German ale, with similar characteristics to a lager Clean, crisp, delicately balanced beer Subtle fruit and malt flavor

The mostly-extinct farmhouse breweries of Belgium were notorious for using whatever ingredients were available to them. One of the treasures made by these breweries and nearly lost to history was spiced witbier (white beer). Witbier defied an untimely fate, being revived by a man named Pierre Celis who worked in one of the last breweries in Belgium to commercially produce a version of this unique, spiced beer. Celis eventually sold his own witbier brewery and moved to Austin, Texas to open another white beer brewery (Celis White) and the rest is history. ​ In honor of the late and great Pierre Celis, we are proud to offer Community Wit as a warm weather libation, produced locally for our fellow Texans once again. We brew it traditionally using unmalted wheat as our base and lightly spice the kettle with freshly ground sweet and bitter orange peel and coriander seed. The hops are minimal, keeping the focus on the wheat, spices and the unique character contributed by authentic Belgian yeast strains, one of which originated from the same strain that Pierre brought across the Atlantic to America.

This is an ale with zip. Our india pale ale brings together copious amounts of Columbus, Chinook and Cascade hops in a tasty combination that lingers through the finish and beyond. Compass delivers big hop flavor with malt in a nice supporting role. A hands-down favorite with the regulars in our Tasting Room.

A clean, crisp well hopped ale with a pale orange color. It's brewed with Ahtanum hops that have a mild aroma and flavor.

American-style IPA that showcases Summit, Cascade, and Amarillo hops; a hop lovers dream. The use of these types of hops lends our IPA well balanced citrus, piney, floral, and somewhat spicy flavor and aroma. We only use the best pale and caramel malts to give this beer a smooth mellow mouth feel and a slightly sweet malt finish.

Consilium-a Latin word meaning advice or counsel-is a wise choice for any occasion. Lightly hopped with an orange-peel finish, this Pale Ale satisfies the need for an easy-drinking beer full of flavor and character.

Smooth and drinkable, yet malty and complex with a noble hop kick. Church Street's Continental Lager marries four German malts with three German hop varieties to create our quintessential pilsner. Notes of biscuit and grassy/floral hops make this a great beer to kick back with anytime. Enjoy!

Have you ever heard of an ESB? In most cases, it stands for Extra Special Bitter, and man is this red extra special. Conundrum walks the line between a malt-centric sweet ale and a hop-centric bitter ale so well, it’s tough to describe. Quite the conundrum indeed! Think if it in simplest terms: it has a sweet malty profile like the Brown Bear Ale at first, though mostly caramelly instead of chocolaty, but then the taste sensation in your mouth changes to the floral bitterness of our secret hop recipe. If you love the Independence Pass Ale, but sometimes just want something a little ‘mellower’, something with a little more malt profile, this beer may be what you’re looking for. If you like our Brown Bear but are thirsty for something with a bit more snap, give it a try! So far, everyone’s loving the stuff!

A hybrid style between an ale and a lager, this bronze-hued brew goes down easy with subtle nuances of chocolate and hazelnut.

Malt, malt, malt and lots of hops. Maris Otter can be something special and that is what this nice copper colored, over the top America Pale Ale is. English malt but American hops and the hops do the work while the English Malt is firm and steady in the background, like a true English gent.

The Copperhead Amber Ale is a crisp, medium bodied ale witha deep copper color and a rich, caramel, malty sweetness, balanced with a light floral hops flavor.

The Pale Ale with bite. While walking through a field and enjoying a lazy summer evening, our head brewer Steve stepped on a stick that popped up and nicked his leg. Or so he thought, until he found two puncture marks on his ankle. The copperhead bite may have caused a trip to the hospital for Steve, but it also provided just the inspiration he and Chuck needed to name their new beer – yep, one lowly snake in the grass is the namesake of one of our most popular beers.

A mild yet flavorful copper hued ale with toasty malt and subtle citrus hop flavor and aroma. Our American Red Ale is made with American 2 Row malt and U.S. hops.

This brilliant red ale, brewed with caramel and pale malts is a best seller at the Carolina Brewery. Using traditional brewing methods, the ale yeast provides a touch of fruit and works in tandem with the malt to make for a very drinkable ale. Kent Golding hops lend just enough bitterness and aroma to round out the flavor.

A bright hoppy American India Pale Ale (IPA) with smooth bitterness, citrusy hop flavor and aroma, and a spicy Rye malt profile. Corduroy Rye is a citrusy, moderately bitter IPA with spicy overtones from the Rye malt. The beginning taste of the beer emphasizes the floral hop flavor from lots of late hop additions and dry hopping. As the beer moves through the mouth the hop bitterness starts to become more prominent and offsets the malty and floral sweetness. The spicy contributions of the Rye occur here too and compliment the floral sweetness of the hops. Towards the back of the mouth the bitterness dominates leaving a sticky bitter taste behind that is one of the defining characteristics of IPAs. The beer is not bitter to the degree of some IPAs however. The high alcohol content is very well hidden as the beer is incredibly smooth and light. This beer does not shy away from citrusy hop flavor. Comparable beers include Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City brewing and, to some degree, Two Hearted Ale from Bell's though both have a more malty profile and lack the Rye spiciness.

Imported U.K. Northdown hops and a hint of roasted barley give this ale a bit of the old country.

Corne du diable (French for "Horn of the devil") is a contemporary interpretation of the classic English India Pale Ale. This new style, born on the west coast of North America, is characterized by stronger and hoppier beers. The result is a red ale expressing caramel flavours coming from the malt, sharp bitterness and powerful hop aromas, thanks to dry hopping
