Ryed or Die
Ryed or Die has enough rye malt to not leave a question if this is a Rye IPA. The traditional grainy spiciness of rye contrasted with a mix of Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Simcoe Hops creates the perfect combination of light bitterness, hop aroma, and smooth mouthfeel. Share a pint with your own ‘Ride or...

Darker Brews
Beers with a maltier backbone
Bosom Buddies – New Release!
‘Bosom Buddies’ was brewed in collaboration with Nanci Nix and enhanced with Nanci’s own amaretto extract.

Beers are always better when hanging out together! A good buddy is always a plus and Hogan’s Brew is an homage to a “very good boy”. Hogan, was always a great homebrew companion to Mark on many weekend brewing days. Cheers to Hogan!
Dark Horse
An Imperial Stout that we aged for 6 months in freshly emptied Belle Meade Bourbon barrels. Deep bitter sweet chocolate as it warms, lending to a subtle bourbon barrel finish. Thicc and Rich!! This is a great beer to drink during the colder months or for that matter, any time of the year.

Our “baby stout”, Upright Hermit is an easy drinking low abv stout packed with deep roasted and chocolate flavors with a dry finish. We love dark beers and Irish traditions here at Athentic, so we keep this beer on all year round.
Brewers Brunch by Athentic
Athentic’s Brewer’s Brunch is a Pastry Stout inspired by the classic Mexican hot chocolate. It’s got a harmonious profile of cinnamon and chocolate that’s contrasted with spicy peppers (grown by Athentic’s very own Head Brewer, Derek).
