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.

Chocolate-heavy brown, English and semisweet, but also light and watery, without much of a finish. Yeasty fade with the slightest of hoppy bitterness. Skippable.

Draft in Charlotte as Small Batch ESB, also 5.2% and 40 IBU, so it’s likely the same beer. Clear deep amber color, light tan head. Aroma of black pepper and baking biscuit. Taste is lightly bready and peppery, crisp finish. Tasty.
