Description
Combining their love of beer and experience in manufacturing, Matt and John set their sights on some day opening a brewery.

Matt started the company in August of 2014 with our downtown Raleigh restaurant, which features a German inspired menu and 40 guest taps, including a 10 tap self-pour beer wall — The first of it’s kind in the triangle.

After decades of home brewing and completion of the Master Brewer Program at the prestigious Siebel Institute, which included a month at Doemens Academy outside of Munich, John was ready to convert from manufacturing nuclear missile guidance electronics to manufacturing a lineup of award-winning lagers and ales. We built our production brewery and taproom in midtown Raleigh and released our first Clouds beers in March of 2016.

A couple months later, in October 2016, we opened our third location (in a city that knows food and drink well) in Durham’s Brightleaf Square. This location features a full restaurant and 50 taps, including another 10 tap self-pour beer wall.

On tap at Clouds, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light earthy coffee and a touch of caramel bready malt. Flavour reveals a nice coffee character upfront, with a touch of toasted caramel and bready malt. Nice expression of the coffee here. Simple but works pretty well.

On tap at Clouds, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh, lightly tart green apples, and light lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart apple, light citrus and a touch of lacto. Spritzy and crisp, with a bone dry, tart apple finish. Very good.

On tap at Clouds, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of candied sugars, fruity esters and alcohol. Flavour is along the same lines, with candied sugar, alcohol and fruity esters. Inauthentic, as it's very sweet and estery, but it's okay.
