Label Text Burial Beer Of Paradise and Pearly Shells:

“I grasp at the grain of materiality. Before it erodes entirely. Spiraling into non-sequitur and logical fallacy. We were promised utopia. But all that remains is this throne of ruin. A Double India Pale Ale dreamt up with our pals at Human People Beer. Mashed with oats and wheat. Whirlpooled with Motueka, Citra Cryo, and Citra Incognito. Double Dry-Hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Citra Cryo.”

Label Text Burial Beer Guided by the Burning Pyres:

“A hymn to ruin and renewal. Each flicker offers a path forward. Each ember of whispered promise that nothing truly ends. Decay is but a beautiful transformation. We crafted this New Zealand-style Pils with the cold fermentation masters at Wayfinder. Mashed with pilsner malt. Dry-hopped with Krush and a finishing touch of Motueka Cryo.”

Label text Burial Beer A Trail of Uncertain Fortune:

“Bourbon and Rye barrel-aged imperial stout with Burial Impermanence Coffee, Methodical Oscuro Coffee, French Broad Chocolate cocoa nibs, and cream-washed Ugandan and Madagascar vanilla beans.”

About Burial Beer:

The products and experiences that we dream up for you are meant to enhance connection and stimulate thought. This life isn’t long – so you can be damn sure we’ll make our time count.

Burial Beer Co. was dreamt up in Seattle by friends Tim Gormley and Doug and Jess Reiser. The three dove deep into the craft beer scene during their time in the PNW, which ultimately led to the decision to open their own brewery.

The name Burial and the brand that the company embodies was deeply inspired by the city of New Orleans, where Doug and Jess had lived prior to their time in Seattle. In NOLA, there’s a strong culture of celebrating life. Funeral processions become large parades with instruments, singing, and dancing. Everybody stops and joins in, even if they don’t know the deceased. We view our products, places, and experiences through this very lens, celebrating life’s fleeting moments with mindfulness and introspection.

The search for the perfect location ended when they found Asheville, NC. The three moved across the country in 2012, found an old transmission shop that would eventually become the original brewery and taproom, and opened their doors to the public in 2013 with a 1-barrel system in AVL’s South Slope District.

Burial Beer Co. is a brewery based in Asheville, North Carolina that produces a variety of beers, including IPAs, stouts, and other styles. The brewery’s name and brand are inspired by the New Orleans jazz funeral tradition of celebrating life while honoring the dead.
