Golden Pickle
coriander & cucumber, fresh - 4.5%
Here’s our Golden blended with pickle juice, a  la “dirty martini,”  from  our signature pickles.  It really is delicious. That is, if you like pickles, of course.

Bryant Bridge Gateway Golden Ale
Low hop bitterness, light, clean, easy drinking - 4.5%
This straw-colored golden beer is light on the tongue, with low hop levels and notes of peach and citrus on the nose and in the flavor. We recommend this brew to those just venturing into craft beer and anyone looking for a refreshing thirst quencher. Durham's Bryant Bridge crosses Rte. 147, shining brightly at night with its blue LED lights. It is the gateway to the Bull City and this is our gateway to drinking craft beer.

Parrish Street Pale Ale (British-Style)
​Orange zest, bittersweet caramel, floral hops - 5.0%
Our Parrish Street Pale Ale has an alluring autumn hue. Aromas of caramel, orange zest, and light floral hops greet the nose. The flavor provides a pleasant, sweet malt character up front, finishing crisp and hoppy. This district of Parrish Street was known as “Black Wall Street” in the early twentieth century, as it was the home to many black-owned businesses.
​

Hop Gauntlet Hazy IPA
Floral, citrus, and tropical fruits, gentle bitterness - 6.0%
This is the first New England IPA we brewed at BCBB.  The NEIPA style is characterized by an intensely floral hop character, undergoing a gauntlet of low temperature hop additions after the boil. This process also reduces bitterness, allowing the floral and citrus hop character to fill the glass and intrigue the palate. This beer has a lovely soft body, and full mouthfeel.

Bull's IPA (British-Style)
Herbal hops, toffee, lingering bitterness - 5.9%
Bull’s IPA is balanced in style playing the rich hop aromas against the malt flavors, noticeably bitter and very full-bodied. Apricots, flowers, citrus and caramel unite in a mouthful of beer goodness. India Pale Ale is a style that originated in England, produced higher in alcohol and with more hops to preserve the beer on long sea voyages to India when refrigeration wasn’t available.

Rogers Lager (Vienna-Style Lager)
malty, bready, dry crisp finish - 4.5%
This lager is crafted in the Vienna style using both Munich malt and German  Hallertauer  hops, showing a copper amber hue with rich malty tones.  Rogers Lager  is a  prime example  of   the clean 
and crisp flavors that come from using lager yeast.  The Rogers Pharmacy was a Saturday meeting place for the community, where everyone shopped for sundries and medicines.

Durhamer Ale (Brown Ale)
light body, chocolate bread, dark dried fruit - 5.5%
Durhamer is a new style of beer designed from the ground up by our brewers to represent our great city and, more  generally, the South.  A  Durhamer  is chestnut brown in color, reminiscent of   Burley tobacco (a  variety  that helped put  Durham on the map), low in hop bitterness, and  uses as  many locally-sourced ingredients as feasible including Epiphany Malt located right here in Durham.

L&M Quality Quad
​dark dried fruits, full-bodied, toffee - 9.0%
Belgian-style Quadrupels are known for being full-bodied and full-flavored. Ours has intense aromas of stone fruits, with toffee, caramel and light banana with a pleasant round mouthfeel and plenty of flavor to boot! Liggett and Meyers Tobacco Co. was headquartered here in downtown Durham. Their slogan was "Quality product, Quality people."

Cuvée #1
oaky spice, dark fruits, toasted sugars, dry tannic finish - 7.5%
Translated from French, cuvée means “tank,” but is used to refer to a blended wine. Our Cuvée series employs the same concept to our beers, and this Cuvée #1 is a blend of barrel-aged beers and fresh Belgian Quad. Start with aromas of oaky spice and dark dried fruits, then layers of flavor unfold with each sip; spiced plum, bruléed sugar, roasted pear, bourbon-aged vanilla, and a hint of tangerine. Tannins from the barrels create a mouthwatering finish that leaves you thirsty for more.
