Peach-Eat'n Szn

Peach IPA

Saturdays in the early summer meant stopping by the Bush-n-Vine after the ballgame for a basket of fresh peaches. The clingstone varietals always come out first, but they’re not the best for canning or freezing. Juicy and ripe and slightly tart, you gotta eat these right away--it's peach-eat’n season!

Peach-Eat’n Szn is our small-batch Peach IPA. We infused our classic #14 IPA with peach purée and an extra generous helping of hops to create this fresh summertime sipper. A ripe peach cobbler aroma followed by hints of apricot, pine, and orange citrus provide a layered hop profile to give just enough bitterness to balance the peach sweetness.

Coconut  Schwarzbier

Cool tropical rain rolled over the tin roof as I took a sip from a well-worn tin mug. The shower's hypnotizing undulation faded to the background as I closed my eyes and let the flavors wash over me. The day can wait until after I've had my coffee.  
 
Morning Mantra is our new schwarzbier, a tropical meditation on South Indian filter coffee. We brewed this dark lager with Indian coconut and Narasau's Udhayam coffee/chicory blend to create our take on a sweet, roasty, and smooth cup of kaapi. Toasted coconut up front with a dry woody finish. Find your bliss.

Fruited Hard Seltzer

Fresh flower blooms and the return of green on the trees. Warm and sunny afternoons followed by refreshing cool evenings. A tart glass of lemonade after working in the garden. That's right folks: porchin' season is back. 

 

Lemon Berry Seltzer is our latest refreshing fruited seltzer, back just in time for spring. This naturally gluten-free hard seltzer was blended with fresh lemon, blueberry, and raspberry purées to create a crisp, refreshing, and slightly tart sunny day crusher. Rocking chair sold separately.

NE-style IPA

My bud Nelson has a secret spot by the cove. Soft golden sand, smooth currents, tropical breezes, and fish that are always biting. It isn't on the map, so to get there, you'll need a 4x4.

4x4 is our new NE-Style IPA. Brewed with four different hops and four different grains, 4x4 presents waves of tropical, stone fruit, and pine surfing on a soft and pillowy mouthfeel. Go off the grid.

Lemon Meringue Gose

I rocked back and forth on the old wooden step stool and whisked gently. Grandma tasted a spoonful, then bent over my shoulder to pour in a touch more sugar. "How do you know how much to add?" I asked. She squeezed in a lemon and replied with a smile, "Grandmas just know." 
 
Number 26 is our Lemon Meringue Gose, inspired by one of our favorite springtime confections. We brewed this gose-style ale with lemon meringue purée and lactose to give it a tangy, creamy, tart, and sweet nostalgic flavor. Leave room for dessert.

Belgian Witbier

Sometimes we would beat the summer heat in the Triad by heading up to the mountains. There’s a great local tulip garden not too far off the Cullasaja river. Can’t beat a stroll through the tulips with a view of the Blue Ridge in the distance. All they need is a windmill.

Number 19 is our take on the Belgian-style Witbier. We put an American spin on this Belgian ale by adding citra hops in the whirlpool to provide an extra touch of refreshing citrus to complement the orange peel. A soft and round mouthfeel gives way to a subtle Belgian spice finish. Our Wit is a relaxing floral vacation for the hot days of summer.
