Saison
We rolled back the calendar to brew this beer. Like 150 years. This belgian farmouse ale was fermented without the modern convenience of temperature control which resulted in a perfect rendition of this style from 19th century belgium. Farmhouse ales were originally brewed to refresh the field workers during harvest season in Wallonia. Tart and sour notes dominate this light quenching ale.
Pisgah Oktoberfest
The Southeast’s first organic lager, Pisgah Oktoberfest leans more toward authentic German domestic versions of this seasonal favorite. Golden in color, the subtle malt body and rounded biscuit flavor set it apart from typical export and American versions. Using a special Bavarian lager yeast, Pisgah’s interpretation of this classic style is what you would find in a Munich bier garden this time of year.
Cosmos
Dark and mysterious, this Pisgah beer is a tribute to Belgian tradition and our homebrew roots. Combining the rich flavor of a Baltic Porter with the subtleness of a special Belgian yeast strain, the Cosmos is born.

Dancin’ Hobo
The Hobo is a creation is now 23 month in the works. This beer was first brewed incorporating orange peel and thyme. Next, we added some charred oak and champagne yeast.
