Carolina Bauernhaus’ beers are all about creating a sense of place… and a taste of place! They use local, wild yeasts and locally sourced ingredients to create delicious, small-batch ales. And they seriously know what they’re doing. Co-founder David Thornton even taught a class at Clemson University called The Science of Beer! You can taste all that expertise in their funky, wild, and fruity brews like the U.S. Open Beer Championships Gold Medal-winning Whiskey Sour Wild Ale. It’s aged in local spirits barrels with lemons and limes for a super citrusy sip. Or 18 Mile Flanders Red Ale, made with locally grown heirloom malts. And if you can find it, try anything from Carolina Bauernhaus’ Source Series. Like the GABF Gold Medal-winning Optunia Farmhouse Saison. Hype: This crew is so beloved, they had to open a second location in their home state!
