Description
Gizmo Brew Works launched into the public sphere in April of 2013. Gizmo represents the thinkers, tinkerers, and inventors who make up RTP and the Umstead Industrial Park which we call home.
At its inception, Gizmo Brew Works inherited a 2 barrel brewhouse, making it one of the smallest production breweries in North Carolina. Strong and feisty for its size, Gizmo surged forth into the competitive beer market. As Gizmo’s reputation grows, so does its size. In 2015 new infrastructure boosted its growth with larger tanks and a new 7 bbl brewhouse. Now in 2019 we set forth on an expansion to quadruple our brewing capacity as well as opening our first satellite taproom in Chapel Hill. In addition to small-batch taproom only releases, thirsty souls can find our beer in some of the finest retail shops and restaurants/bars throughout North Carolina. We of Gizmo Brew Works hold ourselves to high standards. We self-distribute our craft, straight from our brewery to our customers, ensuring the absolute freshest beer possible.
Inquisitive drinkers can drop by the taproom to sample our wares. We offer tours every Saturday at 4pm and most weekends feature food trucks and live music.

Alisa brought this one back from a trip. ++ Sampled from a can this beer poured a very dark brown color with orange highlights and a medium sized foamy head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet cinnamon sugar and maple syrup. The flavor was bitter and roasty with maple syrup, french toast and a bit of astringency. Long finish. Medium body.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a cloudy amber tan color with a medium sized foamy white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was phenolic and yeasty with a bit of honey. The flavor was sweet with tart orange, bread, sugar and apricot. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Not bad. Lots of citrus me and Lee grapefruit balanced with a significant amount of caramel malt. Not exactly balanced but pretty drinkable.

On tap at Gizmo, pours a cloudy orange with a monstrous white head. Aroma brings out fresh mangos upfront, with light lactose and citrus hops. Flavour is loaded with mango juice upfront, with drowns out the lactose and hops. Fun mango beer that is monolithic on the mango.

On tap at Gizmo, pours a cloudy peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lactose, citrus hops, and a touch of pineapple. Flavour melds the pineapple and lactose well with the citrus hops. The hops maintain force and the beer doesn't become cloying or yeasty. Very good.

On tap at Gizmo, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh chili peppers without much actual spiciness. Flavour is along the same lines, with a nice pepper character, and just enough sweetness. Not much spiciness, just a nice pepper character. beastiefan2k would love this. I'm a fan too.

On tap at Gizmo, pours black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out earthy cocoa and some dirt. Flavour is along the same lines, with a chalky dirty cocoa character. This isn't well crafted at all.

On tap at Gizmo, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and some light earthy undertones. Flavour is rather earthy and muddy, with toasted malt and light earthiness. Dirty and lacking character. Not too well-dialed in.

On tap at Gizmo, pours a deep dark brown with a small white head. Aroma brings out light salt and lacto - wouldn't know this is a black gose. Flavour is on the toastier side, with lacto, light salt and toasted malt. Toasty and lacto-y. Interesting take on the style.
