Raise a stein to the world’s original beer fest! This authentic German-style lager is a gateway to the celebration, from Munich to Morganton. Brewed according to modern day Bavarian standards, our Festbier represents a lighter, more sessionable evolution of the classic Märzen style. Prost!

This easy-drinker showcases its distinctive Vienna malt character, with notes of light bread crust and a soft sweetness. Noble hops provide balancing bitterness, lending a touch of floral, spicy hop aroma and flavor. It finishes smooth and clean.

Inspired by a shared mission to protect the waterways that connect us, Catawba’s collaboration with Bold Rock Hard Cider gave life to this limited release – “crushed and crafted in the Blue Ridge Mountains™.” This elegantly rustic wheat beer is soured according to Old World methods, then fermented on crushed green apples handpicked in Western North Carolina.
A portion of all proceeds benefit the global Waterkeeper Alliance and our local Riverkeeper organizations.

Gently tart, light and refreshing, this Farmhouse Ale finishes clean and dry, like a fine cider – in a word, “crushable.”

Peanut Butter Jelly Time®
ABV
IBU
Remember when your mom packed a PB&J sandwich in your lunchbox? The flavors all melded into pure comfort food by noon! Well, we recreated this childhood goodness in a beer! This light brown ale is brewed from five different grains and then aged for weeks on raspberries and roasted peanuts. Take a sip, let the flavors mingle on your palate, and enjoy our PB&J in a glass.
Tasting Notes:
This beer begins life as a light brown ale that provides the bready qualities of the base beer. After fermentation, it is rested on whole roasted peanuts and all-natural raspberry puree, which truly transforms this into a PB&J sandwich in a glass.

Brewed in collaboration with Diamond Brand Outdoors, western NC’s original and oldest outdoor gear shop. It’s the perfect beer to enjoy around a backwoods campfire or at a family BBQ – wherever your own endless trail takes you.
Tasting Notes:
Helles is German for “bright”. This is a refreshing lager with a malty, balanced easy drinking character. It has the aroma of fresh grain with Bavarian noble hop spiciness. Food parings include salads, hummus, roasted pork with bacon, sauerkraut, and potato dumplings. Soft, mild cheeses, including Chèvre and Mozzarella would be a good accompaniment.

Rainstorms falling high in our North Carolina mountains create the wildest whitewater around. Avid kayakers who paddle those gnarly, muddy creeks call it “running the brown”. We collaborated with Asheville’s own Pyranha Kayaks to capture their boundless spirit and energy in this Brown IPA.
