Although named as a Halloween seasonal, Zombie’s refreshing taste makes it a year round staple. It is brewed according to the Belgian Witbier tradition of using unmalted wheat to create the light body and white sheen. Additions of coriander and orange peel give it a fruity and spicy character, while the hops are subtle and lightly detected. Don’t be scared to blow the head off a Zombie and drink up! Read Less

This award-winning recipe traces its roots to the old Cottonwood Brewery in Boone, NC, where head brewer, Don Richardson, perfected his spiced pumpkin ale in 1997. A few years later after Cottonwood had sold, Don generously agreed to lend his pumpkin beer recipe to his good friend, Scott Pyatt, Co-Owner of Catawba Brewing. Catawba has continued to faithfully reproduce the beer as an annual limited release, under the “King Don’s” name to honor its original brewer.

King Don’s is deep orange in color, and uses five separate barley varieties, fresh pumpkin, and an assortment of spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, clove, nutmeg) to create its complex flavor profile. Drinks like pumpkin pie in a glass! Read Less

The kayaking dictionary defines the term “boot” as “to leave one’s overturned boat and swim away to safety”. Those grand exits are often celebrated with the paddler consuming a beer served from their own whitewater shoe. In Western NC, consumption of the “Bootie Beer” has become an respected ritual. Catawba Brewing Co. teamed up with Asheville’s own Astral Designs, manufacturers of the market’s finest whitewater paddling shoes, to honor tradition via the Astral Bootie Beer. This sessionable, 4.5% ABV Pale Ale is meticulously cobbled together from three different malt varieties for body, and Citra and Amarillo hops for bright tropical and stone fruit flavors and aromas.

Our Horchata White Ale was crafted as an homage to the famous drink of taquerias across Latin America — and envisioned as the perfect beer pairing for tacos. It also happens that Taco is the name of our Sales Manager’s cat. So, when it came time to name the beer, the idea of a “taco beer” and Taco the Cat naturally aligned. That’s him on the label with the piercing green eyes, dressed in his finest charro suit.

El Gato incorporates all the traditional Horchata ingredients into a wheat ale base – along with a healthy dose of milk sugar. An addition of rice in the grain bill lightens the body for excellent drinkability, without sacrificing its creamy mouthfeel. The beer features an enticing aroma of freshly baked cinnamon roll. It pours a milky straw color, and finishes with just the right blend of vanilla sweetness and a touch of spice. Read Less
