Cedric’s Beer is brewed by Biltmore Brewing Company. The estate owns the recipe and the brewing ingredients. We use an arrangement called alternative proprietorship to brew the beers at Highland Brewing Company’s facility in Asheville. Biltmore Brewing Company was established with the opening of Cedric’s Tavern in March 2010. The first release from Cedric’s Beers include a Pale Ale and Brown Ale. Cedric’s Beer Pale Ale boasts high-quality grain and English-variety hops. These elements give our fullbodied ale a delicate straw color with malt and fruit aromas. Less bitter than most pale ales, it still retains the characteristic lingering hop finish. Cedric’s Beer Brown Ale is big, friendly, and approachable. The deep russet-colored beer offers hints of caramel and roasted barley, with a nutty flavor produced by Victory malt. The crisp finish is marked by well-balanced hops. Bryan McIntosh, fellow craft beer enthusiast and manager of Cedric’s Tavern, led the style selection of these new brews.
