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.

12% draught, 7/3/23. Moderately hazy bronze-apricot. Small, white head to ring. Nose is sugary, gross lactose and sugary, gross marshmallow. Some nutty, dry pistachio is appreciated and the apricot is done well. Imagine if they didn't ruin this w lactose and mallow.... Smartys/spree candy is disgusting with lots of sweetness and none of the pistachio. Apricot the only redeeming quality here. Slick texture. Lingering apricot and artificial sweetener.

Can (4/10/23) pour from Total Wine & More, Brentwood. It's a cloudy light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle, a bunch of large white floaties, 3-finger off-white head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, stone and tropical fruit, sweet/tart pineapple. Taste is mango, citrus, mild tropical fruit, astringent alcohol background. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, more general fruit (likely from Simcoe) than identifiable aromas/flavors but the biggest drawback is the noticeable alcohol.

Bottle shared with Caesar. Opaque black color, small light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, sweetness, vanilla, hazelnut. Flavor is malts, sweetish a bit, vanilla, hazelnut, light liquor, but something in there that annoys me. Can't put my finger on it really but it reminds me of artificial hazelnut-hopjesvla. Don't know. Okay but had higher hopes.

Draught @ Dive 96 Bar, Manhattan. (5/22/23) Extremely hazy bright yellow with a small foamy off-white head, citrus-mango aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter mango-citrus taste, faint tropical fruit and alcohol undertones, thin body, long juicy finish with bitter aftertaste. Positively juicy and deceptively easy to drink.

Can from Harvest. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Coffee, dark chocolate and lactose on the nose. Creamy oat texture on the palate with lactose, coffee and dark chocolate abound. Drying finish with warming alcohol and slight coffee and green hop notes. Not bad though overall.
