Drink Freshly brewed Beer

We use malt, hops, yeast, and water to craft fresh, true-to-style beer, rotating through over 60 unique beers. We keep our beers seasonal and interesting, while still brewing authentic tasting beers that are representative of the regions and countries where they originated. Cheers!

Currently on tap

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.
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!
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.
Snow Hill Winter Warmer 2023
molasses, dark dried fruit, caramel macchiato  - 8.6%
Our Winter Warmer is based on an American-style Barley Wine, incorporating a different spice blend each year. This year we feature Stone Brothers & Byrd first boil cane molasses, less bitter and more complex than traditional blackstrap, and Epiphany Malts Seashore Black Rye, with notes of chicory, dried dates, and caramel macchiato. In 1749, a 400 acre grant to James Rae became known as the Snow Hill complex.
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.​
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.
SHIPA: Zappa Hops
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, herbal mint, and hay, strong black currant in the flavor, and long, pronounced bitterness
"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.
Littlen Horny Session Ale
light, clean, slight hop bitterness  - 4.2%
In the traditional manner, we brewed a “small beer” i.e. low alcohol, easy-to-drink beer, using the grain from our barley wine. Littlen is pale in color, light-bodied, moderately hopped, and a delicious session ale. Each year, we brew our barley wine, after 4 weeks of fermentation, half is released in January as our “Youngen Horny.” The names all come from the reference to a bull’s horns of course.
