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.

Bottle at the Fearrington Inn - The Goat bistro. Poured a dark amber color, a little muddy with a medium sized slightly off-white head. Aroma was light spices, brown sugar, sweet dark fruits. Reminds me a bit of the spices used often in the Anchor Christmas beer. This was pretty tasty.

A clear-looking dark brown beer with a dense, finger-thick dark beige head leaving curtains. It’s very coffee-ish on the nose, with some notes of sourness and spices. Nutty, roasted flavor with caramel and a nice bitterness and some orange zest, as well as lots of coffee. Pleasant carbonation, full body and quite dry on the palate. It feels almost sourish in the finish. It’s an interesting one, I like the coffee impact, and it’s sure a beer I could have a few of. 140829
