| Brewer: |
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.

Firecracker
Pale Ale
A special brew to commemorate American Beer Month, first brewed in
2004. This snappy pale ale is a true American classic. It’s a straw
colored ale made with fresh North West Chinook hops and the world’s
finest malts. This is an easy drinking beer that still packs a punch.
Sky
Blue Golden Ale
For those desiring a lighter beer that still has hand-crafted
integrity, this beer is a Kolsch style ale made famous in its namesake
city of Cologne (Koln in German). This thirst-quenching brew is
spritzy, not too malty, with the pleasing aroma of imported Hallertauer
hops. While fermented warm like all ales, Kolsch beer undergoes a cold
aging period like a lager which results in a brew that is complex yet
easy to drink.
Copperline
Amber Ale
This brilliant red ale, brewed with caramel and pale malts is a best
seller at the Carolina Brewery. Using traditional brewing methods, the
ale yeast provides a touch of fruit and works in tandem with the malt
to make for a very drinkable ale. Kent Golding hops lend just enough
bitterness and aroma to round out the flavor.
Flagship
India Pale Ale
Originally, this intensely hopped ale was brewed in the 18th century to
survive the long sea journey from the cooler breweries in England,
around the Cape of Africa to India where the temperatures were too warm
to brew. This beer has a unique floral aroma from the generous addition
of Cascade hops to the fermenter in a procedure known as dry hopping. |

and bitter presentation.
Honest
White Zombie Belgian White
unfiltered wheat ale teeming with the spiciness of dried orange peel
and coriander.
Farmer
Ted’s Cream Ale
this brew has nothing to do with dairy products, its name comes from
its frothy white head. Golden in color and light in taste, hops are
subtle in this cold-conditioned brew.

Endless
River A clean, crisp
beer, Kolsch offers a very slight fruity navor and
aroma. Appearing light gold in color, with a delicate head. This
light bodied beer is easy to take pleasure in, and appeals to •
nearly everyone who samples it.
Weeping
Willow Wit Offering low
hop bitterness, it is a
pleasure to enjoy. It pours very hazy, and light gold in color ...
we say it's like summertime in a glass. Spiced with bitter
orange peel and fresh coriander, these navors add zest and
depth to this light, refreshing beer.
Sisters
of the Moon Made with
hops grown in the good '01 USA, you'll proudly support
American farmers when you drink this beerl Medium gold
in color, this beer has an intense hop aroma and strong hop
bitterness. Our hopback process uses fresh hop cones to take
this IPA to unexpected levels. Prepare for a mouth full of
navor.
Dark
Cloud This is a Munich
Dunkel. lager is the German
word meaning "to store" so this beer ages for three times
longer than our ales do. "Dunkel" means dark in German, but
don't let the color fool you. While this beer is robust and
complex in character, it is by no means heavy, overbearing or
bitter. In fact, it proves to be a very drinkable session beer.

You can’t judge a beer by its color. Just because a translucent gold
ale appears unassuming and dull like many near-tasteless light beers,
its actual flavor may very well be unrelated to its hue.
Pale yellow to bright gold colored beers are generally inviting in
appeal, though color can be deceiving. Take a golden Czech Pilsner, for
instance. Made to style, this thin yellow lager hides a playful punch,
thanks to Czech-grown Saaz hops, in its quick bitter finish. Almost as
pale in goldness, a potent Belgian Trippel is far-from-harmless.
Extremely malty, this beer of the Abbeys is so sweet that its 8% to 12%
alcohol content gets lost in the flavor profile.
Don’t be intimidated by dark beer. Brown Ales, like the popular imports
Newcastle Brown Ale and Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale, look challenging
in their chestnut tinted richness. But the English Brown style leaves
little room for bitterness. Friendly caramel sweetness is the dominant
flavor in these "dark" beers. Many German lagers also avoid bitterness.
Black beer creates even more apprehension for unschooled beer drinkers.
Take Dublin-brewed Guinness Draught Stout. Contrary to its heavy/harsh
perception, a result of its opaque bubbling blackness, a pint of
Guinness offers creamy mouthfeel and luscious dark chocolate malt
flavor, all with only 4.2% alcohol. That’s less alcohol than many of
the most popular mega-brewed domestic beers.
And what about those cloudy gold wheat beers? Unfiltered and unabashed,
live yeast creates foggy turbidity and contributes greatly to the
earthy, spicy flavor profile of traditional Hefeweizens and other wheat
beers. A ton of taste hides within this murky brew.
Please be a non-discriminating, color-blind beer drinker. Taste is the
most important of the senses when it comes to beer. Don’t let
appearance stand in the way of the taste experience. Give every beer a
chance. Cheers!
