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.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Very resinous aroma with crystal malt, fruity notes, some orange, caramel, and big pine resin. Sweetish and firmly bitter flavour. Body is medium. Highly resinous in character, some more fruity tones would have carried this further.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is sweet barley malt with lots of bourbon, strong vanilla, sugary malts, cane sugar. Long overpowering sweetness. Body is medium. Eh, okay I guess, I hoped for more Brown aroma and less sweet barley and bourbon. Not my kind of beer.
