Bryant Bridge Gateway Golden Ale
crisp & easy • low hop bitterness, light, clean, easy drinking 4.5% LOW ALCOHOL
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 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.

The Golden Pickle
flavored beer • coriander and cucumber, refreshing, slightly tart 4.5%
Here’s our Golden Ale blended with pickle juice, a la “dirty martini,” from our signature pickles. It really is delicious.That is, if you like pickles, of course. 

Sour Cherry Golden Ale
flavored beer • tart, fruity, strong cherry aroma 4.5%
Our sour cherry flavor perfectly pairs up with our light, clean Bryant Bridge Gateway Golden Ale, turning it into a pucker-your-cheeks sour cherry delight. 

Pratt Pilsner
light & crisp • crisp and refreshing, spicy hops, full-bodied   5.0%
We come as close to a real Czech Pilsner as we can in Durham by using softened water, Saaz hops imported from Czechoslovakia, Pilsen-style malt, and yeast that is Bavarian in nature. Pilsner is the “Beer of Kings” and the archetype of all the commercial lagers. William Pratt purchased the neighborhood around Ramseur Street in the 1830s and the area, called Pratt or Prattsburgh, became known as a “den of iniquity.”

Ale for ALS - Sour Ale
tart & hoppy • light, balanced sour, refreshing, tropical 4.0% LOW ALCOHOL
Brewed with a unique strain of yeast first cultivated from a wasp by researchers at NC State and a custom hop blend from the annual Ales for ALS fundraiser, this beer balances sourness with tropical fruit character.  There’s guava, passionfruit, and pineapple on the nose, blending with mango and tart citrus on the palate. $1 from each pint will be donated to the ALS Therapy Development Institute to fund ALS research.

Peach Raspberry Sour Ale 
flavored beer • light sour, lightly sweet, peach and raspberry  4.0%
Our peach raspberry flavor shot is the perfect accompaniment to our Ale for ALS Sour Ale, punching up the peach flavor with delicious raspberry on the nose.

Pompieri Birra Rossa
malty • pizza crust, low alcohol, light hops 4.8% LOW ALCOHOL
This light-bodied beer concentrates on malt character; we selected grains to give us flavors one finds in pizza crust, designing this beer to be the perfect accompaniment to Pompieri Pizza’s wood fired Neapolitan-style pizza. Pompieri Pizza was our sister restaurant, opened in 2014 in Durham’s Historic Fire Station #1, on the corner of Mangum Street and City Hall Plaza.

Viola Hefe Weiss
light, wheat • clove aroma, fruity, unfiltered   5.0%
Light, crisp, tart, and refreshing, wheat beer is the brew to enjoy when the temperatures rise. Our Hefe Weiss is brewed with a real Bavarian German yeast strain yielding aromas of cloves, banana, and other spices. Viola Turner is an important figure in Durham history, beginning her career at the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1920 as a humble, smart and spunky secretary. She eventually became the company’s treasurer and main connection to the larger financial world.

Violet Viola Blueberry Weiss
flavored beer • blueberry, fruity, unfiltered  5.0%
Here’s our Viola Weiss blended with refreshing blueberry flavor, adding a little more fruitiness to a refreshing, and delicious summertime beer.

Single Hop IPA: Zappa Hops
hoppy • berry, mint, black currant, pronounced bitterness   6.2%
Our SHIPA series uses the same simple base malt recipe with each batch to truly show off the character of the chosen hop. This time we present the Zappa hop varietal, one of the only commercially available neomexicanus subspecies of hop. Notice unique aromas of dark berries and herbal mint, with hay and strong black currant in the flavor, finishing with long and pronounced bitterness.
​

Bull’s IPA
hoppy • British style, herbal hops, toffee, lingering bitterness   5.9%
Bull’s IPA is balanced, playing the rich hop aromas against the malt flavors, it is noticeably bitter and very full-bodied. 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 as alcohol and hops are natural preservatives when refrigeration is not available. No history to the name, we just liked the sound of Bulls-EyePA.

Baldwin Baltic Porter
dark & roasty • caramel, toast, bittersweet hoppiness 10.0%
A jet black beer that pours with a dense, deeply tan foam head, this Baltic Porter is intensely rich and full-bodied. Bursting with an array of deep, sweet flavors from molasses and caramel to coffee and toast, the flavors continue to evolve from the first sip to the last. This beer is named after the Baldwin Auditorium on Duke campus which in turn is named for Alice Baldwin, who was a professor of history at Trinity, the first female faculty member at Duke, and first dean of the Women's college.
