, and clean cocoa finish, this reverent dark lager wishes to be reposed once again.
Carolina Taffy
Imperial Strawberry Saltwater Taffy Gose
Brewed with our friends at Ass Clown Brewing, this gose is packed with really strawberry flavor from our use of Garner Farms strawberries.
We used all North Carolina sourced ingredients on this batch of liquid candy – strawberries from Garner Farms in Newport, malted barley and wheat from Carolina Malt House in Cleveland, and sea salt from Sea Loves Sea Salt Company in Wrightsville Beach.
Shepherd's Point
Imperial Chocolate Pomegranate Belgian Stout
Brewed with our friends at Four Saints Brewing, Shepherd’s Point references two points of relaxation in the state – Shephard's Point in Morehead City and Mount Shepherd in Asheboro.
This beer was 100% barrel fermented with additions of cacao and pomegranate, creating a deep cocoa flavor with notes of fruit. Enjoy the tart, chocolate, refreshing flavors.
