How we work
Four steps, every job.
01
Mill & mash
We mill on a Apollo two-roller every morning and mash in on a Premier Stainless 10 bbl steam-fired brewhouse.
02
Ferment cold, ferment long
Lagers ferment cold for six to ten weeks. IPAs ferment 14 days and dry hop for three. We do not rush.
03
Package & serve
All beer is canned in our taproom on a Wild Goose duo or sold direct from the brite tank to the taproom.
04
Drink it fresh, locally
We self-distribute inside Buncombe County only. Most of our beer is poured within 600 feet of the brewhouse.
Our promises
What you get with every job.
Lager-forward, IPA-balanced
We brew six lagers a year, four IPAs, and let everything else move with the season. Lagers get six to eight weeks. We do not rush.
100% renewable taproom
The taproom runs on Carolina Solar, our spent grain feeds a hog farmer in Madison County, and our packaging is fully aluminum and recyclable.
Employee-owned since 2023
Three founding owners sold a controlling stake to our staff in 2023 through a real ESOP. Eleven employees, eleven owners.
