“Cosmic Cradle” is our Fresh Hop American IPA conjured up as a tribute to the timely fresh-hop Centennial-focused American IPA made by a famous brewery out of Chico and Asheville that gets a lot of CELEBRATING. Okay, do you get the subtle reference?

Mashed with our typical base of Chesapeake Pilsner, Cumberland Pilsner, and Chit Malt, along with a smaller percentage of Double Roasted Crystal Malt to add some mid-palate Malt complexity and compliment the sticky-dankness we all know and love in American IPA. 

We figured the OG recipe was slathered in Centennial, so we hit it HARD on the hot side with Columbus in the boil and Centennial AND Centennial NUVO CGX Fresh Hop pellets in the Whirlpool, as well as a hefty Hot Dip of Centennial Dynaboost in the Fermenter. Fermented low and slow and spunded for dat natural carb. Dry hopped once, but rather aggressively with Cascade, Columbus, even more Centennial NUVO CGX Fresh Hop pellets, and a fat dab of Columbus Cryo. 

Similar to literally biting into a torpedo of Citrus, a sticky-icky amount of coniferous flora steeped in a pool of zest, fresh Clementine wedges dipped in a light Caramel, the dankness of a freshly-mown field, and that first righteous pint of Celebration you had from way back when. 

Damn. Seriously, this really fu**in rips. Toeing the line deftly between old-school and new-school American IPA, we honestly think we did the GOAT justice. We hope you can celebrate this one as much as we do!

This is clear, it is SLIGHTLY Malt-forward, it is very citrusy, it is a beautiful Orange hue, it is bitter, it is dry, and it is resinous Hell yeah. Shred that gnar gnar. Celebrate your friends and family in this new year. 

Available on draft and in cans on Friday 9/18 in AVL and DRM.

MANY MOONS AGO, WE TOOK YOU HIGHER! AND TODAY, WE GO EVEN HIGHER THAN HOW HIGH WE TOOK YOU THE LAST TIME! “Take Me Higher”, our Double Barrel Brown Sugar Barleyw**e, IS BACK WITH FERVOR! Honestly, this may be our best BA offering to date and I don’t say that lightly.

We went high at first with the BA “Buy High, Sell High”, then we went high again the the Double Barrel original batch of “Take Me Higher”, but now…hold on to your fedoras for a new age of Barleyw**e Bliss…ONCE AGAIN! We are reaching through the clouds with our most extensively barrel-aged b**r to date! The original batch of this b**r had a combined 40 months in wood, but THIS BATCH has surpassed that limit once more with a combined 58 months in wood! WOWIE ZOWIE!

Behold, “Take Me Higher” DOUBLE BARREL AGED BROWN SUGAR BARLEYWINE. A legendary journey with our comrades at Corporate Ladder Brewing has brought us here! Together, we birthed a masterpiece, just like Creed with the 1999 hit song of the same title.

We summoned a symphony of Riverbend malts, including the mystical Munich Oats, and let our House Pub yeast lead the way. Brown Sugar swirled in the boil, infusing every drop with its essence. Based on the last iteration, we decided to start in Apple Brandy and then finish in more mature Bourbon Barrels. So we began the journey wherein we entrusted our child to the housing of freshly-dumped Apple Brandy Barrels, where it matured for 34 months. Then BOOM, we took that bad lil’ ditty and doubled down in some 16yr Henry McKenna Bourbon Barrels for another 34 months. Yah, that’s 58 months! I checked the math myself!

Huge tidal waves of full and luscious Malt complexity, Oaky Vanilla tannins, mounds of fresh Apple C***r Donuts dusted with Brown Sugar and drizzled with Honey, and Apple Brandy soaked Plums. Hot damn. Now that’s a tasting note. Yep. Annnnnnd keep your eyes peeled for a special adjunct variant in the coming weeks. Did someone say “Apple C***r Donuts”?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a very loose reference to the most OG of Vampire Lords?

Our newest DDH IPA is here! And it’s a mouthful! And a tongue twister! “Mos-Tra-Nel-Sim” is an ode to the classic hops that kick-started our love for Hazy IPA: Mosaic, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Simcoe. This is actually a really amped up version of an IPA I’ve been making for over a decade (omg, I’m old), and I’m genuinely really excited to bring this BACK to life for y’all. Get the reference? Cuz like, these hops never die and just continue to haunt us for years? And cuz Nosferatu is cool? Right? Whatever…I made the b**r so I get to make the rules.

Mashed with Cumberland Pils and Czech Pils for an extra-pale base, then layered up with the fluffy combo of Appalachian Wheat, Chit Malt, and Flaked Oats. We even boiled it for extra time just to get some Kettle Caramelization and mimic the orange hue of Hazy IPAs from years past without the need for Crystal Malt. We hit it in the Whirlpool with Nelson Sauvin AND Simcoe Cryo, on top of a Hot Dip in the FV with Citra Incognito. Fermented with our House Hazy IPA yeast, dry-hopped first with a very large charge of even more Simcoe, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and then double-dry-hopped with a haunting amount of Nelson Sauvin Amplifire Pellets, more Nelson Sauvin, and a very heavy dose of Mosaic Liquid Lupulin.

Going back into my oldest brew logs from the beginning of my career and bringing out old hop bills was super nostalgic for me, and I really hope you enjoy this one as much as we do. Plus, it’s just fun to let yourself dive back in time and reminisce about just how far Hazy IPA has come.

A super fluffy body, an experience akin to opening a fresh jug of Sunny D, a glass of Sauv Blanc with some frozen Blueberry floaters, Orange and Pink Starburst at the same time, that first Peach of the season, a teensy kiss of resinous goodness, and just an overwhelming waft of that first wave of new school Hop “Citrus-meets-Stonefruit Hoppy character”. Damn. This is so good you’ll wanna suck IT’S blood versus the other way around!

After a 6-month hiatus…yes, a SIX MONTH HIATUS…PB&J Cheesecake is BACK, y’all! Yes, the Cheesecake one. We heard y’all loud and clear!

Our gluten-free sour collab with Xul B**r Company is what happens when peanuts, a mountain of Concord grape, and an absurdly creamy cheesecake swirl join forces. Picture an Uncrustable that ran off to Vegas with a cheesecake… it’s basically in a can.

Available now for presale on our webshop! Snag it on draft and in cans in AVL and DRM on Friday 9/11. Grab it while you can, or risk serious FOMOOPB&JB (Fear Of Missing Out On PB&J Bliss)!

And just in case the PB&J Bliss wasn’t enough… A few weeks back, we had PB&J day with some specialty flights, food specials, and two special PBJ Variants. Well, we heard the screams and we brought back PB&J: Banana Nut (½ dose of Grape, full dose of Banana, 2x dose of Peanuts…sh*t is wild) in cans and on draft! TAPROOM ONLY! GET IT BEFORE IT’S GONE!

OUR FESTBIER IS BACK IN THE SWAMP!!

“Hey Hey Yah Yah” Festbier, brewed just in time for SHREKTOBERFEST. Mashed with a 100% Riverbend Malt grist, composed of a blend of Chesapeake Pilsner, Light Munich, Vienna, and Chit Malt. Hopped aggressively with Hallertauer Mittelfruh, fermented low and slow with our House L***r yeast, spunded for natural carbonation, and laid down to L***r in our Horizontal Tanks for many-a-moon.

AND DON’T FORGET, THE SWAMP IS CALLING!! DANG RIGHT, DONKEY! SHREKTOBERFEST IS BACKKKKK!!!! Once again, it’s a tale of two swamps: ASHEVILLE & DURHAM!! Mark yer calendars for September 26th for BOTH AVL and DRM! SAME DATE, TWO DIFFERENT CITIES! Get yer ogre-sized self ready for a day of Shrek-filled fun!

PICK UP THE PHONE! “Call of the Rattlesnake” is…umm…calling? It’s also a new Gluten-Free Fruited Sour, crafted in collaboration with our fellow flavor-buds Corporate Ladder Brewing, as well as The Rattlesnake Conservancy. The Corporate Ladder crew is opening up a new taproom in Raleigh and got held up with some VERY unfortunate structural updates to the building after the first release, so we figured we’d get two birds stoned at once and brew this baby up again! 

This little bevvy was conditioned on a landslide of Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Lime, and of course…Sour Gummy Snakes. Sweet and sour at the same time, we wanted to make something that comes off aggressive, but in actuality is super approachable. Similar to snakes! But obviously not the venomous kind. Don’t try to make friends with those, please. 

Let the waves of sweet fruit wash over you, and then be cleansed by the tart bite of the Sour Gummy Snakes. Like a fruit salad and a bag of candy at the same time, more or less! Super refreshing, super well-rounded, and VERY bright. Candy, meet fruit!

Hark! A new TDH DIPA is here! “Cosmic Bouquet” is an exercise in highlighting a new-to-us Hop, Celeste, by pairing it with hops that would complement its oil composition as best we could. Very thankful to The HOPGUILD for the hop suggestion! We tried really hard to build a base foundation of hops that would really elevate Celeste as best we could!

This TDH Hazy DIPA is packed to the gills with more Hops than you can shake a cosmic bird’s feathers at. Mashed with Riverbend Malt House Cumberland Pils, then fluffed up to the heavens with Riverbend Oat Malt, Appalachian Wheat, and Flaked Oats. We hit it in the Whirlpool with Strata, and El Dorado Lupomax, then threw it on top of a Hot Dip in the FV with El Dorado Incognito. Fermented with our House Hazy IPA yeast, dry-hopped first with a very large charge of Celeste, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and then double-dry-hopped with an obnoxious volume of more Celeste and more El Dorado Lupomax, THEN triple-dry-hopped with a very heavy dose of Citra Liquid Lupulin in the Brite for good measure.

An exceedingly fluffy body, it’s giving White Gummy bears and Bosch Pears floating in a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, some nice wedges of Bittermelon, Passionfruit smoothies in a bed of Pine Needles, some uber-dank and resinous sticky-icky without that “DAMN THAT’S SOME GAS” stank to it, very specifically Watermelon Jolly Ranchers if they were also definitely edibles, and an exceedingly pleasant balance of bitterness and fruity-sweetness that we’ve truly been striving for with these Hoppy Ales lately. Celeste is a certified banger of a Hop, no doubt about it. BIG BIG UPS to The HOPGUILD for the hookup with Celeste hops!

Available on draft and in cans in AVL and DRM on Fri 8/28.
