Description
DID WE MENTION WE’RE NOT A BREWERY, BUT A BEVERAGE COMPANY?
While we’re the most passionate about beer, the root of our curiosity lies in fermentation itself. To feed that thirst, we’ve been working with local and regional artisans of the non-beer kind, and are very excited about this side-venture we’ll be taking to Downtown Asheville. While our main focus is definitely beer, we’ll also be trying our hands at a whole smattering of Wine, Cider, and Mead, as well as non-alcoholic beverages.
We’ve got a 15bbl Brewhouse and a 3bbl Pilot Brewhouse, a dedicated Wild/Funky Barrel Cellar, and fermenters ranging from wine barrels up to 30bbl stainless tanks.
WE’RE DEAD-FOCUSED ON BRINGING YOU EQUAL AMOUNTS OF OLD SCHOOL AND NEW SCHOOL.
That means Lagers, IPAs (clear AND hazy), Wild Ales, Big Ol’ Stouty Stouts, Super Sessions, Chippy Boiz, and everything in between. With that said, we can’t wait to work with local farmers, artisans, and makers in an effort to expand our non-beer side of things. Come explore the other side of fermentation with us!
Expect the unexpected…and…well, I guess now it’s actually expected? Definitely don’t expect any more vowels, though. Did that joke land? Dammit.

7 week old pint can A: Slightly cloudy pale gold with a short but steady white head. S: Dry, bready and herbal scent with a hint of honey. T: A bit brash with sharp herbal hop bitterness, grassy and woody undertones. A faint tart fruity note ends the sip and lingers. M: Somewhat stiff carbonation, light body and lightly oily texture. O: Interesting flavors and a nice mouthfeel make it a good refreshing pils.

Can, undated, from DrFabulous, thanks! Drink 12/18/23. Heavily hazy, muted bronze with a rapidly fizzling ring of bubbles. Floral, citrusy, some melon, peach and pineapple alongside cracker malt and surprisingly lower yeast character. Bit of phenol is the extent of it. Coconut, heavy tangerine pulp and rind with less I7 character. Maybe just an afterthought of tea and spice. This thing is all Sabro and ekuanot. Crackery malts, lots of estery yeast, somewhat fizzy carbonation. Moderate maltiness for its size with good attenuation. Lots of intense, well developed hop flavors including the standout fresh squeezed tangerine. Some chalky dry hop on the finish. Just fix the weird carbonation and I'd be really interested in trying a lot more from them.

I need to do more homework on this one. Hazy, pale gold, dull pour. Aromatic, sorta floral, saline. Deep saline, lemon, slighty savory, plastic, indifferent barrel. Low forced carb, thin. Could be good with a bigger ending note.

Not bad, with a nice crisp pils front with notes of white bread, honey, lemon, and wildflowers, followed by a mild floral bitterness and some baked grain in the finish. Won’t wean me off of Bibo, but nice.
