Bryant Bridge Gateway Golden Ale
low hop bitterness, light, clean, easy drinking  - 4.5%
This straw-colored golden beer is capped with a pillowy white head and is light on the tongue. Fruit flows into the flavor with more peach and citrus. Low hop levels give this beer a light and delicate finish. We recommend this brew to those just venturing into craft beer or anyone looking for a refreshing thirst quencher. Durham’s Bryant Bridge crosses over Rt. 147 and is the one lighted with blue LED lights at night. It is the gateway to the Bull City and this is our gateway to drinking craft beer. This ale is available year round. Hops Used: Goldings, Willamette
Golden Pickle
coriander and cucumber, refreshing, slightly tart - 4.5%
It was supposed to be a one off, tongue in cheek, yet delicious whimsical beer for Sam’s new bottle shop. It was so popular folks came into BCBB expecting to drink the Golden Pickle at the brewpub, so we had to do it. Here’s our Golden Ale blended with pickle juice, a la “dirty martini-style,” from our signature cucumber pickles. It really is delicious. That is, if you like pickles of course. Try this with a Pimento Burger and you’ll be in heaven. If not, well then you are in a pickle. Hops: Golding, Willamette.
Viola Hefe Weiss
clove aroma fruity, unfiltered  - 6.2%
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.
Veruca Viola Blueberry Weiss 
blueberry, fruity, unfiltered 6.2%
Here’s our Viola Weiss blended with refreshing blueberry flavor, adding a little more fruitiness to a refreshing, and delicious summertime beer.​

Pratt Pilsner
crips and refreshing, spicy hops, full bodied - 6.2%
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 before they started becoming watered down to modern day levels. 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.”
Pandora's Box American Ale 
citrus hops, orange, assertive bitters - 6.0%
As a counterpart to our year round British style Parrish Street Pale Ale, we offer a truly American style pale ale in all its hoppy glory. It is copper hued with a heady nose of hops and boosted alcohol because that’s the American way. This is the modern American take on pale ale. Pandora’s Box was the nickname given to the home of Dr. Bartlett S. Durham, who was the city’s namesake. This log house, located just north of the railroad tracks near present day Corcoran and Main, had 4 rooms plus an attic and was also used as a guest house. We can only imagine how it got it’s name.
Hot Pepper Pale Ale
orange zest, spicy pepper, floral hops  - 5.0%
This is our Parrish Street Pale Ale blended with a house-made hot pepper extract. Lightly spicy, with a nicely balanced malt backbone and floral hops to finish. Watch out, this one will sneak up on you!
Single Hop IPA: Cashmere Hops 
​
tangerine, pineapple, long bitter finish - 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 Cashmere hop varietal, known for its tropical fruit and citrus characteristics. This hop is the result of a marriage between Cascade and Northern Brewer hop varietals and exhibits notes of both, finishing with a long and lingering bitterness.​
Jack Tar Dry Irish Stout​
roasty flavors, coffee, light body 4.0%
A true session stout like those from Ireland served on Nitrogen for a creamy head. Our Stout is dry, very dark and roasty with deep charred flavors, but still lighter in body and not super high in alcohol. There’s a pot of gold at the bottom of every pint, but be careful not to swallow it on the last sip. The Jack Tar was a hotel located at the end of Parrish Street where the big bull now stands. This beer takes time to pour.​
Youngen Horny Barley Wine​ 
full malty body, fig and caramel, spicy hops 9.0%
The Youngen Horny is an English-style Barley Wine (all grain, no grapes) made in the traditional British style, with fruity fig and caramel aromas, a light toasty bread crust quality, and a rich intensely long finish. Barley Wines are a badge of honor among brewers and hope you enjoy the balance, elegance and pleasure this beer provides. The name comes from the reference to a bull's horns of course.​
Dunkel Monk
brunch, Belgian waffles, banana, coffee, berries with toasted sugar - 10.0%
Filled with a wide range of subtle fruit flavors, this Trappist-inspired Belgian-style Dark Ale will have you discovering new layers in each sip. We started with fourteen different varieties of malt that harmonize in a complex array of velvety richness, coalescing in brûléed sugar, bittersweet caramel, roasted coffee, and honey. Unique hops and traditional Belgian yeast add notes of Bananas Foster, red berries, and earthy spice.
