JOIN US!! TOGETHER WE CAN "OPEN THE PORTAL!" Mater

JOIN US!! TOGETHER WE CAN "OPEN THE PORTAL!" Materializing tomorrow! Available for presale on the webshop now.

Our newest Lagered offering "Open the Portal" is a 4.9% ABV Pilsner that started with a base of 100% Rverbend Malt Pilsner, and a punishing amount of German Tettnang in the boil and whirlpool. Fermented cold and clean with our preferred House Lager yeast, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and then laid down to rest in our Horizontal Lager tanks for over 2 months for maximum crispness.

We loved this base beer, but we love coffee even more, and we love @cooperativecoffeeroasters EVEN MORE THAN THAT! We’ve known Matt for years, and we’ve been on the hunt for the perfect opportunity to pair his coffee with our beer. We did an intensive cupping session catered around our personal preferences, and settled on a naturally processed Ethiopian bean, Benti Nenka, that Matt just absolutely knocked out of the park.

We blended in a house-processed cold brew concentrate until we achieved the perfect balance, and we couldn’t be more jazzed about it. Notes of classic dry-cracker Pilsner malt character, chocolate-covered clementine wedges, herbal tea tannins, scones dipped in fruity-tooty berry jam, and just a hint of that classic coffee roast we all know and love. As with all our Lagers, this is crisp AF, refreshing, and ultra balanced. We LOVE this, and cannot WAIT for the next Coffee Pils in a few months.

Spoiler: this base coldbrew may or may not also end up in cans… It really was THAT good...Dibble dabbling in some cold brew products.

THERE'S SNAKES IN MY TAPROOM!!! Slithering Sales s

THERE'S SNAKES IN MY TAPROOM!!!
Slithering Sales start tomorrow. Webshop presale available now.

The latest offering in our dessert-inspired Kaiju bottles, "Duh! Snake Blood" is a 9% ABV Raspberry Chocolate Imperial Stout, inspired by the ever-infamous Raspberry Ganache. We started off with a base of Maris Otter, layered on a bevy of specialty and roasted malts, ran a continuous boil for over 6 hours, and hit it with some extra sugar in the kettle to get the base of this thiccccc Imperial Stout where we wanted it.

We fermented it low and slow, cold-conditioned it for many moons, and then dosed in @frenchbroadchocolate cacao nibs and husks, Madagascar Vanilla Beans, and a very heavy-handed helping of Raspberries. It sat on this mountain of flavor for a few weeks prior to packaging, and the result is pretty spectacular. Huge, thick, sticky Chocolate-covered Raspberries up front, this is pretty much just a mug full of Chocolate Ganache and Raspberry jam poured over rich-AF fluffy Chocolate Cake on the finish. Total yum. Come on, taste the snake. It won't bite.

WARNING: We used copious amounts of fruit and don't recommend cellaring this bottle. Keep it cold and drink it fresh, y'all!

SECOND WARNING: No snakes were harmed in the making of this product.

MEET OUR NEW BESTIES FROM GREEN OPPORTUNITIES Las

MEET OUR NEW BESTIES FROM GREEN OPPORTUNITIES

Last week we had the pleasure of spending some time with the lovely people over at @greenopportunities ("GO") to learn more about all the good they do for our local community. 100% of the proceeds from our "BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL" beer will be going to support the work that GO does helping people in need find stable financial opportunities.
We spoke with Iindia, Jojo, Tony, and Anna to learn more about their backgrounds, history with the non-profit, and their vision for GO in the future. We knew we wanted to partner with GO prior to meeting, and after talking with them for a few hours we left feeling even more excited to see all the good this money will do for our community.
GO is always accepting donations especially in these uncertain times. If you can, please donate directly on their website.

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL is available now!!

🙏🙏🙏

We’re so stoked to finally announce that we are

We’re so stoked to finally announce that we are joining the #blackisbeautiful movement hosted by @weatheredsoulsbrewing , and brewed in collaboration with @riverbendmalt and @craftpeak . The leadership from Weathered Souls during these times is incredibly inspiring. Here at DSSOLVR, we welcome and support people of every race and know that this is just a small way we can use our privilege to make a difference. With this worldwide collab, we hope to bring awareness to systemic racism and the massive injustices faced by BIPOC every day. With the support of Riverbend Malt and Craftpeak, 100% of the proceeds from this beer will go directly to @greenopportunities right here in AVL. “GO'' trains, supports, and connects people from marginalized communities to sustainable employment pathways. We wanted to ensure that our efforts would see an immediate impact in our local communities, and GO is a great example of sustainable and long-lasting community development, right here in our home of AVL.
Massive thanks to Ayo @flashyartstudioatl , a supremely talented artist/bartender/human we have been blessed to call a friend, who helped with additional illustration on the label!

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL is available now!!

Everyone: “Um, so is that a typo? 2.8% ABV? Why

Everyone: “Um, so is that a typo? 2.8% ABV? Why would you do that?”

Months later: “Uh, hey...so do you have any more of that Petite IPA? I loved it so much.”

We knew you’d come around! Welcome to the right side of the Petite Haze!! Mashed with @riverbendmalt Barley and a blend of American Oats and Wheat, then fermented with our House IPA yeast. We switch up the hops for each batch of “ANOTHER DAMN SKULL”, so we called Hallertau Blanc to the stage, with backup by the ever-popular Idaho 7. Did we mention it’s 2.8% ABV? Sure doesn’t drink like it!

Notes of running downhill with your mouth open, that perfect glass of dry Sauv Blanc on a crisp Summer night, bowls of overnight oats with pineapple and peach bits, dank edibles, and not being able to see your fingers through the glass.

Welcome back, old friend. We missed you so, so much.

AVAILABLE NOW! Time to CRUSH THE DAMN HAZE!

ANOTHER MARSHMALLOW SOUR?! OMG! OMG! So y’all f

ANOTHER MARSHMALLOW SOUR?! OMG! OMG!

So y’all freaked out about our Pineapple Marshmallow sour “Pleasant Murmurs” and we definitely got the message. Also, yes, this will officially be a regularly recurring series. We figured 4.0% ABV would make this a bit more of a “glugger”, as the cool kids say. They do say that, right? Anyways, "Supreme Murmurs” was soured overnight in our kettle, fermented clean with our IPA yeast, then conditioned atop a goddamn mountain of Peach, Apricot, Marshmallow, and just a kiss of cinnamon. Big, huge, whopping notes of overripe Peach crumble and fresh Apricot tarts, drizzled in Marshmallow sauce, kissed with cinnamon and then blended smoothie-style with some vanilla ice cream. Toss up those feet, sit back, and transport yourself back to the flavor oasis that is Murmur-ville.

4packs dropping this Wednesday. Webshop Pre-order available now!

🚨SUMMER CRUSHER ALERT!!🚨 Brewer Ben has bee

🚨SUMMER CRUSHER ALERT!!🚨

Brewer Ben has been craving some Key Limeade, so we let him run this Gose iteration, and “Teetering on Midnight” is just that...in a 5.5% ABV form.

Our first Citrus Gose started with a simple grist of Pilsner, Wheat, and Oat malts, was soured overnight in our kettle, fermented clean with our IPA yeast, and dosed with a complex blend of Sea Salts and Coriander. We then refermented it on a grove’s worth of Key Lime, Blood Orange, and Clementine, giving it a truly intense citrus kick.
🍊🍋🌊🍊🍋🌊🍊🍋🌊🍊🍋🌊🍊🍋🌊
Notes include sweet Key Lime pie with an extra dollop of whipped cream, extra-tart Lemonade from that annoying kid with a stand on the corner of your block, fresh-squeezed Orange Juice, and hints of fresh-ground Coriander. All wrapped up in a wave of acidity, with a slight salinity on the finish. Oh, hell yeah, BUDDY!

4packs dropping this Wednesday. Webshop Pre-order available now!

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE OMEGA OF BROWN ALES! TOP

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE OMEGA OF BROWN ALES! TOP HATS ON and enjoy the road to “HIGHER HIGHS ON HIAWASSEE STREET.” A PECAN TURTLE-INSPIRED 8.4% ABV IMPERIAL BROWN ALE! Bottles Available Today!! Don't turtle on this Taproom exclusive. On DRAFT starting tomorrow.

*insert that gif of Jonah Hill screaming with jazz hands*

Yes way! We wanted to do our best to put a fun spin on a favorite sweet treat of ours: the infamous Chocolate Pecan Turtle. “Higher Highs on Hiawassee Street” is a tip o’ the hat to our surrounding streets. We started with an Imperial Brown Ale to mix it up a bit and keep things focused on the Milk Chocolate aspect without too much roast interference. We dosed in some Dutch Cocoa and hit it very aggressively with real Caramel in the boil. Obviously, we had no choice but to pummel it with truly absurd amounts of Madagascar Vanilla, @frenchbroadchocolate Cacao Nibs and Husks, and fresh house-roasted Georgia Pecans. We’re pretty friggin’ pleased with the results.

We get heavy notes of liquified Pecan Turtle candies. Chocolate frosted Chocolate cake donuts, fresh-out-the-oven Pecan bits, sweet Vanilla ice cream, and the feeling of being showered in luke-warm Caramel. Sticky, sweet, rich, and oh-so-delightful. Get you some!

CONTAINS LACTOSE! THANKS, CARAMEL, YOU FICKLE FLAVOR BEAST!

GET IN THE MOOD!!! BIG MANDARINA MOOD! 4PKs Availa

GET IN THE MOOD!!! BIG MANDARINA MOOD! 4PKs Available Today!!! On DRAFT starting tomorrow. Hit that webshop for pre-order pickup.

In yet another continuation of our “BIG MOOD” single-hop IPA series, we’ve got a hop that we hold near and dear: Mandarina Bavaria.

TL;DR: Same base beer, NEW DANK HOP!

Notes of fruity breakfast cereal slathered in strawberry jam, orange sherbert, fresh clementine Lil Cutie wedges, and just a subtle hint of that dank good-good, brah. We honestly got a more amplified and unique character with this hop than any of us have seen before, and we hope you’re as pleasantly surprised as we were! Fruity, juicy, citrusy, and smooth as all hell. A very positive continuation of the series, this lil bad boi really has us excited about our processes we’ve been developing. We’re already drooling for the next one, though.

LEARNING IS FUN, DAMMIT! COME EXPLORE!
