Rufus Reserve Series
Imperial Amber
This strong amber ale (8.2%abv) has a strong malt presence that holds this brew together. IBUs of around 90 balance the brew which is dry hopped to add an invigorating citrus and floral aroma that lingers to the end while complementing all that malt. It is excellent with food as well as served by itself or in the company of a fine cigar. Silver Medal Winner at 2009 and 2010 Carolina Championship of Beer.Food pairings: Best as a pre-dinner drink (hops are a great appetite stimulant), heartier fare, spicy foods, pizza, pub grub or as an after dinner drink enjoyed with a cigar.
India Pale Ale (100th Batch IPA)
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there's a floral and citrus hop finish. It's then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American grown malts to balance the large amount of hops. The IPA also uses six hop varieties at three different times and measures in at 6.7%abv.Food pairings; As a pre-dinner drink (hops are a great appetite stimulant), heartier fare, spicy foods, pizza, pub grub.

Belgian-style Lambic
Triangle Belgian- Style Lambic is a crisp and tart refreshing beer that draws its flavor from the unique fermentation character imparted by the yeast in the primary fermentation. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness while the yeast fermentation also creates a sourness on the sides of the palate, reminiscent of a traditional lambic style. That sourness, is combined with a subtle cereal note from the malted wheat and is perfect for our hot Carolina days. 5.1%abv. 2011 Silver Medal at the Carolina Championship of Beer.Food Pairings: Roasted Turkey or Chicken with all of the Turkey day trimmings.
