💀 EVEN MORE MOTHERF*&#’N SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERF^#*’N CAN?! 🐍

Riffing off the success of “Purp Purp Lemonade”, we retooled the base and came up with a fun twist, so please welcome “Scary Berry Limeade”, a Blacberry-Lime-Vanilla Gluten Free Sour to the lineup! We swapped the Lemon component of Purp out for Lime and added Vanilla, because why not?! THAT’s RIGHT!!! The same Citrus-Berry energy, but with even more scaries!

Made with a totally radical blend of Blackberry, Raspberry, Limes, Vanilla…and Purple? It is here to take your taste buds by the hand and help them board a flight straight to Halloweentown (no relation to the Disney IP, legally speaking).

Remember those Hard Limeade bottles in your parents’ fridge as a kid? Like the ones you accidentally grabbed, thinking it was Lemonade and then got a pleasant surprise? Pretty much this is that, but with some amped up Mixed Berry character and a smoothing note of Vanilla. Yep. The style description is pretty accurate. It's a Fruity Hard Limeade Soda-Style.. What more do you need?

What’s more spooky than a cemetery filled with undead pets coming back to life to torment the living hell out a small mountain town up in Maine? According to our Sales team and most of the market data, the prospect of releasing a clean, fruited Saison in 2026 is equally as scary. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE DSSOLVR SURREAL & SPOOKY SPIN ON ‘EM! Believe it or not, we have never made a “Clean” Saison before at DSSOLVR, so this is a new foray for us!

We humbly release unto the public, “A Nice Farm Upstate: Peach & Apricot”, hopefully the first in a series of Fruited Saisons. So, uh, yeah, it’s a Fruited Saison w/ Peach and Apricot.

We summoned a symphony of Malts from @Riverbendmalt, and brought in a new-to-us Saison yeast to lead the way. Gently hopped in the boil, fermented to total dryness, and then spunded and refermented under pressure on a boatload of Peach and Apricot for natural carbonation and a pleasant fruitiness.

A touch of Malt complexity to build some body, super vibrant phenols, and a pile of fresh and bright Apricots and Peaches. A very exciting first foray into the world of clean, not-funky, not-sour, not-mixed-culture Saison for the DSSOLVR crew. We hope ya dig it so we can revisit this style again soon!

“APPLE ATCHA” IS BACK!!!! The last few batches sold out insanely fast both here and in the UK, so we knew we had to bring it back! Seriously, the feedback and sales throughput on this was INSANE with every release, so we scaled it up and hope we made enough this time! AND IT’S THE BEST BATCH YET, FOR REAL!

Dreamed up with our karaoke brethren @northernmonkbrewing and honed in by our cellar team for this second batch even more. Representing Appalachia, we wanted to recreate a timeless local dessert: The Apple Stack, a cost-effective replacement for a wedding cake capable of rough transport over long distances. Typically comprised of multiple thin layers of Cake, separated by Spiced Apple Butter, and sometimes drizzled with Molasses, Sorghum, or Caramel if you were fancy like that. So we shot a few ideas back and forth on how to recreate this beast, and honestly, the team fuckin’ crushed it.

So yeah, this is exactly what it is described to be: A liquid version of a celebratory fresh-out-the-oven Apple Cake, drizzled in molten Caramel and Brown Sugar, absolutely DUSTED with Cinnamon, and JUUUUUUST enough Nutmeg to bring it all together.

We love this place we call home, we love this idea and project as a whole, and we’re so so so stoked to share it with y’all!

Relax and allow yourself to be enveloped by the awe of Crab Rangoon. In this tranquil space, let us embark on a journey within, a journey towards the light.

"CRAB RANGOON" our smash-hit Gluten-Free Fruited Cheesecake Sour is back! As always when revisiting an old recipe, we re-tooled this banger in the hopes of making the whole thing pop just that much more, and sure enough: THE RIFF ROLLS ON!!! Surrender to the exhilaration of THE CRAB, as we unleash this bold creation that is as insane as it is delicious!

This mind-bending bevvy was conditioned on a tidal wave of Peach, Apricot, Pineapple, Orange, Tangerine, and Cheesecake. We heard y’all loud and clear, so we done gone and left the Lactose out!

Inspired by the beloved little appetizer, our "CRAB RANGOON" boasts the same delightful flavors, minus the crab, of course. Dive into delightful waves of fruity Apricot and Peach, with a big ol’ wave of tropical twist and the perfect balance of sweet and sour. And don't forget... THE POWER OF THE CHEESECAKE! It's like a sweet cream cheese explosion in every sip.

ABSOLUTELY NO GLUTEN IN THIS BEAST!

We continually hope it goes without saying, but positively zero crabs or shellfish were used!

“Cosmic Cradle” is our Fresh Hop American IPA conjured up as a tribute to the timely fresh-hop Centennial-focused American IPA made by a famous brewery out of Chico and Asheville that gets a lot of CELEBRATING. Okay, do you get the subtle reference?

Mashed with our typical base of @Riverbend Chesapeake Pilsner, Cumberland Pilsner, and Chit Malt, along with a smaller percentage of Double Roasted Crystal Malt to add some mid-palate Malt complexity and compliment the sticky-dankness we all know and love in American IPA.

We figured the OG recipe was slathered in Centennial, so we hit it HARD on the hot side with Columbus in the boil and Centennial AND Centennial NUVO CGX Fresh Hop pellets in the Whirlpool, as well as a hefty Hot Dip of Centennial Dynaboost in the Fermenter. Fermented low and slow and spunded for dat natural carb. Dry hopped once, but rather aggressively with Cascade, Columbus, even more Centennial NUVO CGX Fresh Hop pellets, and a fat dab of Columbus Cryo.

Similar to literally biting into a torpedo of Citrus, a sticky-icky amount of coniferous flora steeped in a pool of zest, fresh Clementine wedges dipped in a light Caramel, the dankness of a freshly-mown field, and that first righteous pint of Celebration you had from way back when.

Damn. Seriously, this really fuckin rips. Toeing the line deftly between old-school and new-school American IPA, we honestly think we did the GOAT justice. We hope you can celebrate this one as much as we do!

This is clear, it is SLIGHTLY Malt-forward, it is very citrusy, it is a beautiful Orange hue, it is bitter, it is dry, and it is resinous Hell yeah. Shred that gnar gnar. Celebrate your friends and family in this new year.

MANY MOONS AGO, WE TOOK YOU HIGHER! AND TODAY, WE GO EVEN HIGHER THAN HOW HIGH WE TOOK YOU THE LAST TIME! “Take Me Higher”, our Double Barrel Brown Sugar Barleywine, IS BACK WITH FERVOR! Honestly, this may be our best BA offering to date and I don’t say that lightly.

We went high at first with the BA “Buy High, Sell High”, then we went high again the the Double Barrel original batch of “Take Me Higher”, but now…hold on to your fedoras for a new age of Barleywine Bliss…ONCE AGAIN! We are reaching through the clouds with our most extensively barrel-aged beer to date! The original batch of this beer had a combined 40 months in wood, but THIS BATCH has surpassed that limit once more with a combined 58 months in wood! WOWIE ZOWIE!

Behold, “Take Me Higher” DOUBLE BARREL AGED BROWN SUGAR BARLEYWINE. A legendary journey with our comrades at @corporateladderbrewing has brought us here! Together, we birthed a masterpiece, just like @officialcreedpage with the 1999 hit song of the same title.

We summoned a symphony of Riverbend malts, including the mystical Munich Oats, and let our House Pub yeast lead the way. Brown Sugar swirled in the boil, infusing every drop with its essence. Based on the last iteration, we decided to start in Apple Brandy and then finish in more mature Bourbon Barrels. So we began the journey wherein we entrusted our child to the housing of freshly-dumped Apple Brandy Barrels, where it matured for 34 months. Then BOOM, we took that bad lil’ ditty and doubled down in some 16yr Henry McKenna Bourbon Barrels for another 34 months. Yah, that’s 58 months! I checked the math myself!

Huge tidal waves of full and luscious Malt complexity, Oaky Vanilla tannins, mounds of fresh Apple Cider Donuts dusted with Brown Sugar and drizzled with Honey, and Apple Brandy soaked Plums. Hot damn. Now that’s a tasting note. Yep. Annnnnnd keep your eyes peeled for a special adjunct variant in the coming weeks. Did someone say “Apple Cider Donuts”?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a very loose reference to the most OG of Vampire Lords?

Our newest DDH IPA is here! And it’s a mouthful! And a tongue twister! “Mos-Tra-Nel-Sim” is an ode to the classic hops that kick-started our love for Hazy IPA: Mosaic, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Simcoe. This is actually a really amped up version of an IPA I’ve been making for over a decade (omg, I’m old), and I’m genuinely really excited to bring this BACK to life for y’all. Get the reference? Cuz like, these hops never die and just continue to haunt us for years? And cuz Nosferatu is cool? Right? Whatever…I made the beer so I get to make the rules.

Mashed with @Riverbend Cumberland Pils and Czech Pils for an extra-pale base, then layered up with the fluffy combo of Appalachian Wheat, Chit Malt, and Flaked Oats. We even boiled it for extra time just to get some Kettle Caramelization and mimic the orange hue of Hazy IPAs from years past without the need for Crystal Malt. We hit it in the Whirlpool with Nelson Sauvin AND Simcoe Cryo, on top of a Hot Dip in the FV with Citra Incognito. Fermented with our House Hazy IPA yeast, dry-hopped first with a very large charge of even more Simcoe, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and then double-dry-hopped with a haunting amount of Nelson Sauvin Amplifire Pellets, more Nelson Sauvin, and a very heavy dose of Mosaic Liquid Lupulin.

Going back into my oldest brew logs from the beginning of my career and bringing out old hop bills was super nostalgic for me, and I really hope you enjoy this one as much as we do. Plus, it’s just fun to let yourself dive back in time and reminisce about just how far Hazy IPA has come.

A super fluffy body, an experience akin to opening a fresh jug of Sunny D, a glass of Sauv Blanc with some frozen Blueberry floaters, Orange and Pink Starburst at the same time, that first Peach of the season, a teensy kiss of resinous goodness, and just an overwhelming waft of that first wave of new school Hop “Citrus-meets-Stonefruit Hoppy character”. Damn. This is so good you’ll wanna suck IT’S blood versus the other way around!

After a 6-month hiatus…yes, a SIX MONTH HIATUS…PB&J Cheesecake is BACK, y’all! Yes, the Cheesecake one. We heard y’all loud and clear!

Our gluten-free sour collab with @xulbeer is what happens when peanuts, a mountain of Concord grape, and an absurdly creamy cheesecake swirl join forces. Picture an Uncrustable that ran off to Vegas with a cheesecake… it’s basically in a can.

Available now for presale on our webshop! Snag it on draft and in cans in AVL and DRM on Friday 9/11. Grab it while you can, or risk serious FOMOOPB&JB (Fear Of Missing Out On PB&J Bliss)!

And just in case the PB&J Bliss wasn’t enough… A few weeks back, we had PB&J day with some specialty flights, food specials, and two special PBJ Variants. Well, we heard the screams and we brought back PB&J: Banana Nut (½ dose of Grape, full dose of Banana, 2x dose of Peanuts…shit is wild) in cans and on draft! TAPROOM ONLY!
