"The Durhamer Ale—made with Durham water from the county’s Lake Michie reservoir, local malt from Durham’s Epiphany Malting, North Carolina-grown hops and ale yeast—is available when brewers decide to make it. The beer’s chestnut brown “Burley” color is a nod to the city’s tobacco history, while its taste recalls Southern biscuits flavored with a hint of the sweet, Southern iced tea."
