Our Beers
Our inspiration comes from the pastoral landscapes of Western North Carolina, the cozy corners of English pubs and the bustling service of European cafes
Whaley Farm Brewery features Appalachian-sourced farm beers brewed in a seven-barrel, two-vessel system right here in Old Fort. Our love for the English pub experience will be poured through our two Angram beer engines, and our devotion to continental lagers will pour through our Lukr side-pull faucets. We cannot wait to pour you a pint!
What’s Pouring?

We are currently offering 32 oz and 64 oz growler fills of everything but our cask offerings and the Fonio or Yarrow Wild.
In Cask (Hand-pulled)
These beers are naturally conditioned/carbonated in the cask and hand-pulled through our beer engines to present a softer carbonation. The traditional method of dispense of “real ale” in the U.K. Served at 50F. Sorry, no growlers…
