Style of Beer:
West Coast IPA

Riverbend Malt(s) Used:
Base Camp (2-Row Barley Malt), Crystal 50 (2-Row Barley Malt)

Tasting Notes:

In collaboration with Guilford Hall Brewing, Deadstar showcases a clean, crisp backbone that lets hops take center stage. We dialed up the punch with Mosaic and Nectaron hops — a dynamic duo that delivers vibrant tropical fruit character with layers of juicy nectarine and citrus zest. Aromas of grapefruit and orange peel mingle with subtle resinous pine and floral notes, leading into a firm but balanced bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish. It’s a hop-forward celebration of classic West Coast IPA intensity with a modern fruit-driven edge. Featuring Riverbend Malt this beer is perfect for hop lovers who crave crisp drinkability, bold aromatics, and the bright flavors that define this West Coast favorite.

Kentucky Straight Wheated Whiskey

Riverbend Malt(s) Used:
Appalachian Wheat (wheat malt)

Tasting Notes:

For the inaugural release, both distilleries set out to make a whiskey neither had made before: a 100% wheated whiskey built on New Riff’s heirloom Red Turkey Wheat and shaped by Chattanooga’s signature High-Malt style.

Each Single Barrel in this release delivers its own distinct flavor profile, showcasing the unique character of the barrel it came from. As a collection, this release generally presents a bold and layered experience:

Nose: Clove, cinnamon, caramel, and a warm, woody cereal.
Taste: Rich honey and toffee intertwined with oak.
Finish: Lingering wood spice and cereal sweetness of frosted flakes and a hint of cinnamon.

When/Where Available:
Find these bottles at Chattanooga Whiskey and New Riff Distilling, respectively, while supplies last.
