What's that commotion, you ask? Is it a mysterious creature lurking in the shadows? Is it the rumble of an approaching Balrog?! NOPE! It’s two sauced hobbits slamming down a second pint of "Beast Life" everyone's beloved, lauded, ONCE A YEAR SPOOKY-TIME TREAT WITH A SURPRISINGLY LARGE AND VOCAL CULT FOLLOWING THAT REMINDS US CRAFT B**R IS ALIVE AND WELL: Schwarzbier!

Spoiler: This is the exact same b**r as “Unknown Beast”, but with a new name and a new label to fall in-line with our new L***r branding. Fear not, we changed absolutely nothing about the liquid inside!

Our journey begins with a foundation of Chesapeake Pilsner, complemented by a blend of Specialty and Roasted Malts. We've infused it with Hallertauer Mittelfruh throughout the boil, and we've tossed in a generous helping of Perle in the Whirlpool. Our traditional German L***r treatment reigns supreme: a slow and cold fermentation, spunding for 100% natural carbonation, and a long slumber in a Horizontal L***ring Tank.

It all starts with tantalizing notes of roasty Cacao, sweet Hazelnut, toasted Wheat bread, and just a hint of those intriguing beans. Got me thinking about those beans...uh, right...then it wraps up with a clean, crisp, and dry finish, precisely as we intended. Don't let the dark appearance fool you; it's easily one of our favorite L***r offerings to date, maintaining the high level of crushability you've come to expect from our Chippy Boi™ L***r Program.

Join us for a taste of the "Beast Life" – it's a journey worth taking! 🍻👹

💀 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?

Available Friday 10/9 in cans and on draft in both AVL and DRM.

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. AND THEN WE CONDITIONED THAT ONE A TRULY STUPID AMOUNT OF FRESH AF APPLE C***R DONUTS STRAIGHT FROM Grandad's Apples!

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 b**r to date! The original batch of this b**r 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! AND THEN WE CONDITIONED IT ON A RATE OF ONE APPLE C***R DONUT PER BOTTLE! WHAT IS WRONG WTIH US?!

Behold, “Take Me Higher: Apple C***r Donut Edition” DOUBLE BARREL AGED BROWN SUGAR BARLEYWINE. This is a monster that is so much better than the sum of it’s parts.

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 C***r Donuts dusted with Brown Sugar and drizzled with Honey, and Apple Brandy soaked Plums. Hot damn. Now that’s a tasting note. Yep. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS DRENCHED IN APPLE C***R DONUT VIBES AND TASTES EXACTLY LIKE AN APPLE C***R DONUT DIPPED IN BARLEYWINE CUZ IT ESSENTIALLY IS!

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 , 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!

Available Friday 10/2 in AVL and DRM.

It’s BAAAaaaAAACK! Everyone’s favorite dank-meets-fruity extra-spooky DDH Hazy IPA, “Reapers and Creepers” is back and better than ever! As it goes with this one, we turned the fruity-tooty dial up even more and made some tweaks based on this past year’s learnings.

Mashed with a blend of Cumberland Pils and Czech Pils, Oat Malt, and their Chit, along with a heavy dose of Flaked Oats. We hit it in the Whirlpool with some extra choice Egger’s Nelson Sauvin and a fat dose of Columbus Cryo. Fermented with our House IPA yeast, dry-hopped with a whole mess of Enigma, spunded for 100% natural carbonation, and finally double-dry-hopped with a murderous and violent amount of Egger’s Nelson Sauvin, Egger’s Motueka, and a very heavy dose of Nelson Sauvin Amplifire Oil for that tropical-citrus good-good dank-dank top note.

As always, we made a few small changes on the total hop combo, but kept the core blend very close to the same (Nelson, Columbus, Motueka, Enigma). Same b**r, but once again amplified way up. In case anyone cares, this is a favorite of ours to bring back BECAUSE of the complexity, and the changes we make to this always just push the brand forward while staying the same. Super duper fun from a production standpoint, and it’s always one of our more “dank” Juicy IPA offerings while still being a total juicebomb. Plus the freshened-up reaper graphic is sick AF.

A super silky body followed up with notes of fresh cantaloupe, melon rind, biting into a juicy pink starburst, and a whole mess of sticky-icky. Hell yeah, this baby rips!

Get spooked, y’all. Or don’t. No rules.

“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 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 fu**in’ 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!

“Furb-field” is BACK AND…are those Ugg Boots? Is that a crocheted beige scarf? OMG…IS IT FU**IN PSL SEASON?! SAY IT AIN’T SO, FURBFIELD!

Furbfield may be here to tell you that Mondays might suck, but PSL season is their favorite time of year and there’s no doubt about that. This is a collab we did with our besties Two Tides Brewing Company and , but retooled with the addition of MOTHERFU**IN BASIC-ASS PUMPKIN SPICE VIBES!

We wanted to come up with something that would highlight the brand of super tasty beans. We’ve long been fans of their kooky adjunct Coffees, and share a love of Long Furbies and a hatred of Mondays, so obviously a PSL Caramel Macchiato Brown Ale was born! Basic is cool again, ya fu**in nerds.

Mashed with a base of Riverbend Malt House Southern Select, Chesapeake Pilsner, Munich, and Crystal Malt, along with a heavy dose of Specialty Malts from overseas. Hopped gently in the Kettle, and then fermented with our House Ale yeast before being spunded for dat natural carbonation. We then conditioned this bad ditty on a great big pile of freshly-roasted Float Coffee beans, injected some house-made Float Coffee cold brew concentrate, a fat dose of Caramel, a veritable sandstorm of Pumpkin Spice, and a tasty little kiss of Vanilla.
We experience a big ol’ body that’s simultaneously thicc and balanced, huge waves of fresh-brewed Coffee, undeniable PSL energy, those little Caramel treats your Grandma used to just inexplicably have lying in a bowl in the living room, probably a Cow Tale candy or four, definitely a Caramel Macchiato on a Sunday morning, and most likely some big hugs from good friends while a creepy Garfield-Furbie hybrid monster decked out in a scarf and Ugg boots just chills out in the background.

“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 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 fu**in 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.

Behold, “Take Me Higher” DOUBLE BARREL AGED BROWN SUGAR BARLEYWINE. A legendary journey with our comrades at Corporate Ladder Brewing has brought us here! Together, we birthed a masterpiece, just like Creed 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.
