Our Beer

Hazy Imperial IPA

We all have those moments where we feel immovable. Tread careful as we will, an unexpected current can still force us upon life’s hidden embankments. Take this moment, and realize it’s not a permanency – we may be run aground in moment, but there’s always the opportunity to break free and find the open sea once again.

Pouring a hazy orange reminiscent of mango juice, Run Ashore emanates a dank and pithy nose, yet still reminiscent of fresh squeezed tangerine juice. Triple dry hopped with Mosaic and Amarillo which provide this intense flavor, the tangerine follows through on the palate with saturated characteristics of fresh pine needles and juicy fruit. This is then concluded with a pleasant, yet mouth coating, resiny bitterness.

Fruited American IPA

Our Sangria IPA was brewed with a blend of red wine grape juice, strawberries, blueberries, blood oranges, giving this beer a deep and hazy purple appearance. Aromas of fresh pressed berries and grapes fill the glass, which follow through onto the palate - accompanied with a gooseberry note from our use of Nelson Sauvin hops. Drinking with a medium-light, yet creamy body, this beer is balanced by a classic IPA bitterness.

Coffee Blonde Ale

Pouring a beautiful gold, our Cinnablonde truly is a cafe in a glass. From the first pour, aromas of coffee, cinnamon, and vanilla emanate from the glass. This follows through onto the palate, along with additional pastry notes coming from our use of toasted oats. Medium bodied with a silky finish, this blonde ale carries a great balance of the aforementioned flavors, in large part because of the wonderful characteristics produced from the Papua New Guinea cold press crafted by our friends at Crystal Coast Roasters in Morehead City. 

American Pale Ale

Pouring a deep gold, this pale ale is full of aromatics and flavor delivered by our double dry hopping of Amarillo and Summit, along with kettle additions of Columbus. With notes of mandarin oranges and Meyer lemons, in addition to an evergreen background, the nose on this beer is bright and lively. As you drink though, these profiles switch roles and you’re enjoying a wonderfully sappy and bold citrus flavor. Medium-light bodied, with balanced carbonation level, this is the perfect hoppy beer for the transition of seasons.

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.

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.

Dunkel

Pouring deep brown with a beautiful garnet tint, this beer is a classic interpretation of the Munich-style Dunkel. Within the glass, wonderful characteristics of cocoa powder and toasted bread envelop the nose and palate. Medium bodied with a balanced and creamy carbonation, Dougalew is the beer that perfectly accompanies our transition into the cooler weather of autumn and winter. Original recipe is credited to our good buddy Doug, with malts provided by the folks at Carolina Malt House.
