Description
Independently-owned craft brewery providing North Carolina with quality beers since 1994.

Beginning in 1994 with a 7 barrel converted dairy system, we set and accomplished the goal of providing unique traditional ales & lagers available through OHB. Quickly we outgrew that system.

In 1997, we began the renovation of an 1880 Historic Landmark building, which now houses our brewing facilities, a 25-barrel Price Schonstrom brew house.

Had this on draft at borefts, now bottle at home (keg was definitely fresher!). Pours a lovely amber colour with a sizeable head. Aroma is grassy, hoppy with lots of pine. Quite soft aroma. Medium body. Flavour is malty, with quite a bit of caramel, not sweet though. High bitterness, very much in style in that regard. Smooth and soft, with grassy and bitter pine flavours from the hops, also lots of herbal notes. Nice! Finishes bittersweet and dry, mostly bitter. I really like the flavour, but the aroma was much better fresh.
