Evening Joe

Coffee Blonde

ABV

IBU

Two of the world’s favorite beverages unite in this soul-satisfying, golden-colored coffee beer. Blended with cold-brewed Arabica coffee and natural vanilla flavor, this liquid paradox looks like your evening pint but drinks like your morning cup. Here’s to ending your day as deliciously as it began!

Tasting Notes:

Like the Cream Ale at its roots, the beer is light and crisp, endlessly drinkable. Arabica coffee is introduced after fermentation to impart delicious notes of roast and dark chocolate typically associated with Porters and Stouts, without detracting from the beer’s refreshing quality. Natural vanilla flavor and lactose sugar add a hint of sweet cream to top off this café au lait-inspired cold brew.

Our Blue Ridge Mountains harbor their own Nessie: Hoppius Heddius, The HOPness Monster. She lurks in the cold, fresh waters of Western North Carolina, rising to terrorize poor, hop-shy souls.

Embrace her beastly charms!

IBU

We named this beer as a Halloween seasonal brew. But its refreshing taste makes it a year round staple. Zombie is made according to the Belgian Witbier tradition of using unmalted wheat to create the light body and white sheen. Additions of coriander and orange peel give Zombie a fruity and spicy character, while the hops are subtle and lightly detected. Don’t be scared to blow the head off a Zombie and drink up!

Farmer Ted’s Cream Ale is an indigenous American beer style created as an answer to post-prohibition German lagers. We pay tribute to the beers made on early, rustic systems by using natural ingredients like corn and barley to create a smooth and full-bodied, straw-colored ale. Reward yourself with a Farmer Ted’s after a long day plowing the fields, or just after mowing the lawn!

Tasting Notes:

A crisp and refreshing beer that finishes with a hint of sweetness. Corn is added to the mash to create the creamy mouth feel for which this style is known.

IBU

Despite George Washington calling it a “trifling place”, Charlotte evolved from a simple dirt crossroads into a leader of the new South. True to that spirit, Catawba has been evolving Carolinas’ craft brewing since 1999. This new creation, CLT India Pale Ale, offers up a modern, double dry-hopped, in-your-face explosion of tropical fruit and pine. And at 7.2% ABV, like today’s Queen City, don’t trifle with it!

Tasting Notes:

This big IPA has loads of ripe tropical and stone fruit notes from copious amounts of Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo,and Centennial hops. A light malt bill leaves this beer with a dry finish allowing the hops to stand out.

Black Dome^®

Stout

ABV

IBU

Mt. Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi, was aptly named “Black Dome” by our ancestral settlers due to a thick canopy of spruce and for trees that shut out the sun. Our tribute to this Black Mountain range icon is a deep, mystical mix of caramel, chocolate, and roasted malt flavors that glide across the palate. Enjoy this pleasureable journey to our high-country’s dark side!

Tasting Notes:

Roasted, chocolate, and dark caramel malts accent this stout creating hints of burnt, coffee-like flavor in the aroma and mouth feel. This beer is malt forward, but is well attenuated making it a dry stout.

Ursus Americanas, or black bears, are prominent in western North Carolina. But Catawba’s rare Brown Bear also roams these mountains. Its smooth caramel and chocolate notes dominate your first taste, then a subtle dryness cleanses your palate just in time for another sip. This English inspired brown ale is dark and flavorful, yet not too robust or filling. Libate, don’t hibernate!

Tasting Notes:

Chocolate malts create a deep brown color and accent the flavor notes of dark cacao and caramel. The supporting malts buttress a complex body and provide hints of toffee and rich toasted aromas.
