America’s Craft Lager Brewery is Second Oldest in North Carolina

Red Oak Brews according to the 1516 Bavarian Law of Purity:

……. Bavarian Malted Barley, Noble Aroma Hops, Weihenstephen Lager Yeast
……. We use approximately 4 gallons of water for a gallon of beer… many breweries use 10 to 12 gallons
……. Vapor Condenser, Energy Recovery, forces steam to heat cold filtered water for next brew
……. Before adding yeast, boiled wort is cooled to 36*… hot water stored for reuse.
