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.

Poured into a tall tulip, the appearance was a burnt hazy orange color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy to bubbly/fizzy head.
The aroma starts with a harsh sour citrus rind and then subtle sour to sweet to light spicy pumpkin flesh. Sour green apple insists as it warms.
The flavor leans sour first but opens up into a sly sweet pumpkin. Green apple and citrus come in for a lot of sour. Sour green apple rubbing my tastebuds harshly but a crisp quick aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems alright for what it is.
Overall, sour pumpkin ale, that’s how I see it with some non-pumpkin spice and extra citrus flavors.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with no head or lace.
The aroma starts with a nice blend of sour lime to ginger. Lemon juice notes slide in after a little bit of warming.
The flavor takes the ginger spice to blend nicely with the tart yet sweet lime and lemon. Sly tart and sweet aftertaste with the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionabile to sipping feel about it. Low carbonation. Slight stickiness.
Overall, nice creative regular sour ale. I’d have again.
