Description
We launched Fullsteam in 2010 with a single mission: to explore what it means to be a Southern brewery. Sometimes that definition means brewing with foraged and farmed adjuncts. Other times it means making innovative beers with local grain. And sometimes it means just making true-to-style beers more Southern in temperament.

In our nearly ten years focused on this mission, Fullsteam has purchased more than $500,000 in Southern-farmed ingredients. We track our commitment to the Southern Beer Economy in our monthly farm reports.

Whether it’s the beer we brew, the food we cook, or the events we host, we believe in connecting people to the land and to one another. And through it all, we aim to keep it fun. Beer should be fun.

Tallboy can from Beer Run, 6/4/16. Yeah, I was chugging coffee last time I closed at work. Dark brown, medium foamy brown head, average retention. Aroma of strong, intense coffee, roasted malts, mild tobacco. The taste is leather, coffee, roast, cherries, mild tobacco and vanilla. Medium bodied, chewy, low carbonation, mild lingering bitterness. Nice beer.

Pounder: Pecan, hay, and earth nose. Hazy copper, medium yellow head. Pecan, brief sweet malt at midpalate, Light body, easy carbonation. The sweet potato comes across more as a earthy nuttiness which is not unfamiliar for the style. Great job.

Pour is a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is a kind of bready malt with a minimal spicy hop in the background. Flavor is a big dose of sweet caramel malt that I was not expecting. The hops are scarce which leaves this beer tasting more like British pale ale. If you are going to make an American IPA you better use more hops than they used in this.

Nice looking IPA but has a sourish overripe fruit ressembling pineapple. Bit of cat pee which isn't my thing for the style

Alisa brought this one back for me from a trip to N.C. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a bright golden color with a large foamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish, yeasty and a touch sour with egg white and noble hops. The flavor was tangy, sweet and grassy with a bit of egg white and noble hops. Medium length grassy finish. Medium body.
