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.
IPAS & Ales
Macon Waves DIPA w/ Papaya and Coconut
Fruited Imperial IPA
We brewed this Double India Pale Ale with gallons and gallons of Papaya and an addition of Coconut. 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 grapefruit-like bitterness and medium-light body.
These notes come together from a coordinated dance between the fruit and our double dry hopping of Azacca and Citra Cryo pellets.
Kill Devil Belgian Golden Ale
Belgian Strong Golden Ale
Kill Devil pours with an elegant golden-orange hue in the glass and emits aromas of orchard fruits such as orange, apple, and pear. Those flavors follows suit, with an additional pithy note from our dry hopping of Mandarina Bavaria. This all then finishes gradually with a clean bitterness and medium-light body.
Arendell IPA
American IPA
In Morehead City, Arendell Street takes us from the historic downtown to our more modern districts. This beer follows the same suit - it carries the balancing bitterness and subtle floral and grapefruit notes we've come to expect within an American IPA, while also straddling the line of a more contemporary example with its juicier characteristic showcasing tropical fruits like papaya and mandarin orange. Whether you're a fan of the old school or new, this IPA will hit whatever you're looking for.
Sours / Fruit Beers
Salty Wind Gose w/ Mixed Berry
Fruited Gose
Sea birds fly the salty wind - east to south, north to west. Can we go as they go?
Using nearly a pound per gallon of Strawberry and Blackberry, this beer has a light and beautiful red hue with a delicious berry aroma. This then follows through onto the palate - allowing a careful balance of acidity and fruit.
Sunrise Fruited Lager w/ Blueberry and Pineapple
Fruited American Lager
This fruited American-style Lager was brewed with a blend of blueberry and pineapple. Easy drinking and clean, with a perfect balance of both fruits, this beer will most certainly bring sunshine to your day.
Sunset Screwdriver Imperial Berliner Weisse
Fruited Imperial Berliner Weisse
One of our new favorites, Sunset Screwdriver is an Imperial Berliner Weisse that was generously fruited with almost 2 pounds per gallon of strawberries, tangerines and key lime.
These additions are on full display from nose to palate – beginning with a stunning ballet between the berries and orange, then concluding with a citric acidity from the lime.
Salty Wind Gose w/ Passion Fruit, Mango, and Blood Orange
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 Passion Fruit, Mango, and Blood Orange, the aroma of this brackish sour wheat hits hard with a strong tropical bouquet on the nose. This then follows through onto the palate - allowing a careful balance of acidity and fruit.
Spy Daddy
Blackberry Berliner Weisse
Using a pound per gallon of Blackberries, Spy Daddy hits hard with a strong dark berry nose. This follows through onto the palate with the initial sip, then evolving into a clean acidity. Our use of white wheat and toasted oats leads to a medium body, lactobacillus provides a balanced tartness, and an effervescent carbonation allows for a refreshing finish.
LAGERS
Eastern Bock Turtle Amber Lager
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.
Dougalew Dunkel
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.
Amber Moon
American Amber Lager
Pouring a beautiful rufous in color, this amber lager is medium-light bodied with great balance between malt and hops. Vienna and honey malts lend a honey covered biscuit character, while centennial hops add notes of dark berries and peach.
STOUTS & PORTERS
Black Pelican Maple Porter
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.
Goat Rodeo Imperial Stout
Imperial Stout
Goat Rodeo pours a dark mocha in the glass with a brown head, emitting rich aromas of chocolate mousse, fresh poured coffee, and toffee. The bold flavor evolves beautifully in the glass sustained by a lush mouthfeel. Within, we taste fudgy chocolate, cocoa powder and dark roast coffee.
Collaborations
Great brews we've created with other North Carolina breweries
Eye Scream
Neapolitan Black Gose
This delicious gose was brewed with our friends at Bhramari Brewing Company!

Grateful Dawg
Double IPA
Brewed with our friends at Four Saints Brewing, Grateful Dawg pours a gorgeous golden-yellow color in the glass and emits aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, and an underlying resin. The flavor follows suit with a pulpy grapefruit note as the predominant characteristic. This finishes gently with a soft pine-like bitterness and medium-light body.
These notes all come together from our double dry hopping of Columbus, Centennial, and Simcoe Cryo pellets at a rate of four pounds per barrel
Accidental Decoction

A collaboration beer between Crystal Coast Brewing, Spaceway Brewing, and Rocky Mount Brewery, this Doppelbock pours a beautiful brown with ruby highlights, It has notes of dark fruits with sweet and malty characters. A smooth mouthfeel finishes with a slight warmth at 10.5%.
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.
Sploosh - Tart Farmhouse w/ Peaches
Fruited Sour (Farmhouse Ale)
Brewed with our good friends at Southern Pines Brewing, this recipe was borrowed from the one and only Kissin’ Kate Barlow. Looking like a straight peach in the glass, there’s no getting around what this beer is – pure peach juice. Brewed with a French farmhouse yeast, the orchard fruit esters from fermentation mingle wonderfully with the fruit and acidity. With a medium body, but bubbly carbonation, you’ll definitely feel the fuzz on this one. Brewed with a pound per gallon of peaches, and local grown Carolina Malt House malt.
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.
