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.

Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. The aroma has grainy malt, some dusty herbal notes and coconut and other bourbon notes. Sweet and cloying boozy flavour with lots of bourbon

Growler pour courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours clear deep gold with impressive tall firm head. The aroma is full and bold with drool inducing spicy hops, some white wine notes and firm hop earthiness. The taste is solid rich yummy IPA that I could drink all night. I get firm spicy hops, earthy hops and herbally hops as well as a sliver of malt sweetened citrus and followed up by near robust pine hoppy goodness into the finish. Wow! Well done.
