WE ARE NOT KIDDING. YOU MUST OBEY THE FLUFF!
Our newest collab is with our favorite folks from the Bull City @glassjug . With their help, we are thrilled to OBEY the next iteration of our experimental Fluffy IPA. ATTN: DURHAM FRIENDS! We'll be at the Glass Jug downtown THIS Friday for a tap takeover and FLUFFY release. Check out our @dssolvr_taproom post for more info.

“OBEY THE FLUFF” was mashed with @riverbendmalt 2-Row, Red Wheat, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat, Raw Wheat, and a kiss of Dextrin Malt, then hit hard with Citra in the Whirlpool. Fermented low and slow with our House IPA yeast. Dry hopped with Sabro, then dry hopped again with Galaxy. Conditioned on an absurd amount of Madagascar Vanilla and Marshmallow. Spunded for dat natural carb.

Notes of Vanilla Soft Serve covered in Coconut-Pineapple whipped cream, a whole tin of fruity Zebra Stripe gum at once, and hollowed out Coconuts filled to the brim with Pineapple Jell-o and fresh Mango. It’s big, full, soft, sweet, and decadent. And Double-dry-hopped. So, uh...yeah… OBEY THE FLUFF!

“The Hustle is Broken” is our next foray into the fray of West Coast IPA.

Mashed with @riverbendmalt 2-Row, Red Wheat, a touch of Crystal malt, and just a kiss of Dextrin malt. Hit HARD on the hot side with Michigan Centennial and Mosaic, fermented low and slow with our Pub Ale yeast and spunded for dat natural carb. Dry hopped singularly and aggressively with Cascade, Mosaic, and Centennial Cryo.

Notes of Grapefruit pith in a coniferous forest, Blueberry muffins in the shade, shredding some gnar after a good spliff, and that first righteous pint of Torpedo you had from way back when.

It is clear, it is malty, it is orange, it is bitter, it is dry, and it is dank. Hell yeah. Shred that gnar gnar.

Shoutout to @jadeolantern for the spectacularly spooky label!

It’s no secret that the DSSOLVR Crew loves the Orange State and that’s why we are SO PUMPED TO HIT YOU WITH TWO FLORIDA COLLABS TODAY!

FIRST WE HAVE “Imperfect Clones” is an Extra Special Bitter brewed up in collaboration with the sweethearts at @oddcolonybrewing. We’ve known @brettschweigert for some time now, and knew that we shared an affinity for lil’ Pub Ales, so this was a total no-brainer.

Mashed with a simple grist of Riverbend Southern Select and a kiss of light Crystal malt, and then pummeled with Challenger hops before fermenting out with our Pub Ale yeast, spunding for 100% natural carbonation, and then chilled to perfection. AND because it’s a Pub Ale we’ll have it on Cask here, all warm, flat-like, and perfect, but you can also find it around town on and take it on the go!

We experience a Bran muffin with a pinch of unsweetened Orange Marmalade, a spot of Black Tea, a lovely dew-soaked walk in the woods, and slamming a few pints at the DSSOLVR bar.

OUR Second Florida collab is making us blue again!
When we made our last Blue Raspberry Hard Seltzer, we just so happened to release it at the same time as the wild folks at @wovenwaterbrewing dropped theirs. We struck up a friendly chat via the internets, swapped some cans, and decided we should combine forces on yet another Blue Raspberry Hard Seltzer.

“See Us in the Mountains” is a 4% ABV Blue Raspberry Candy Hard Seltzer. We took techniques from both breweries, dropped the ABV and sour levels to increase overall crushability. Fermented with just an unbelievable amount of Blue Raspberry candy, and one giant decapitated Blue Raspberry Gummy Bear. It really was a 5 pound huge Gummy Bear!

We experience some melted Blue Raspberry Slushee while it’s still got some carbonation bite to it, Blue Raspberry Dum Dums, and biting into a gigantic Blue Raspberry Gummy Bear. Dangerously drinkable, and a bit more approachable than our last Blue Raspberry Seltzer, Plus, at 4% ABV and a touch drier than last time, you’ll just about say “Oh, hey! This is cooler than before! Is this cooler? All I know is that I definitely need more!”

In our never ending quest for Lager perfection, we decided to take a stroll down a lane we have yet to travel down, and down that lane we found a cliff, and on that cliff we found...RICE LAGER!

“Formed on the Edge” mashed with @riverbendmalt Pale Pilsner and a blend of Flaked Rice, Brown Rice, and Toasted Flaked Rice, we then packed the hot side with Tettnanger and Perle. As always, fermented low and slow with our House Lager yeast, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and cold-conditioned for many moons in a Horizontal Lager Tank.

Notes of extra fresh Rice Cakes, a sip of bright herbal tea, the soft and undeniable bite of these colder late-Summer mornings, and full, yet crisp body, with a well-rounded bitterness, and that Chippy Boi™ finish we all know and love.

We’re very happy with this departure from our normal-ish Lager program, and this is just what we were shooting for. Crisp, crushable, and light, with an extra full-bodied bite from the Rice that immediately falls right off into an incredibly light finish. Get it, get it, y’all.

WHO STABBED ME WITH FLAVOR?! We’ve got a fresh @bhramari_brewingco collab for ya! “Forgotten Assassin” is an Imperial Fruited Sour Ale w/ Passionfruit, Raspberry, Vanilla, and Coconut, and was made in honor of their upcoming festival, “Above the Clouds”. This will be released FRIDAY for our Brewer’s Bash at the @dssolvr_taproom starting at 1:00. Be there for a dope food pop-up from our Bhramari friends, and some guest taps.

We took a base of @riverbendmalt 2-Row, a dash of Wheat, some Oats, kettle-soured it overnight, boiled it right up with a bit of Lactose, and fermented it low and slow with our House IPA yeast. We then conditioned it on a very large volume of Passionfruit, a dash of Raspberry, a few heaping mounds of Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Cream of Coconut, and finally a whole mess of Desiccated Macaroon Coconut...just for good measure.

Expect tropical breezes filled with Passion Fruit sweetness, bags and bags of Tropical Haribo Gummies, and a Vanilla Milkshake served up in a hollowed out Coconut. Bang bang, baby!

RELEASING FRIDAY! *****CONTAINS LACTOSE*****

MAKE SURE you find us at “ABOVE THE CLOUDS” on Saturday. TIX are still available through @get.oznr . Hit @bhramari_brewingco for more deets.

We’ve been embracing our inner dessert freaks for a while now, and the folks at @ology_brewing_co are some kindred spirits in that freakness. So we decided to collab and push a series we’ve been working on into the stratosphere.

“Fill Thy Sticky Bun Hole” is a Maple Pecan Cinnamon Bun Stout brewed with a base of @riverbendmalt Malt Southern Select and a whole bevy of Specialty Malts, then dosed with a veritable SHITLOAD of Pecans, Maple Syrup, a special blend of Cinnamons, Marshmallow, Vanilla Beans, and Vanilla Cake. Big and sweet, but very well balanced, and at 8% it’s not gonna totally destroy you.

We experience absolutely slamming Pecan Pralines down your gullet, hanging in the mall with your buds and sipping on a Barney’s Pecan Coffee while stuffing a Cinnabon roll in your face, a couple Maple candies in the afternoon, and probably some Cinnamon French Toast cereal after an early Fall hike.
*THIS BEER CONTAINS NUTS! SO MANY NUTS!*
Over 20# of freshly roasted Pecans per barrel of beer. That’s a shitload of Pecans.

Due to popular demand, “Pleasant Murmurs” is back. We also ramped it up AGAIN, modified our process, and it’s better than ever for all you goddamn Smoothie heathens.

“Pleasant Murmurs” was soured overnight in our kettle, fermented clean with our IPA yeast, then conditioned atop a massively stupid amount of Pineapple and Marshmallow.

Big, huge, face-pummeling notes of an XXL soft-serve Vanilla ice cream in a sugar cone that’s been absolutely smothered in grilled Pineapple and dipped in Marshmallow sauce. Toss up those feet, sit back, and transport yourself to a flavor oasis. This is probably the best batch so far, but who are we to say?

The first time we brewed this beer, it was our original foray into “smoothie” territory (and the Murmurs series will continue to be that way for us), and with each batch, we’ve tweaked a few things here and there to move into a comfortable spot with balancing all that character. This time, we just ramped the fruit volume to double the original amount. Fuck it, right?

TL;DR: the fruit is unfermented. We stabilized it to the best of our abilities, but with that in mind: PLEASE KEEP THIS COLD AND DRINK IT FRESH!

ONE DAY THESE GEARS WILL GRIND TO A HALT. UNTIL THEN, WE WILL HAVE NOTHING BUT THIS EVIL ENGINE.

“E v i l Ｅｎｇｉｎｅ” is a Strawberry Cheesecake Sour Ale. Mashed with a base of @riverbendmalt 2-Row along with Wheat, Flaked Oats, and a touch of Dextrin Malt. Soured overnight in our kettle, slathered in Lactose, fermented with our House IPA yeast and then refermented singularly with a whole mess of Strawberries before conditioning on a hint of fresh-ground Cinnamon and a tasteful amount of Cheesecake. We left out the Honey Malt this time and used a bit more fruit than normal to really get that fruit:cheesecake ratio right. Hope ya dig it. Or not. It’s whatever.

We experience a big ol’ slice of Cheesecake simply covered in Strawberry jam with a nice and light Cinnamon dusting, a delicious and quenching Friendly’s Strawberry Frappe, and exactly three pieces of dried Strawberry rehydrating in your mouth while you cut up a Cheesecake for your dinner guests that you really weren’t expecting to stay as long as they did, but now you’re all talking about politics and vaccines and your dessert breakaway is your only chance for sanity. You know the deal. It’s a dessert, but also a beer. No more rules. Bla bla bla.

***THIS CONTAINS LACTOSE, Y’ALL***

EVIL WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY for DRAFT, IN CANS, AND ON THE OLE’ WEB SHOP STARTING AT SOME POINT FOR PREORDER AND NC SHIPPING!

One of the first beers we brewed was a Hefe with our pals @residentculture . Sadly, that first batch had some fermentation issues, but later got re-brewed and released as “It’s Not Even Speltz Right”, a Hefe with Spelt rather than Wheat.

HOWEVER, rather than dumping that first batch, we racked it into a puncheon with our House Culture, along with Resident Culture’s! And, thus, “Speltz Wrong” was born. It sat for over 14 months before being packaged. Naturally conditioned in the bottle and keg for over 7 months with @walkerhoneyfarm Wildflower Honey and our House Mixed Culture. So its...a Mixed Culture Puncheon Fermented Mixed Culture Hefespeltzen...yeah...we know.

Notes of explosively ripe Peaches that just mush in your hand, Sour Strawberry candies, Pineapple skins dipped in Lime juice, Mystery-flavor Airheads, and a bit of Clementine pith. Big and malty, but also very dry, very tart, and very funky. If you’re familiar with our latest Mixed Culture offerings and those of Resident Culture, you can really pick out both of our house culture’s character and that’s super rad. It’s worth the ridiculously long style determination!

THE HEX IS NOW!!!! JOIN US AND BATTLE THE CURSE!

OUR WEAPONS OF CHOICE... first we have “MARVELOUS BEYOND REASON” Peach and Blackberry Fruited Gose, second “THE DARK SIDE OF HOPE” a DDH Hazy Wheat IPA collab with @chsfermentory , and the third is known only as “BELOW THE MURK” Candy Hard Seltzer. To get all that blood extra hot we will have Asheville’s favorite Head Brewer / DJ @brandonmanitoba firing up the JAMs. Worried your little tum-tums might not be able to handle all the hellish good times, well, don’t worry we got your sweet belly bottom hook-up with @honeybadgerbakes and his special 13th inspired menu. FUN STARTS AT 5PM

“Below the Murk” is a Sour Gummy Octopus Hard Seltzer. It tastes like candy. It is inexplicably PINK! SO FIGGIN’ PINK!

Fermented with just an unbelievable amount of Sour Gummy Octopus candies. Like, the most candy by volume we’ve thrown into anything thus far. So many candies. I’m having flashback horrors. We went a bit more dry on this one, in an effort to enhance drinkability and go for more of a Rose-style Seltzer, but...SURREAL.

We experience dried Cherry skins soaked in that knock-off Kool Aid you’d get in school, a hint of Blueberry Tea, and obviously a handful of mixed fruit Sour Gummy Octopus candies.

FINALLY! THE MARVELOUS DAY HAS COME AGAIN!

Please welcome back...our inaugural Fruited Gose...the one that started it all…”MARVELOUS BEYOND REASON”!!!!!!

We started with a simple grist of @riverbendmalt Pilsner, a touch of Wheat, and some Honey malt, along with a complex blend of Sea Salts and Coriander. We then conditioned it on a quarrelsome amount of Peach and Blackberry, giving it a truly exemplary rounded finish.

Notes include overripe berry compote, that first juicy Peach of the season, lunchboxes overfilled with fruit rolls, and just a hint of fresh-ground Coriander. All wrapped up in a pleasing balance of acidity and slight salinity on the finish. Oh, hell yeah, DAWG!

WE WILL SEE YOU TONIGHT AS YOUR ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED AND NON-NEGOTIABLE.
