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. As the locals say, “Bless their hearts, they don’t know any better.” With an abundance of fresh Citra and Cascade, this IPA boasts a big biting hop profile with notes of tropical fruit, juicy citrus, and pine. Embrace her beastly charms!

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!

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!
