Hello
from Mackenzie
If you know me, you likely know that I’m a big beer drinker.
If you don’t know me, well, it wouldn’t take long to figure it out.

But, it wasn’t always that way. I hated beer for a while. I think I tried it for the first time in high
school – a Busch Light at my friend Ali’s house – and I remember thinking it was just about the
worst thing I ever tasted.

I spent the next, I don’t know, say, three years of my life, talking about how crappy beer was and
I didn’t understand how people drank it. I drank Mike’s Hard Lemonades. Strawberry Daiquiris
when I went to the islands with my parents. Now, the mere thought of those drinks make me
cringe. I came around eventually. I’m not sure how or when. Now, I find joy in the simplicity of an
ice cold craft beer.

But, like any good East Carolina student, I spent many days and nights coating my liver with $1
Bud Lights or a $15.99 case of Busch Light for a tailgate. Gosh, and now the thought of that makes
me cringe.

Needless to say, I am glad my taste buds have matured. (Well, sort of matured – anyone who knows me will likely find me drinking Miller
Lite, a college habit I couldn’t seem to break). But I also can be found enjoying a well-crafted beer from any of the impressive breweries
featured in this magazine.

So, if you see me out and about, come say hi. Let’s have a beer.

Cheers!

with dignit y:
Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
carves out niche for dark beer

By Mackenzie Tewksbury
Mixer Magazine

4 September | October 2018 Mixer

Paul Philippon isn’t trying to do
something new.
In fact, the brewmaster of Duck-Rab-
bit Craft Brewery in Farmville, said
it’s actually quite the opposite.
“We’re trying to make our
version of something old,”
Philippon said.
For 14 years, he and his
company have worked
hard to capture their
own interpretation
of a dark, English
style beer. And with
milk stouts, porters
and black ales on
draft and a wall full
of awards for many
of them, the company
has certainly seemed
to earn their title as “The
Dark Beer Specialist”
that’s marked on all their
labels.
The brewery first opened it’s
doors in August of 2004, mark-
ing 14 years of crafting beer for the
people of eastern North Carolina.
“We’re starting a dark beer only
brewery in rural eastern North Car-
olina; there’s a little bit of an uphill
battle there,” Philippon said.
Luckily, they won the battle, he said.
They were able to convince people
to not only buy full-flavored beer,
but their full-flavored beer. And
they did that by what Philippon
describes as working diligently be-
tween the interface of art and sci-
ence.
“The creative, culinary aspect is
enormously important. But, having
the foundation of science under-
standing that were not just making
dinner for our family tonight —
we’re making something that needs
to travel a long distance and still
taste right,” he said.
And much like Philippon himself,
his brewery’s marketing strategy
and beer itself plays on their motto:
“whimsy with dignity.”
“It’s gotta be playful. It’s gotta be
fun. But for Duck-Rabbit, there’s a
serious purpose. We don’t do any-
thing that we wouldn’t be happy

it’s people do more than that. They

“I think that’s kind of neat, and that’s
just Greenville. The johnny apple-
seed affect of Duck-Rabbit grows
past that. ” he said. “It makes me
proud. I like the fact that people can
move from here to sort of do some-
thing on their own.”
“It has never been our goal to be the
biggest. It has never been our goal
to be something for everyone. We
are carving out a niche within this
sector of craft beer.”

They have been creating something
more niche since they first opened
their doors in 2015 as the first pri-
vately owned brewery in Greenville.
And with locals — and tourists —
relaxing on the patio on any given
afternoon, the brewery seems to be
a local watering hole for new and
old friends alike, and those who

want to enjoy a different style of
craft beer.
“We kind of want to be like a neigh-
borhood pub, a peasant kind of
pub,” owner and head brewer
Grayson Williams said.
Williams has always liked beer —
first drinking cheap beers in col-
lege, then Samuel Adams and New
Belgium’s Fat Tire. He was working
at an event at the Greenville Con-
vention Center when a vendor left
behind a home-brewing magazine,
and it sparked his interest.
“I remember just looking at it and
being interested and wondering
what everything did,” he said. “That
pushed me into trying more beers.”
His journey into brewing began
soon after that. Williams once went
to a brewery in Portland, Maine
called Barreled Souls, and remem-
bers the beer’s distinct character.
He then decided to implement
part of their system into his own
beer-making. He uses American oak
barrels, ones you’d see now being
used for distilling whiskey, to add
a vanilla-like flavor to the beer. It’s
an old tradition in beer-making that
Williams wants to pay tribute to.
“We try to reuse our yeast. The
yeast gets pushed out of the barrel

 “We were brewing in plastic…we were getting it done,

during fermentation. We want to

keep reusing generations of yeast,
and essentially the yeast moving
out of the top of the barrel is cream
of the crop,” he said. “Reusing yeast
that way promotes a healthier beer.”
Williams didn’t know that this
oak-barrel style of beer was going
to be his beer journey. He just want-
ed to do something special.
“We were brewing in plastic…we
were getting it done, boot-strap-
ping it,” he said. “But now we’ve got
our theme. Now we’re the wood
guys.”

 “They are pure, true to
style, and not trying to be
something they’re not.”
-Inez Ribustello

You know what they say – laughter
is the best medicine.
But when I asked Inez Ribustello,
one of the owners of Tarboro Brew-
ing Company, why they make beer,
she had a bit of a different answer.
“For medicine,” she answered,
laughing.
The brewery, located about 30 min-
utes from Greenville, has spent the
past two years crafting beers that
are designed to bring you home –
again and again.
“They are pure, true to style, and not
trying to be something they’re not.”
The most important part about
their beers? It’s the drinkability, Ri-
bustello said.
“This is our motto, and it’s been true.
Our beers taste like beer. They have
great drinkability, meaning you can
drink more than one,” she said. “It’s
beer made from malt, hops, barley,
water, yeast.”
Their most popular beer, The Seed
Spitter, is a 4.4 percent Salted Wa-
termelon Goze Ale made with 1,300
pounds of fresh watermelon – per-
fect for a hot eastern North Carolina
day, Ribustello said.
“I drink my weight in this beer,” she
said with a laugh.
Also on their menu are traditional
IPAs, Belgian-style pale and dubbel
ales and more.
“We’re not trying to be the highest
of alcohol, the hoppiest or the funk-
iest,” she said.
The building that is now home to
Tarboro Brewing Company was an
old car dealership that had been
vacant for years. Ribustello, whose
family also owns the popular, in-
timate American bistro On The
Square, had a vision of opening a
brewery about two years ago. She
said they purchased the building,
raised almost $200,000, and recruit-
ed their headbrew master Franklin
from a large brewery in Pennsylva-
nia.
She said the new venture has been
worth it, but nowhere near easy.
“It has been the hardest thing I’ve
ever done,” she said. “You’re contin-
ually trying to grow and develop.”
Ribustello said she hopes the brew-
ery is a place where the community
can gather and have a good time
together.
“The idea is that you can bring your
Bojangles chicken biscuit or Taco
Bell. You can come in and drink a
beer and be together,” she said. “We
want to make it a space where ev-
erybody is welcome.”

 MINIMALISTIC
YET INNOVATIVE:
Pitt Street Brewing Company

18 September | October 2018 Mixer

Nate McLaughlin moved across the
country four times before ending
up in Greenville, North Carolina.
He had never heard of this town. But
he decided to make the jump – or
flight – to Pirate nation and start
making craft beer.
“I saw a town that needed beer,” the
head brewer of Pitt Street Brewing
Company said.
McLaughlin is from Pennsylvania
originally, but years ago, he packed
up a van and moved to California to
go to beer school. From there, he
was recruited to Dechutes Brewery
in Oregon. Only a few years later,
he moved back to the east coast to
work at Victory Brewing Company in
Pennsylvania.
He didn’t stay there long either, be-
fore making yet another trip across
the country to Washington state to
work at Kulshman Brewing Compa-
ny.
That was his last move out west be-
fore joining Pitt Street Brewing.
“I have a hunger,” McLaughlin said. “I
gotta keep learning.”
So when he saw a post about a
need for a brewer in Greenville, he
met with the investors of Pitt Street
Brewing Company, saw the build-
ing, and before long, he was all in.
“I really liked the investors. I liked
Mixer September | October 2018
what they were offering me. They
were offering me freedom to prac-
tice my art.”
And now, McLaughlin’s knowledge
for craft beer shines through the
various types and styles of beer of-
fered at the brewery. The brewery
boasts their award-winning Dapple
Dog Dry Stout that took home first
prize in the North Carolina Brewers’
Cup in 2017 for best Irish Dry Stout.
McLaughlin said they try to offer a
variety of styles, but also aim to be
creative and innovative – most re-
cently, brewing cervezas with pine-
apple and habenero or cream ales
with avacado.
His approach? Minimalistic.
“In the shortest explanation pos-
sible? Wingin’ it is about how I ap-
proach beer,” he said. “I’ve brewed
tens of thousands of batches...so I
can wing it, and I get close enough.
I get to feel the brew a lot more.”
“Feeling the brew” is an aspect of
the brew process McLaughlin is en-
joying more and more.
“I do like the science of beer, but
more and more I’m liking the art of
beer, feeling the beer. I’m just pre-
cise enough to make it right,” he
said.

Benjamin Self was supposed to be

a doctor.
He has an education background
deeply rooted in science — chem-
ical engineering to be exact.
In 2008, he got a job as an engineer
as a freshly-graduated 22-year old.
But, when the economy tanked, he
lost his job, and absolutely nobody
was hiring.
Except craft breweries.
“The only thing I really gave a crap
about was home-brewing,” Self said.
So he begged and begged brew-
eries around the southeast to give
him an internship until he finally
landed one at Good People Brewing
in Alabama, his home state. They
are the biggest brewery in the state,
and at the time, only one of two in
the whole state of Alabama.
“I was supposed to go the entire
other direction. Turns out [becom-
ing a doctor] was a lot of studying,”
Self said as he laughed about his
unexpected career path.
And now, 10 years later, Self is the
head brewer at Uptown Brewing
Company in Greenville.
It was an unlikely endeavor. But, it’s
one he treasures.
“It all kind of came together really
serendipitously,” Self said. Prior to
Uptown, he worked at Duck-Rab-
bit Craft Brewery in Farmville. Billy
Dunn, a founder of Uptown Brewing

22 September | October 2018 Mixer

Company, heard about Self through
a mutual friend. Self said after they
connected, the duo formed a four-
way partnership with Dunn’s broth-
er Donald and their son Brandon,
and they decided to make beer in
Greenville. They’re coming up on
their two-year anniversary of mak-
ing beers Greenville can call their
own. “I think
Self’s trick to the trade? Simplicity.
“We take a very consistent, quality we make
control approach to everything. We
want to do the classic styles and do exceptionally
them better than everyone else.
That’s our shtick.” clean beer.”
And he does. With West Coast Style
IPAs, American light lagers, Apricot - Benjamin
Wheats, classic American pale ales
and quintessential coffee porters, Self
his beers are familiar. Customers
know what they are getting, every
time.
“I think we make exceptionally
clean beer,” Self said.
“If there’s one thing about Ben,
it’s that he makes really drinkable
beers,” co-owner Donald Dunn said
as he poured a customer a Coffee
Porter.
But it’s the Billy Beer, a light lager
named after one of the owners,
that has become the lifeblood of
the company. They recently broke
ground on their own Billy Beer facil-
ity in Greene County.
Self said he’s excited to continue to
make beer as loyal and consistent
as the community has been to him.
“This was supposed to be kind of an-
other job,” Self admits. “Everybody
up here was so warm and inviting.
I’m a Alabama native, and this is the
first place I’ve been since Alabama
that’s felt like home,” Self said.
