Our Brews

This is what we think a Premium American Lager should be. We sourced all of our malt from our friends at Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC for this 100% barley lager. This beer is clear, crisp and very easy drinking. Whether you’re getting done with a long day on the trails or the slopes this beer will be the refreshment you deserve after earning those turns.

This lager is bursting with tropical fruit flavors. We use some fruity hops in this crisp delicious lager, but what really shines through is the tea. We infuse this beer with a tropical green tea that is bursting with pineapple, papaya and guava flavors.

A light and refreshing ale. This beer has a little more body and fruity hop flavor than our Beech Lager. That flavor comes along with our lightest ABV beer, so those seeking the benefits of a refreshing beverage without the potential consequences should look no further.

We add tangerine to a delicious American Wheat Ale, but we don’t stop there. Our brewers dutifully take the time to zest copious amounts of oranges, grapefruits and lemons so this beer will be bursting with citrus fruit flavors.

This easy drinking blonde ale is fruited with mango and tangerine to give it a nice subtle fruity flavor. This is a very approachable summer beer that is best enjoyed on the deck with friends.

This is our Downhill IPA aged for four months on a wild yeast strain. The super funky flavors and aromas blend well with the fruity nature of the hops. This is a beer you’ll just have to try.

We worked with our local friends at Riverbend Malt House to create this complex Saison. With local barley, wheat and rye malts we created a wonderful base for our French yeast strain to work it’s magic. We lightly dry-hopped this beer to add a wonderful twist to this classic beer style.

5506′ is more than just the peak elevation here on Beech Mountain, and certainly more than the name of 5506′ Sky Bar, which boast as the highest ski bar east of the Mississippi. A well balanced pale ale, copper in color, with hoppy notes that will lift you to new heights. We hope you will come elevate yourself and see how much fun it is at the top!

This hazy pale ale is packed full of bright citrusy hops. With a light malt background and subtle fruity finish this beer is like sunshine in a glass.

One of our most popular beers, this one was designed with the hop lover in mind. We keep the malt profile light to allow the hops to shine through. We selected some of the most vibrant citrus and tropical hops we could find. The bitterness is subdued but the flavor isn’t. We hold off adding hops until later in the process to allow more of the flavor and aroma to come through to your glass. This double dry-hopped beer is sure to please the hazy IPA lovers out there.

Cold IPA refers to an IPA fermented with a lager yeast instead of the usual ale strain. This creates a beer with all of the usual great hoppy flavors of an IPA, but with a light body and crisp finish. “OBS” refers to our Open Bag Special. We took several different varietals of hops from our other beers and combined them into one special batch. Enjoy it while it lasts!

This style is one of the newest trends in the craft brewing industry. While not your standard pilsner, this beer is made with 100% pilsner malt and lagered to create a clear body and crisp finish. The departure from the norm is due to using copious amounts of “new world” hops and a higher alcohol content. This beer is also dry-hopped to provide the flavor you would expect from an IPA, but in an easier drinking format.

We added over 1lb/gallon of mangos and a healthy dose of habanero peppers to give this beer a unique taste. The mango fruit flavor dominates the profile with a nice subtle hint of fresh peppers followed by the heat from the habaneros. This is a beer you’ll just have to try.

This American style Amber is easy drinking and well balanced. We designed this beer to be complimentary so the malt and hops work together without overpowering the other. Each taste gets a little bit better than the last. If you find your glass empty, just ask for another!

This beer exhibits malty goodness paired with a hop presence to keep the balancing act going from start to finish. Almost as if these characteristics are being juggled on your palate in such a way that you can only taste the flavors independently for one moment before the flavor seems to transition. Many beers are able to juggle this balance for a moment, but this beer truly is a “Juggler By Trade”

At Beech Mountain we are very thankful for our Patrollers. We use a combination of malts to create a dark beer with just the right amount of roasted notes without being too bitter. The result is a dark beer that will satisfy the palate of any dark beer connoisseur.
