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.

Catsburg (Honey Oat Ale)
Floral honey aroma, malty, sweet, refreshing - 5.0%
Catsburg  beer  is  our  own  unique  style.  The  honey  flavor,  derived  entirely  from  the malts blends flawlessly with a unique toasted flavor from the Blond Roast Oat Malt. Sheriff Eugene Belvin, known for  the  Catsburg  general  store,  was  legendary  for  sneaking  up  on  bootleggers.  Rumor  has  it  that  he may have been a bootlegger himself  and used his badge to get rid of  competition.

Powe Gose
Fresh lemon, sourdough, slightly tart, salt - 5.0%
This German-style Gose starts with aromas of sourdough bread, coriander, and a bit of citrus. The first sip is mildly tart, with a counterbalancing salinity followed by preserved lemon, sweet malt, and
fresh baked bread. Edward Knox Powe was general manager of the Erwin Cotton Mills in Durham around the turn of the last century, and was a philanthropist with great interest in public education.

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.​

Blind Boy Fuller Black IPA
IPA meets stout, dry and crisp, roast and fruit - 7.0%
Popularized on the west coast of the US, Black India Pale Ale is a dark and very hoppy beer. Brewed very much like a regular IPA, with added black malt to darken the color. We name ours after Blind Boy Fuller, American Blues guitarist and singer born in 1907. Blind Boy Fuller began to lose his eyesight in his teens and turned to guitar and singing. He recorded over 120 record sides in his career.

SHIPA: Ahhhroma
Pineapple, peach, mango, assertive 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 Ahhhroma hop varietal from Yakima Quality Hops. Aromas of pineapple and berries initially hit the nose, flavors of peach, tangerine, and mango
blend with a note of cinnamon. The bitterness on the long finish is assertive but not overpowering.

"GOAT" Bullock Bock
Full bodied malt, toffee, crisp dry finish - 6.5%
A true German-style Bock beer, this lager is light amber/brown in color with a medium-full body, rich and malty, brewed with Munich malt and traditional German hops. We honor John "Goat" Bullock, a standout player on the 1965-66 Hillside High School "Pony Express" team. With potential to become an NBA star, Goat scored 42 points in the championship, then left for NY and was never seen again.

Sweet Success Ale
Caramel, pie spices, molasses - 5.0%
Sweet Success Ale is brewed with NC sweet potatoes, in collaboration with Derek Rhodes of Success Summit. This spiced beer is reminiscent of sweet potato pie, with a lovely orange tint to the beer, and an earthy sweetness. We celebrate Pine Knot Farms, a black-owned farm in Person County, that grows the sweet potatoes we used to make this delicious beer.
