Water. Yeast. Grains. Hops. That’s all it takes to make beer. But what we do with those simple ingredients within these walls is what makes us special.
Foothills began brewing beer at our West 4th Street location in March 2005, with three 15-barrel fermenters. Jamie and his brewers managed to crank out 800 barrels of beer that year, and doubled that output the following year.
As demand and production continued to increase, the need became obvious for more space. The solution came in the form of a 48,000 square foot warehouse a few miles away, an old manila envelope factory that was retro-fitted with brewing equipment and became Foothills’ main production facility, located at 3800 Kimwell Drive.
Today both brewery locations continue to produce our top-quality beers. We offer weekend tours from our tasting room at our main brewing facility. Conversely, if you ask nicely at the downtown brewpub, you can probably get a peek at the operation.

Refrigerated September 2017 brown bomber poured into a glass. Black with medium light brown head. Aroma is bourbon, medium/thick body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is bourbon, dark chocolate, and booze. I prefer this to the regular Sexual Chocolate.

Kicked the keg with this one at Salud. Saddened and disappointed that I had to enter this onto Ratebeer. Black color brown head. Fruity coffee aroma. Taste is smooth rich earthy coffee cocoa dark fruit. Tasty

Bottle thanks to Jeff. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a strong combination of grass and straw with a hint of sweetness underlying. Flavor has lots of grass that is supported by straw and a hint of sweet grains underling.

Pour is a deep dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is toasted bread crust with various other grains. Flavor is more bready malts but this version of a marzen has more of a sweeter toffee and caramel to it. The sweetness does not make this as chuggable as most marzens but did give it a more richer body. Flavorful but a little bit sweeter than the mainstays of the style.

On tap at Flying Saucer - Raleigh, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a pungent and rather bitter piney hop character upfront, with a crisp toasted biscuity malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, bringing out bold piney hops, light dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Piney and punchy. Very good.

On tap at Flying Saucer - Raleigh, pours a clear clear with a small white head. Aroma brings out light, tart cranberries, with a touch of lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with subtle tart cranberries and a bit of lacto. Easy and gentle. Not bad.
