Description
Belgian and Hop forward inspired Brewpub located in Historic Uptown Shelby, North Carolina. Enjoy up to 16 hand-crafted brews, cuisine and live music.

Newgrass Brewing Company resides in heart of what many people know as the “City of Pleasant Living,” otherwise known as Shelby, North Carolina. We draw on our farmland surroundings, traditions and local heroes for inspiration while striving to maintain our own unique and progressive brewing concepts.

Just as the “newgrass” music genre was a progressive take on a very traditional style of music in bluegrass, Newgrass Brewing Company strives to do the exact same by blending renditions of traditional styles with deconstructed and reinterpreted progressive brews that have no borders.

0.473l can. Aroma of caramel, bread and dried fruit. Pours cloudy amber brown color with large soapy tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet toasted malty and caramelly, following is grassy with decent fruity acidity and some earthy notes, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is mild bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Could be better…

Ein Glas Bananen-Muß, so schaut das aus. Und ordentlich Schaum. Wow. In der Nase Banane, leichte Säure. Im Trunk mächtig, Banane, dezent sauer, saftig. Außergewöhnlich, aber sicher nicht jedermanns Geschmack.

Optisch Blutbeutel, dickflüssig, kein Schaum. In der Nase Sahnetorte. Im Trunk mächtig, fruchtig, zum drauf herumkauen, nur leicht bitter. Keine Spur alkoholisch. Interessant.
