| 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. |

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. |
