Taste of the coast
Our goal is to bring a taste of the Crystal Coast to all that try our beer.
Flagships
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.
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.
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
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.
Fruited Gose
Using nearly a pound per gallon of real cherries and limes, 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.
King Tide
Fruited Imperial Berliner Weisse
King Tide pours a 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 375 pounds of pineapple, blood orange, and lime.
IPAs
New England IPA
Boasting a pale yellow haze and cloudy soft mouthfeel, the second in our Tropospheric IPA series is oh so juicy. Within this batch, we wanted to blend a great set of hops into this hazy IPA, using Sitiva, Idaho 7, and Zamba.
Macon Waves DIPA w/ Papaya and Coconut
Fruited Double IPA
Pouring straw yellow in color, a mélange of tropical fruit burst from the glass. The flavor follows suit with citrusy piña colada as the predominant characteristic. This finishes gently with a slight, grapefruit-like bitterness and medium-light body.
These notes come together from a coordinated dance between the fruit and our dry hopping of Sabro hops.
New England IPA
To commemorate our 4th Anniversary, we brewed this hazy IPA that pours bright and golden in the glass, with delicate citrus and stonefruit aromas. This follows through onto the palate with a smooth and flavor-packed taste profile from our use of 4 New Zealand hops: Kohatu, Wai-iti, NZH-107, and Rakau.
Concluding with a very subtle bitterness and medium body, this beer is our way of thanking you for 4 awesome years!
Porters and Stouts
Peanut Butter Cup Imperial Porter
Imperial American Porter
This 8.5% imperial American Porter is packed with tons of real peanut butter. The aroma of decadent peanut butter hits first, and follows through on first sip. This follow with sweet, milky undertones and a lighter body.
Imperial Stout
Brewed with nearly 300 pounds of real cherries, this imperial stout boasts true chocolate flavor balanced with a mild cherry finish.

Diamond Shoals
Dry Hopped Pilsner

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.
Ales
