Established in 1999
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 brewery during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clearish yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose is all wheat, simple yeast and cardamon. Light sweet flavor with straight-ahead wheat bread, a bit of wort. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet to finish with light bitter hay, some doughy wheat bread. OK stuff.

Draft at Carolina Beer Company in CLT. Poured a clear, bronze-orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was some nice toasted malts, sweet residual notes, with grapefruit hops. Flavor was clean, easy to drink creating a nice balance between the malts and pine-like hops. Very easy to drink, quite an enjoyable brew.

On tap at RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours a hazy light amber with a light brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice peanut note with a light fruit and grain backing. Flavor hits the PB&J right on with rich peanut butter up front with a jam fruit finish.
