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.

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

on tap @Brewers Jam-pours a tan head and brownish red color. Aroma is tart fruit, oak/char, medium malt. Taste follows. Kinda weird, would have liked a bit more understanding to what was attempted vs what I drank.
