About
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.

Draught @ Borefts 2019 Aroma has molasses, licorice and tobacco. Flavour has soy sauce, salty licorice and mild ashy notes. Odd raspberry notes in the middle of the glass. Too salty, not my thing.

From bottle @ volunteers meeting Borefts. Malty sweet flavor with soft roast, juniper. Gin barrel flavor. Nice beer, but thinnish and rather simple.
