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 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.

Golden Pickle
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 Ale • not available in flights
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.

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.

One Foot in the Yard English Ale
malty • dark golden and fruity, lightly hopped for a bittersweet finish   4.5%
Brewed as part of the third annual Durham Sister Cities Brewer’s Exchange event, the recipe of this beer came from Yard of Ale Brewing, located in the North East of England since 2008. One Foot in the Yard is a refreshing beer with a dark golden color, light malty character like toasted brioche and bittersweet caramel, and lightly hopped for a mildly bitter finish, making for a wonderful example of a modern British pint.

Malbourne Maibock
light & malty • sweet cereal, floral aroma, dry crisp finish   7.0%
​The Malbourne Maibock is a lager in the traditional spring or "May" bock style. The spring bock is light in color like a Helles lager, but a little higher in alcohol and emphasizes the pale malt flavors and distinctive Hallertauer hop nose. The Malbourne hotel was built in 1912 on the corner of Main and Roxboro streets. It was a stunning, modern hotel with 125 rooms, hot and cold water, and 50 private bathrooms.

Parrish Street Pale Ale
hoppy • 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 the home to many black-owned businesses.

Hot Pepper Pale Ale
flavored beer • 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!

Liberty Amber Ale
light & crisp • caramel, toast, bittersweet hoppiness   5.0%
This thirst quenching ale was brewed to satisfy our desire for hop-forward flavors and our need for a lower-alcohol summer beer during the hot months. It has a lighter body, pleasant fruity character, and just the right amount of bitterness. Named after Liberty Warehouse formally located on Rigsbee Ave., one of the giant tobacco auction warehouses that used to make their homes in Durham.

Single Hop IPA: Motueka Hops
hoppy • tropical fruit, assertive bitterness   6.1%
Our SHIPA series uses the same simple base malt recipe with each batch to truly show off the character of the chosen hop. This batch features Motueka hops, which display aromas of sauvignon blanc and pineapple. Notes of tropical fruit flavors mix with an assertive bitterness. Light malt character allows the hops to shine through.

Jack Tar Dry Irish Stout (on Nitro)
dark & roasty • 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.
