Here's one of Raleigh's: at the Civil War's end, Thomas Briggs hid his money from Union troops by stuffing it into pipes which he buried underground. He later uncovered his riches and built a thriving hardware store in downtown Raleigh.
Now it's your turn to unearth a treasure trove of aromatics and flavors, including cocoa, creamed coffee, expresso, molasses, and a hint of blackberries. It's all balanced by a moderately high bitterness.
Hey Y'all! We are sharing our love of craft beer with the community we love. We combined a brewhouse, taproom, home-brew store, and commercial equipment sales division to create a veritable brewtopia here in Raleigh. Stop on by.
The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.

Brewer's Exegesis
Robust and bold, this ale is brewed with locally roasted coffee from Oak City Roasters, resulting in flavors of cocoa, creamed coffee, espresso, molasses, and dark fruit; a perfect everyday sipper for those colder evenings with friends.
