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!

Please note that the tap list is subject to change, and the website is not always 100% up to date.
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. 
Bonnie Brae Scottish Ale
malty • low hops, toasted bread, sessionable 4.0%
Bonnie Brae (Scottish for Beautiful Hill) yields all the wonderful biscuity toast of a malt driven ale with just enough hops to balance the body without becoming bitter. Subtle and delicious, the Bonnie Brae Ale is named after the famous house located on Roxboro Road in North Durham. A historic house built by Richard Wright with tobacco money in 1898, the Bonnie Brae home was moved in 1993 to a new foundation in order to preserve history.
Lederer German Pilsner
light & crisp • crisp, refreshing, smooth hops, easy drinking 4.7%
We come as close to a real German Pilsner as we can in Durham. The German Pilsner is set apart from other pilsners by it’s lower alcohol content and smoother hop profile.. Pilsner is the “Beer of Kings” and the archetype of all the commercial lagers. In 1670, John Lederer, a German doctor, became the first European to describe the land that is now Durham County.
Hop Gauntlet Hazy IPA
hoppy • soft mouthfeel, citrus and tropical fruits, gentle bitterness   6.0%
The Hazy IPA style is characterized by an intensely floral hop character, undergoing a gauntlet of low-temperature hop additions after the boil. These hops are quite fruity with notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and passionfruit. Finish is soft with an almost grapefruit citrus quality.

Single Hop IPA: Azacca Hops
hoppy • tangerine, pineapple, mango   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 Azacca hop varietal, known for its notes of mango, pineapple, citrus and vanilla. This hop is named after the Haitian god of agriculture. Light malt character allows the hops to shine through; this beer finishes with a pleasant bitterness.
Honorable Bell’s Big Brown Ale
malty & dark • brown sugar, smooth, light caramel   6.0%
This Brown Ale is full-bodied with a hint of tobacco and citrus fruit, very American in style. The Big Brown Ale is like a chewy fig wrapped in a lightly toasted graham cracker crust. Mayor Bill Bell led our city from 2001 to 2017 and his leadership has been forever stamped on Durham’s history. We honor the Mayor with a beer we hope is as honorable as the man.
Pro Bono Publico Porter
dark • roasty espresso, dark chocolate, medium body   5.0%
A true British-style Porter brewed for Durham winter and for drinkability, this beer has a medium body with roasted coffee and toffee aromas and flavors from start to finish. This Porter has a creamy head like a cappuccino, but none of the caffeine. The Duke family’s first tobacco cigarette was called Pro Bono Publico which in Latin means “for the public good.” Sorry this beer is not free.
Seasonal Feature
Snow Hill Molasses Winter Warmer
malty • 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.
** Reserve Beer List **

These specialty Reserve Beers are canned by hand in the brewery. Limited quantities are available for here and to go.

Solera Beer
boozy aromas with caramel, fig, and spice 9.8%
Fourteen years in the making, our Belgian Tripel aged in neutral oak casks blended in the Solera tradition.


Bourbon Barrel-Aged Belgian Dubbel
dark dried fruit, caramelized sugars, bourbon spices, vanilla 11.0%  
Wib & Dub-bel Gulley Belgian Ale aged in a bourbon barrel for eight months

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout
dark roasted coffee and chocolate, bourbon spices, vanilla  
A Russian Imperial stout is brewed with massive amounts of barley and bitter hops to balance the richness of the malt. This vintage was aged in Bourbon barrels smoothing the sharp edges and adding notes of oak.
