B**R RELEASE FRIDAY: Sterling.... The newest iteration of our American Pilsner line. The style was commandeered with the rise of big, mass-produced brands, and washed out. We’re taking it back. This American Pilsner starts with 100% NC grown grain from Carolina Malt House. We paired this beautiful local barley with American grown Sterling hops from Indie Farms, an independent farm producing some stellar, traditional, American hop varieties. Lucky for us, they haven't forgotten about some of the old guards of American hops. Super bright snappy lemon candy notes.

This is Sterling. This is Our American Pilsner.

Happy Friday, friends. We’re happy to ring in the weekend with a double b**r release!

Helles (4.7% ABV) - Open fermented for fully dialed-in yeast expression, and l***red extensively.

Next, Dunkel (5% ABV) is back in its new cans. Our Munich style dark l***r is a beautifully balanced expose of “light and sessionable” meets “bold and flavorful.” Toasty roast and cocoa dusted, yet lively and quenching. Lagered extensively and built to please.

In addition to the always fantastic Master BBQ AVL our food guests are as follows:
Friday: El Bodegon
Saturday: Smokee’s Asheville
Sunday: North Meats South

We’ll see you soon.

Come celebrate our 9th birthday with us today! The heater is kicking, we’ve got a little art market kicking off at 3, and music starts at 4:30! Delish Venezuelan and MasterBBQ are serving up hot meals, and we’ve got cold b**rs for you. Through the many ups and downs, we are truly ecstatic to still be here with and for you all. We love you, and thank you for your continued patronage, friendship, and support.

We’re back from Schilling’s Oktoberfest, a weekend that has come to serve as an annual gathering of some of the most talented b**r makers we know, and a reminder of what we endured 2 years ago.

First, the good… Schilling has created an event that, as the years roll on, is taking on the fit and feel of a big old family reunion. From the welcome party on Friday at the pub straight through the Sunday hangover brunch at Crumb Bum, the love that is present, for both b**r and for each other, is palpable. Masters in b**r and in hospitality, Schilling continues to be one of our most constant inspirations in this industry. The bar is that much higher because of them.

Thank you Schilling B**r Co.

We also had the opportunity to visit Foam Brewers, von Trapp Brewing, Hill Farmstead Brewery, and Howl Bier. To say we were smitten with each of these would be an understatement. Thanks to each of you for the hospitality and for doing the beautiful and fascinating things you’re doing. We can’t wait to visit each of you again.

Next, on to a less glamorous, but most important topic. In September of 2024, our flights to this highly anticipated event were canceled as the floodwaters from Helene were rising. Life changed that day, and this particular weekend brings up a wealth of feelings in each of us... Nearly exactly 2 years later, our dear friends at The Seed: A Living B**r Project find themselves in an eerily similar situation at their brewery in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Several feet of saltwater made its way into their facility during this weekend’s Nor’easter, and the emotions we saw on their faces felt all too familiar. Please go follow them on social media, and when they have a better idea of what kind of help they need, please do whatever you can. Speaking from experience, if a message of support and encouragement is what you have to offer, that is really worth its weight in gold. Don’t underestimate the power of positivity, so please send them some love.

To wrap it up, we just want to say thank you one more time to Schilling. To be your friends is one of the greatest honors that we carry.

Til next time.

We had a great time showing Rebecca and Ben from NC B**r Explorer around a few weeks back (thank you both for coming to hang out).

Check out their write up if you have a few minutes.

It's Friday. Fall is in the air and we're feeling a bit frisky. So, here's something you can add to your list of "well, there's something you don't see everyday..."

A Zillicoah IPA can release.

We love this one so much, it just made sense. A generous portion of Centennial and Cascade hops transport our minds back to the clear, beautiful, piney, floral west coast IPAs of yesteryear. This one is cold. It is wet. It is hoppy. And we are very proud to share it with you. Available on draft and in 16oz 4-packs. 5.6 % ABV

We're also all restocked on cans of fresh Kellerpils (4.9% ABV) for some weekend crushing.

Although we're heading up to see the Wizards of the Northeast at Schilling B**r Co. this weekend for their glorious Oktoberfest, we'd love for you all to come hang and enjoy.
