Description
The brewery (location) is closed, beer is being brewed in Alabama @ Oyster City Brewing.

It all began with a Christmas gift in 1994. Billy Pyatt, a notoriously hard guy to buy presents for, fell in love with the carboys, pots, hydrometers, grains, hops, chemistry, and physics involved in brewing. His brother, Scott, fell right in with him. Their love became an obsession that could only be resolved by going pro – not an easy thing to do in 1999!

We have tasting Rooms in Asheville, Morganton and Charlotte NC. Our kegs & cans are distributed in TN, NC, SC, GA and AL.

Draft at the source in Charlotte. Cloudy golden color. Light plum aroma. Taste has more fruit but almost no sourness. Too politically correct

Draft at the source in Charlotte. Hazy light red color off white head. Subtle berry aroma. Taste has as much sweetness as tartness. A Berliner for cowards

On tap at Catawba, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Nose is fairly subtle, with tart plum and a touch of lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with simple tart plum and a hint of lacto. Not a lot of depth, but reasonably tasty and clean.
