| Blowing Rock High Country Ale
This
American style Ale is fermented with a proprietary ale yeast strain
that provides a distinct fruity-ester aroma and flavor. The deep golden
product is characterized by a balanced hop bitterness and evident, but
not overwhelming, hops aroma. The kettle hopping is derived from
American Cascade and Centenniel hops, with generous dry hopping during
post-fermentation aging.
The medium body and crisp grainy character are created by a domestic
malt bill of 2-Row and Munich Style malts. Blowing Rock Bock Blowing Rock Bock is fermented with a proprietary lager yeast strain and aged for 5 weeks. Typical of the traditional German Bock style, its light copper tone is characterized by a toasty malt backbone derived from a combination of 2-Row malt and imported German specialty malts. The kettle hopping is derived from German Hallertau hops to impart a well balanced bitterness with only subtle hop aroma. The hardy body and strong malt exhibited by Blowing Rock Bock provide an integrated harmony of flavors making it a complex beer with easy drinkability. |

Sledgehammer Stout
this
is a dry stout, not sweet. It has a high abv for a stout and
this adds an alcohol bite at the end. The black barley adds a
flavor of roasted coffee or burnt toast. The Galena hops add
a spicy character, but this beer is more malty, than
hoppy. A small amount of wheat is used to create a
creamy texture to the beer. 6.0% abv Impale IPA is very hoppy. Hops add bitterness and are added during the boil in the brewing process. To get even fresher hop flavor, this beer is dry hopped in the serving tank. This creates a citrus/pine flavor. The dry hopping also makes the beer naturally cloudy. 7.0% abv Kill-A-Man Red is a malty beer. The malt character is more pronounced than the hops. The malt flavors are sweet, and earthy, while the hops add a dry spicy finish. 5.0% abv Farmhouse Ale is high in alcohol. There is a floral taste in the beginning followed by sharp citrus note. It may smell and taste like cloves, or other fresh herbs. It has a dry and smooth finish and is naturally cloudy. This beer is also dry hopped in the serving tank. Level-Headed Blonde is more malty than hoppy. The malt character has a bread like flavor. It is balanced by a subtle pepper spice taste from the hops. Wheat is also used in this beer to create a smooth body. The finish is dry light and refreshing. Brass Tacks is an ESB (Extra Special Bitter). Balanced between yeast, malt and hops. Malt adds sweetness, the hops add a spicey character similar to pepper and the east adds a citrus fruit flavor. No one flavor overpowers the other, creating a balanced beer. 7.0% abv Twisted Scot is has a strong malt character. This is from a large amount of roasted barley used in the mash. This makes the beer smooth, and smokey. It may also be described as sweet. This is a lightly hopped beer. The Scots call this beer a “wee heavy”, or a “120 shilling “ because it is high in alcohol. Shillings were the local currency and the lower the cost, the less alcohol in the beer. A cheaper beer would be called a “60 shilling” beer, or a “wee light”. 7.0% abv |
