A smooth and crisp, delicately balanced beer German-style beer with its origins in Cologne, Germany, our Waterline Kölsch has a subdued maltiness at first taste but finish with a pleasantly refreshing, citrusy tang rounded out by the lightest touch of hops for some flavor without bitterness. Not only is this coolly refreshing on a hot North Carolina afternoon, but take some home in a growler and it’ll go great with an afternoon lunch or the evening meal. It’s also really our “gateway” beer for folks who want to experience craft but aren’t sure exactly where to start and since it’s lower gravity it makes a nice session beer.
COFFEE & CREAM PALE ALE
A light bodied pale ale with creamy coffee notes & a sweet, smooth finish. Like drinking your favorite iced latte, it's perfect for summer and for breakfast!
HEFEWEIZEN
Our Hefeweizen is a traditional German wheat beer, highly effervescent with moderate sweetness, a round body with light to moderate notes of banana and clove.
CAPTAIN’S ENGLISH PORTER
This beer is rustic and nutty, warm and bready, but light on the palate. With notes of caramel and bitter chocolate, the Captain’s English Porter is the perfect pairing to sail into the fall chill.
RED
An easy-drinking pint, our Waterline Red is malty and hoppy in an interestingly delicious American focus on the style. Hold your glass up to the light to admire the deep reddish copper color, stick your nose into the glass to fully appreciate the enticing malty smells with underlying hops and maybe toffee and butter. Of course, we like things different so we’re amping up the hops and taking it to the ragged edge of beer judge style guidelines. Traditional…but not really. This is easily our favorite beer; we know you’ll love it too!
OATMEAL STOUT
Rounding out the color spectrum, our Waterline Stout will be an oatmeal variety that you’ll immediately enjoy. It has a light sweetness that you wouldn’t expect in such a dark beer. You’ll find it served up with a thick tan-colored head and as you drink we think you’ll find hints of chocolate and coffee and cream imparted by our special mix of oats and the dark roasted grains. If there was ever a breakfast beer, this is it! Yum. Yum. Yum.
