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.

Bottle 355ml (Beer Rep, bottled 02/2019)
Amber colour, small off-white head and lace. Rustic bready, resiny aroma. Medium-bodied. Pine, resin and caramalt in the flavour. Nice bitterness in the finish. Decent old school IPA. When you have 108 IBUs, the six months of age doesn't mean much.

Sampled from a bottle this beer poured a black color with a large fluffy brown head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was roasty and dry with malt, molasses, wood and burnt barley. The flavor was dry and roasty with wood, smoke and floral hops. Long finish with lingering smoke. Medium body.
