It's finally here and everything you've been hoping for is not only delivered but exceeds every expectation I could have come up with! Four Saints Brewing Company is Randolph County's first brewery, which is a big step for the area considering that the county was dry until 2008. The brewery has faced many hurdles renovating and moving equipment into their 100+ year old building, but fortunately was able to open their doors just two weeks ago. Four Saints is the brainchild of Joel and Andrew, who started out as homebrewers. The brewery is named after the four patron saints of brewing, who are featured inside the taproom. Housed in a former car dealership, the taproom contrasts between wood, concrete, and brick, giving the interior a modern and warm feeling. Four Saints is a brewery and taproom only, which means you'll need to make plans if you are looking for a full meal. The taproom offers up Chad's Carolina Corn and other small snacks, and a 10% discount of delivery is available from Times Square Pizzeria next door.
In their first month, Four Saints has these six beers on tap:
1. Omie Blond Ale
2. Hefeweizen
3. Bitter Brothers ESB
4. Potter's Clay Amber Ale
5. Genesis Belgian Dubbel
6. Stout One Stout
Four Saints is also working on several seasonals, including a peach hefeweizen and a DIPA. On my first visit I tried the hefeweizen and their stout. The hefeweizen is exactly what you should expect from a hefeweizen. Many breweries get it wrong, but at Four Saints it shows its strong clove flavors without being bitter. It's the perfect drink for sipping outside on a hot summer day. Four Saint's Stout One is officially billed as an oatmeal stout in style. The taste of coffee and chocolate are immediate and fragrant, making it one of the best oatmeal stouts in the Triad. If you are short on time, the brewery fills growlers from $10-$20, depending on the beer style. I cannot endorse this brewery enough. Between the location, interior feeling, friendly staff, and high quality beers, I honestly have a hard time believing that I am in Asheboro when visiting Four Saints. This is a good thing, as Joel and Andrew are in good company among other pioneers who are reshaping the culture of this town into something uniquely different.
