Year Round Offerings
Triangle Belgian-Style Strong Golden Ale
This strong golden ale measures in at 8% & showcases a variety of the ingredients and brewing methods that help differentiate Triangle beers. The Strong Golden is fermented at a higher temperature than our other beers adding an undercurrent of fruitiness (although there is no fruit in the beer). Very lightly filtered, the Golden exhibits complex mouthfeel, strong malt flavors, a spicy hop presence and soothing alcohol warmth, followed by a clean, dry finish. It is excellent with food as well as served by itself. Bronze Medal Winner at 2009 Carolina Championship of Beer.
Food pairings: Richer dishes, meats, cheeses, stews, smoked foods. As an after-dinner drink.
Triangle White Ale
Our interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer, Triangle White Ale is unique and truly refreshing. The style gets its name from the white, slightly cloudy appearance of this unfiltered wheat ale. Brewed with a generous amount of white and red wheat that is grown locally in Scotland County, NC, and our own special blend of organic spices, makes Triangle White Ale complex in flavor without being overpowering or cloying. Overall, it is a beer that is light, fruity and very drinkable during a hot summer day. 5% abv. Silver Medal winner at the 2010 Carolina Championship of Beer.
Food pairings: Great with seafood, shellfish, poultry. Peppery and tangy cheeses also work well with White Ales.
Triangle India Pale Ale
Formally, referred to as our (2nd Anniversary) 2.0 IPA and Revolution IPA. This IPA sparkles with effervescence and presents a floral, citrusy aroma and full hop flavor, while downplaying the bitterness and balancing out the malt. This beer has been specially dry hopped with 3 different hop varieties for a wonderful drinking experience. This IPA measures in at 5.7% abv.
Food pairings; As a pre-dinner drink (hops are a great appetite stimulant), heartier fare, spicy foods, pizza, pub grub.
