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.

On tap downstairs at Thirsty Monk the night before Brewgrass. Pours yellow orange with plenty of funk on the nose. Taste is far more mellow but you get some yeast, and peaches, and bubblegum. fairly light and easy drinking
