Description
Casita Brewing Company is owned and operated by Ryan and Mahalia Witter-Merithew. Ryan is a seasoned brewer, having worked as a professional brewer in Denmark, England, and of course, the United States over the last thirteen years. Mahalia is the heart of the business and the president of the company.

Casita started as a contract brewery at Hill Farmstead Brewery in Greensboro Vermont in 2015. In 2017, we moved this business to our home state of North Carolina, where we produced our beer at Duck-Rabbit Brewery in Farmville. In 2020, we are set to open our very own brewery and taproom in Mahalia's hometown of Wilson, NC. We will be open to the public by August 30th.

Over the years we have brewed over 50 different beers under the Casita name. Ryan is excited to bring this creativity to our new taproom, where we will be brewing some old favorites as well as some new beers we haven’t even dreamed of yet.

The logo for our brand is a letter 'C' in the shape of a little house. The 'C' of course stands for Casita, but it is our hope this 'C' will not only represent our brand, but a lot of our other favorite words that start with 'C', like craftsmanship, creativity, compassion, and community. These are the key principles of our business.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, no head. Aroma is banana, some chocolate, syrup, some cocoa, hazelnuts and mild toffeeish tones with some slight alcohol sweetness too. Flavour is alcohol, some toffee, hazelnuts, mild blood (iron/metallic) tones, with some coffee and strawberry marshmallows. In a way very nice, but the blood tones as well as partly the marshmallows ruin it for me. The blood (iron) just adds with warming up.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Viscous black, no head. Aroma of custard and cocos. Extremely sweet with full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. The custard covered hazelnut pie is completely drowning in extreme levels of chemical artificial sweetener. Alcohol and chemical sweetness dominate the finish. Simply bad and distasteful all the way.

Roast and cinnamon, medium chile. Chocolate and a little vanilla. Chile thins it out a bit, overwhelms some of the finer flavors. Comes off spicy and bitter. Black pour with mocha head and lacing. Cinnamon pretty potent too. Caramel as well in the finish, some tang from one of these spices probably. The tang throws me off more than anything. Can.

Moved this listing to Casita. Starred at it long enough, I might as well drink it. Single from Appalachian for $5.22, pre-hurricane. Clear Solo cup at home post storm. Filled 2-09-24 Clear, very dark brown with ruby highlights. Quick to fall beige head. Fruity, chocolate raisin, butterscotch nose with an obvious candied coconut back end, slight bourbon. Mounds, medium-dark milk chocolate & coconut, chocolate-covered raisins, vanilla infused booze. English malts peek through middle in. Very slight bitter bite on the tail, but probably not enough push back to keep it from being way too sweet; Lingering vanilla. Sort a cherry Coke feel as it progresses. Oily, just under crispy, middling smooth abv, some hidden acid near the finish. Tasty if kept cold. I wouldn't want to sip this warm.

Grapefruit and pineapple. Pretty good nelson. Golden pour with decent head. A little caramel. Bitter end. Reminds me of what IPAs used to taste like in Toronto like 10 years ago, randomly. Can.
