The Charleston ales take their name from the South Carolinian port where the English first introduced their ales to the Carolinas. Johns Pale Ale is brewed with Galena, Willamette, Mt. Hood, and Cascade hops, and a combination of Crystal 20, Crystal 40, Munich, and 2-row pale malts. Right before you take your first, note the wonderful Cascade hop aroma that screams from this tasty ale. Look for a well balanced malt-hop profile in the flavor and a...

If you like big malty sweet ales, youre gonna love the Charleston Brown Ale! Look for a dark caramel and chocolate malt aroma in this dark amber, almost brown colored English style ale. Note a dominating dark caramel maltiness as well as roasted chocolate malts in the finish.

Ybor Gold is an Amber lager, brewed with a combination of 2-row pale, caramel 40, and carapils malts, and hopped with both Northern Brewer and German Hallertau hops. We found it true-to-style, finding the nose slightly malty and offering a bit of h...

Sort of an unusual name for a beer, but its workin for us! We think that Turbodog most likely gets its name as this big dog packs a bit more of a punch than the rest of the brewerys lineup at 6% ABV. This puppy is brewed with Chinook and Willamette hops, and a combination of British Pale, Caramel, and Chocolate malts, a combination that gives this full-bodied pooch a rich body and dark color. Look for a sweet malty (and wet) nose followed by a sw...
