IT’S BACK, BITCHES! We brought back another slammer from last Summer, and it’s a tasty little demon. “Devilish and Fancy” is a Gose with Sea Salt, Coriander, Guava, Feijoa, Raspberry, and Mango. AVAILABLE NOW!

We’ve changed quite a few things in our process since we first brewed this beer, and honestly, we feel that we achieved even more body, fruit character, and overall balance than last time!

Pretty much a Capri-Sun that someone melted a box of fruit-roll-ups into. Massive Raspberry and Strawberry character up front, followed by a tidal wave of Guava candies, a spritzing of dried Mango slices, and a really cool salty-citrus balance at the end from heavier doses of Sea Salt and Coriander. So good, it’ll make you wanna summon your inner party-demon ONCE AGAIN. But, like, still the fun one.

ABSOLUTELY NO LACTOSE IN THIS BEAST! Get your Fancy on with a 4pk to-go or try it on draft! Now available on the webshop for NC shipment.

OH, SNAP! A FRIGGIN DELUXE PLEASANT MURMURS?!

“Royal Murmurs” is a ramped up version of our OG Fruited Marshmallow Sour, “Pleasant Murmurs.” It was soured overnight in our kettle, fermented clean with our IPA yeast, then conditioned atop a truly hellacious amount of Pineapple and Marshmallow, but with a big ol’ helping of Passionfruit and Dragonfruit. Big, huge, face-pummeling notes of grilled Pineapple, dipped in Passionfruit syrup, drizzled in Marshmallow sauce, and blended smoothie-style with some Dragonfruit ice cream. Toss up those feet, sit back, and transport yourself to a flavor oasis. Another banger, if we do say so.

Swipe 👉for our best @twotidesjames and @twotidesliz impression.

HARK! THE VIENNA MAN COMETH!

Last year, we had the @latestartbrewing crew up to whip up the first iteration of “Color Me a Vienna Man”, but we loved it too much to not make some tweaks and bring it on back for y’all!

"Color Me a Viennaman" started off with a base of 100% @riverbendmalt. Comprised of Vienna, Malted and Golden Oats, and Munich malts, it was then gently kissed with classic American-grown Mt. Hood hops. We definitely hit it with a mix of approaches from both breweries, and laid it down to rest in one of our Lager Tanks for maximum clarity and crispness. Waves of rich malt character make way for a medium-bodied wall of nutty, toasted wheat bread slathered in honey, a forest trail laden with morning dew, and just a touch of spicy hop presence on the finish. Definitely less malty, and a touch lower in ABV than the last batch, but in an imminently more crushable and balanced way.

We couldn’t be happier with the reboot and subtle tweaks of this beer! Come snag some cans to celebrate the birth of our newest Lager, and one of our all-time favorite styles! Did we mention that we also love the Late Start crew?!

Hey Hey Hey! Dry Hopped Mixed Culture Foeder IPA!

“Eternal Mourning: Idaho 7” marks the beginning of a long period of experimentation that’s been happening behind the scenes here at DSSOLVR. One of the first beers we brewed was a base IPA composed of 100% @riverbendmalt 2-Row, Oats, and Wheat and hopped extremely aggressively with Simcoe, Amarillo, and Crystal. We then knocked that beer out into a fresh Cylindroconical Foeder (hell yeah!) from @foedercrafters , and fermented it with our proprietary House Mixed Culture, where it resided untouched for damn near a year. This will be used in a Solera method as our “Base Funky IPA”, so we pulled off a small portion and dry-hopped the bejeezus out of it with Idaho 7 before packaging and allowing it to naturally condition with @walkerhoneyfarm Wildflower Honey and a dash of our Mixed Culture. Almost 4 months later, here we are! Hey Hey Hey!

The Eternal Mourning base will get a different dry hopping each time, as we only pull off small portions into our Puncheons for any sort of secondary treatment. First up, is Idaho 7, and damn are we pleased with this.

Just a straight punch in the face with a fist full of funk, followed up with Pineapple rind in the sunshine, Ruby Red Grapefruits for breakfast, extra ripe and plump Plums, running through a field of Wheat with a fresh glass of Papaya juice, a touch of fresh Pine sap, and just the faintest balancing wisp of acidity.

AVAILABLE ON TAP AND IN BOTTLES NOW!

ANOTHER ONE O’ DEM ITALIAN PILSNERS?! Yes. Yes, it is. Please welcome “Billion Bear Death Stare” to the stage, y’all.

Bear is our local sales rep, Gary’s, sweet fluffy boy. Bear is a sweet, curious, and...vocal part of our office many days of the week. We thought it was only right to dedicate this beer to him for his 10th birthday! How old does that make him in doggo years? 50? 60? 70? 100? Don’t worry Bear, age is just a number. If you see his sweet face feel free to give him a pat. Okay, back to the beer deets.

Brewed with a base of @riverbendmalt Pilsner and just a touch of Melanoidin malt for extra depth, hopped very aggressively with Hallertauer Mittelfruh and Styrian Stravjinski Gold on the hot side, fermented low and slow with our House Lager yeast, and spunded for 100% natural carbonation...but, where it gets interesting. We dry-hopped this cold (at Lager temps) with Saphir and Willamette for a really fun, subtle, and nuanced layer of complexity.
We get notes of fresh loaves of white bread and soup crackers slathered in Orange Marmalade, someone shouting “THAT’S A GOOD BOY!” from a distance at a lovely dog with its’ cute tongue waggin’ all over the place, dainty cups of Green Tea, and a hint of a wind-kissed Wildflower bouquet. Obviously, this also packs our classic Lager character that we strive so hard to maintain: that Chippy-Boi™ crisp bite, minerality, and dry finish...but with a really fun twist. You already know.
PLEASE NOTE: “Italian-style Pilsner” just means more hop-forward and slightly softer than your typical Pilsner, and decidedly dry-hopped.

AVAILABLE NOW IN CANS AND ON DRAFT.

We were approached by the @crafted.culture crew to participate in Season 2 of their docu-series and we were like, “Oh, HELLS YEAH!” This season features our ugly mugs, along with the beautiful babes from @bhramari_brewingco , @greenmanbrewery , and the extra beautiful @zillicoahbeer boys. Each brewery agreed to utilize a specific malt from @riverbendmalt , a yeast from @whitelabstapavl , and a local ingredient of their choosing. Our chosen style is what we’re deeming “Fluffy IPA”, which is something we’ll keep making more of. It’s kind of like a “Milkshake IPA”, but with less Vanilla, more Marshmallow, and absolutely no Lactose. We are a surreal brewery, and we’re so excited to celebrate that weirdness and our love for local producers. Seriously, we couldn’t be more grateful for this project and this opportunity to spread the gospel of weird ol’ Asheville.

Our beer for this project, “Collected Elevation”, utilizes a the Riverbend NC-grown Southern Select malt (similar to a Golden Promise English Malt), the White Labs Coastal Haze Blend (gotta keep our IPA lookin’ like Play-doh, ya know?), and a truly exorbitant amount of house-made Marshmallow from the ever-talented folks @frenchbroadchocolate . We hopped this gently in the Whirlpool with Huell Melon, then dry-hopped it with Huell Melon and a whole mess of Madagascar Vanilla Beans, and then Double Dry Hopped this beast into oblivion with Galaxy, Ekuanot, and Mandarina Bavaria.

Notes of candied Orange slices, fresh wedges of Cantaloupe in the sun, breakfast cereal marshmallows, and Hi-Chew berry candies, with a thick and full body, all balanced by a pronounced malty biscuit presence. Yurp.

This will be available in a mixed 4-pk with 1x beer from each brewery on 3/11, so please stay tuned for release details. Each brewery will have all 4 beers on draft, and offer mixed cases to-go. Please, support this cool project. Marsh that mallow, brah. Elevate your collective.

This Friday, we’re saying a real sad goodbye to one of our first hires and favorite humans, Mike Fuller (@_fullermike_ ). He came on as a doorman/bartender, but we quickly realized we needed help in the cellar and it turns out that he’s actually got quite the brewing resume! We brought him on part-time and immediately knew we had to have him around more often, and he’s been one of our full-time Brewers / Cellarpeople since right around our opening. Mike was pivotal in keeping the ship afloat during the exhausting year of COVID, and his work ethic and high spirits were tantamount in helping us launch the second phase in our Mixed Culture program. Alas, he’s off to SC to run his own ship at a startup brewery in a big College town. We won’t ruin the surprise just yet, but keep your eyes peeled for a few upcoming collabs as they get set to open in the coming months!

You may have seen him around the taproom, but you’ve certainly consumed his hard work in liquid form. If you happen to see him before he leaves town, please give him a socially distanced air-hug and wish him the best of luck! We couldn’t be more excited to see what this next chapter holds for our buddy, the one and only, Mike Fuller! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! AND THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!

PS: This form of individual appreciation posts will be how we announce fresh batches of Thank You For Existing. So yeah, also there’s fresh Kolsch, babyyyyyyyyyy!

WHAT IN TARNATION IS A SPARKLIN’ SESSION MEAD?!

Well, that’s funny you should ask! Sparkling Session Mead utilizes a more diluted base of Honey and Water, usually treated with brewing salts and acid for pH correction, and fermented to total dryness. Typically, these are low in alcohol and sugar, but high in carbonation and flavor! That’s just what we did! AND WE DID IT TWICE!

Here at DSSOLVR, we’re not just about beer, but a spectrum of fermented products. We realize that sometimes beer may not be the best option for everyone. With that in mind, we’re going to keep trucking on down the line of non-beer options for all of our dopest/finest friends!

We started with the finest of honey from @walkerhoneyfarm in Austin, TX, treated our water just slightly to help make it pop, and fermented two separate blends with our House Wine Yeast. We also spunded these tanks for natural carbonation, giving them some extra smooth bubbles.

“Only For My Finest Friends” is a 5.0% ABV Sparkling Session Mead utilizing Orange Blossom and Yaupon Honey varietals. We get notes similar to White Pear, fresh slices of Honeycrisp Apples, Orange Blossom tea, and fresh open fields in the Spring.

“Only For My Dopest Friends” is a 5.2% ABV Sparkling Session Mead utilizing Orange Blossom and Sesame Honey varietals. We get notes of fresh-pressed Red Delicious Apples, those little Strawberry candies, a hand-smack of Pineapple Sage, and a dash of White Pear.

Both of these are available in a mixed-4pk, so you can compare and contrast. Say it with us now... “LEARNING IS FUN, DAMMIT!”

AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR NC SHIPPING, LOCAL PICK-UP, AND ON DRAFT AND IN CANS IN THE TAPROOM TODAY!
