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.

Very mild, unassertive pils, more focused on grainy sweetness than Noble floral notes. A touch of Saaz spiciness on the finish, but this is mostly a middle-of-the-road pils, easy drinking but kinda one-note.

Keg at the brewery, 4/26/23. Murky dark amber, thin white head, average retention. Aroma of toffee, wheat, raisin, strong brandy. Taste is toffee, vanilla, wheat, cherry, brandy, citrus. Full bodied, low booze. Nice. And we Wisconsinites love our brandy.

Keg at the brewery, 4/26/23. An April Fool's joke that became real. No actual crustaceans here. Very hazy orange, large white head, pour retention. Aroma of peach, pineapple, citrus, strong cheesecake. Taste is pineapple, lemon, citrus, cheesecake. Moderate tartness. Interesting that the cheesecake actually came through smelling and tasting like cheesecake. It's a gimmick but I like it.

Can to pint pour @Dssolver. Not quite hazy, pale gold. Twangy, extra fruity, herby, bittersweet nose. Sweet onion, dessert apple sweetness, watery pineapple, lingering green onion (not complaining). Medium weight, frothy, quenching, pretty soft for 8%. Bonus point for not being $17/4 pack.

Stemless @Dssolver. Clear, gold, active. Vanilla yogurt, herbally, apple mush, foeder oxidation. Wincing sour, peachy reminiscent of the last foeder they served me. A touch less acidic, more yeasty, somewhat twangy, lightly floral & less oxidized. Not big on vanilla(probably a good thing). Okay.
