Our newest in our Batch series - Batch 371 American IPA at 6.2% ABV - is out now! This is our first beer utilizing (a ton of) Krush hops, a new hop variety that debuted in 2024, known for an intense, complex fruit-forward profile, featuring mango, guava, peach, and orange notes with a resinous undertone. While this has a moderate bitterness level, we ran a hopping regimen similar to our hazies, with a huge hop addition of Krush and Citra in the whirlpool at a reduced temperature to extract more flavor and aroma, along with two dry hopping charges of Krush and Amarillo hops. The result is a super light-bodied, straw-colored, moderately bitter IPA with just a boatload of tropical hop flavor - mango, guava, and orange all really pop.
Try one today!

Our summer Peach Ginger Beer is here! We brew our Original gluten-free Ginger Beer - with all real ingredients (no natural or artificial flavors added), then it undergoes a secondary fermentation on pureed peaches (and a little apricot). Harper’s Peach Ginger Beer finishes at the same level of measured sweetness as our Original ginger beer, but has a slightly higher sweetness due to the peaches, which play a perfect contrasting role with the ginger spice and lemon tartness, really tying it all together.

🌞🌛✨🍻Meet Celestial Kölsch - available now on tap only at both locations! This Kölsch-Style Ale hits at 5.2% ABV and is an ale/lager hybrid beer - light, crisp, and refreshing with a subtle hop presence and character from the German Hallertau Mittlefruh hops. It’s a light and easy-drinking beer that is slightly less crisp than a Pilsner, but with more hop character and less body than a Helles. The balance of the light esters from the German ale yeast with the fruitiness of the hops creates a very nice, nuanced complexity in an otherwise quite simple beer. Brewed with Pilsner Malt from Epiphany Craft Malt right here in Durham. Try one today!

Folks always seem impressed when they find out we run a business. But, the wild part is that running a business is not the most challenging thing we do. Raising kids is the most non-stop, high-stakes, and rewarding job we do.

So, today, we want to say thanks to all of the moms out there on Mother’s Day. Y’all are the real MVPs. We wouldn’t be where we are today without all the help from our moms, and I (Chris) am so thankful that our kids have as their mom. So, cheers today to all of the moms, grandmas, and mother figures!
