Limited Production/Releases
We're always experimenting and trying out new varities and recipes as well. Keep an eye out for various limited production beers including our barrel aged series, dry hop experiments and collaborations! Some of these will be one-offs, other might end up being yearly or irregular releases.
Redeemer- A big, delicious (I refuse to say "hoplicious"!) Imperial IPA. That's what you get when you order just a few (hundred) pounds too many hops! And lucky us I say. Columbus, Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade, and Zythos hops all play their part in making Redeemer a fantastic IPA you'll enjoy from start to finish. 10% abv
Seven Devils- An experiment with barrel aging. We brewed a delicious Scottish Ale (anyone remember our Nessie's?) and aged it in bourbon barrels.Our brew master says "It's like drinking a candy bar." Notes of chocolate, caramel, and coconut blend with the caramel and roasty maltiness typical of Scotch Ales. Available on tap and in 22oz bottles. 8% abv
Lindley Park- An imperial stout brewed with honey and raspberries, then aged in bourbon barrels. Pure bliss. THe chocolate notes from the stout come through and blend with the richness of the honey and the tangy fruit of the raspberries. Then add in the bourbon characteristics picked up from the barrels and you have a beer that will be delicious now, or age well if you want to save this limited release for a special ocassion. Pro tip - this is quite possibly the perfect beer for Valentine's Day, but there's no way it'll last that long in stores, so pick it up for your beer cellar now! 10% alc/vol. The 2012 release is sold out, but look for the 2013 return next fall/winter.
Orion- The third, and final, entry in our saison series. This one was brewed with rye to emphasize a spicy and earthy character. 8.5% alc/vol.
Southern Belle- The second in our 2012 series of saisons.Southern Belle was brewed with Belgian malts, including acidulated malts which created a crisp beer with a little bit of tartness. It also used Styrian Aurora hops, a cousin of Styrian Goldings, which are often found in saisons, and lend a lemony citrus flavor and aroma which compliments the tartness of the malts. It was then aged in chardonnay barrels. These barrels were on their third use (for beers) and so the wine character is more subdued with a stronger oak character. 8.5% alc/vol
B's Nuts- Winner of the 2012 Olde Hickory Pro Am! Brian Pesci's winning submission is a brown ale brewed with a ton of pecans! 6.3% alc/vol
Bestway IPA- Returning for a second year by popular request! Originally crafted in honor of one of our retail supporters, this fantastic IPA is aged with oak. Available on draft and in 22oz bottles for a limited time.
Saison Gee- The first Olde Hickory saison and one of three we will release this year (2012)! All the bubbly, fruity characteristics you expect from a bottle aged farmhouse-style ale, plus unique qualities derived from time spent in chardonnay barrels. Please note a higher abv than is common for this style - 9.0% alc/vol.
Daniel Boone- What better way to celebrate the pioneer spirit than with a special beer? Daniel Boone is an imperial brown ale, aged in bourbon barrels. Tons of vanilla and brown ale sweetness on the nose and prominant bourbon character on the palate. A wonderful, limited release beer! 8.5% alc/vol
Eiraphiotes- Eiraphiotes was a very limited relase. An Imperial Pilsner we aged in chardonnay barrels, it begins with a hoppy, floral nose, with a hint of grape skins. Fruity, medium body on the palate, with a malty sweetness, hints of grapes, a slight acidity and oaky dryness. Hops first on the finish, followed by sweet malt and finally dry oak. Available for a short time throughout NC in 750ml bottles and on tap in just a in a few locations. Winner of a Silver Medal at the 2012 LA International Commerical Beer Competition!
