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.

The Aromas are dark malt, a little roast and a lot of black patent and molasses. Flavors are very similar to nose, at first it's roast dark malt and cocoa then molasses come through and slowly fade. More roast and some coffee come back into it. The flavor is overall a little more sweet than bitter with good carbonation and body. I'm not a molasses in beer fan but this works pretty good, although I don't pick up any tequila at all.
