11/7/2019 -- Catawba Charlotte Releases Black Sheep Maple Pecan Stout for International Stout Day

Catawba Brewing releases Small Batch collaboration dessert stout, now pouring in tasting rooms.

This unique collaboration beer was conceived in the build-up to Catawba's 20th anniversary celebration in July. The evening began as an advance preview of birthday beer releases for a group of Charlotte's leading food and beverage writers. Then with the help of some liquid inspiration, it evolved into a brainstorming session for a future Small Batch release. The beer name, Black Sheep, was chosen as a clever twist on the family reunion theme of the anniversary party. The beer itself is a tribute to creativity and new friends, as Catawba brewers embraced the challenge of translating the flavors of a particularly memorable piece of chocolate-maple-pecan pie into this new dessert stout.

Sensory: Dark chocolate, espresso, sweet maple cream, caramel, toasted nuts. Full-bodied and rich with a silky-smooth finish.

Fundraiser: $1 per pint will be donated to The Pisgah Conservancy for 4 weeks after the release!
